Research summary
The paper proves the largest AKLT transfer eigenvalue through complete positivity, solves the wedge-family spectrum as an orthogonal-polynomial system, and derives a basis criterion for outer multiplicities. It also refutes the general degeneracy claim through three distinct mechanisms and clarifies the scope of the original conjecture.
