  4. Kaplansky's conjectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplansky's_conjectures

    Kaplansky's zero divisor conjecture states: The group ring K[G] does not contain nontrivial zero divisors, that is, it is a domain. Two related conjectures are known as, respectively, Kaplansky's idempotent conjecture: K[G] does not contain any non-trivial idempotents, i.e., if a 2 = a, then a = 1 or a = 0.

    In abstract algebra, Kaplansky's theorem on projective modules, first proven by Irving Kaplansky, states that a projective module over a local ring is free; [1] where a not-necessarily-commutative ring is called local if for each element x, either x or 1 − x is a unit element. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplansky's_theorem_on...

    Five results similar to Kaplansky's theorem are known: [3] A prime p congruent to 1 modulo 20 is representable by both or none of x 2 + 20y 2 and x 2 + 100y 2, whereas a prime p congruent to 9 modulo 20 is representable by exactly one of these quadratic forms.

  9. Baum–Connes conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baum–Connes_conjecture

    For instance, the surjectivity part implies the Kadison–Kaplansky conjecture for discrete torsion-free groups, and the injectivity is closely related to the Novikov conjecture. The conjecture is also closely related to index theory , as the assembly map μ {\displaystyle \mu } is a sort of index, and it plays a major role in Alain Connes ...
