Abstract

The aim of this paper is to get a complete list of positivedefinite symmetric matrices with integer entries$\left[\begin{smallmatrix}a &b \\ b &d\end{smallmatrix}\right]$ such that allcomplex solutions to the system of equations\begin{align}1-x_1=x_1^ax_2^b, \nonumber \\1-x_2=x_1^bx_2^d \nonumber\end{align}are real. This result is related to Nahm's conjecture in rank 2 case.
