How can I prove that a sequence of squares of graph norms is never cyclotomic?

The norm of a graph is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. I'll write ||G|| for the norm of G. Now, fix some graph <...

Multiplicative set of positive algebraic integers

Let $S$ be a set of algebraic integers such that: $\mathbb{N}_{\ge 1} \subseteq S \subset \mathbb{R}_{\ge 1}$, $\alpha, \beta \in S \Rightarrow \alpha \beta \in S$, $\alpha, \beta \in S \Rightarrow ...

Unique factorization for the semigroup generated by {2cos(π/n) | n>3}?

Let $S$ be the multiplicative semigroup of numbers generated by $B=\{ 2cos(\frac{\pi}{n}) \mid n \ge 4 \}$. Question: Does every number of $S$ factorize uniquely (up to perm.) as a product of ...

What are all the possible indices for the finite depth subfactors?

Jones index theorem (1983) states that the set of all possible (finite) indices of subfactors is exactly $$\mathrm{Ind}=\{ 4 \cos(\pi/n)^2 \ | \ n \ge 3 \} \cup [4, \infty),$$ but if we restrict to ...

Extended cyclotomic criterion for unitary categorification

According to this paper (Corollary 8.54) the Frobenius-Perron dimension (FPdim) of any object $a$ of a fusion category over $\mathbb{C}$ is a cyclotomic integer. Now, FPdim($a$) is the maximal ...

Extension of a theorem of Bisch to cyclotomic integers of fixed degree

Theorem 3.2 in this paper (Bisch, 1994) states that for a finite depth ${\rm II}_1$ subfactor of integral index, every intermediate subfactor are also of integral index. As an application, every such ...
