Abstract

We propose a recipe for constructing a SIC fiducial vector in complex Hilbert space of dimension of the form d=n2+3, focussing on prime dimensions d=p. Such structures are shown to exist in thirteen prime dimensions of this kind, the highest being p=19603. The real quadratic base field K (in the standard SIC terminology) attached to such dimensions has fundamental units uK of norm -1. Let mathbb{Z}K denote the ring of integers of K, then pmathbb{Z}K splits into two ideals mathfrak{p} and mathfrak{p}'. The initial entry of the fiducial is the square ξ2 of a geometric scaling factor ξ, which lies in one of the fields K\(sqrt{uK}\). Strikingly, the other p-1 entries of the fiducial vector are each the product of ξ and the square root of a Stark unit. These Stark units are obtained via the Stark conjectures from the value at s=0 of the first derivatives of partial L functions attached to the characters of the ray class group of mathbb{Z}K with modulus mathfrak{p}infty1, where infty1 is one of the real places of K.
