A counterexample to the unit conjecture for group rings
نویسندگان
چکیده
The unit conjecture, commonly attributed to Kaplansky, predicts that if $K$ is a field and $G$ torsion-free group, then the only units of group ring $K[G]$ are trivial units, is, non-zero scalar multiples elements. We give concrete counterexample this conjecture; virtually abelian order two.

The Auslander-Reiten Conjecture for Group Rings
This paper studies the vanishing of $Ext$ modules over group rings. Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $ga$ a group. We provide a criterion under which the vanishing of self extensions of a finitely generated $Rga$-module $M$ forces it to be projective. Using this result, it is shown that $Rga$ satisfies the Auslander-Reiten conjecture, whenever $R$ has finite global dimension and $ga...
متن کاملA Counterexample to Borsuk's Conjecture
Let f(d) be the smallest number so that every set in Rd of diameter 1 can be partitioned into f(d) sets of diameter smaller than 1. Borsuk's conjecture was that f(d)=d+\ . We prove that f(d)>(\.2)^ for large d.
متن کاملA Counterexample to the Finite Height Conjecture
By J onsson's Lemma, the variety V(K) generated by a nite lattice has only nitely many subvarieties. This led to the conjecture that, conversely, if a lattice variety has only nitely many subvarieties, then it is generated by a nite lattice. A stronger form of the conjecture states that a nitely generated variety V(K) has only nitely many covers in the lattice of lattice varieties, and that eac...
متن کاملA Counterexample to the “hot Spots” Conjecture
We construct a counterexample to the “hot spots” conjecture; there exists a bounded connected planar domain (with two holes) such that the second eigenvalue of the Laplacian in that domain with Neumann boundary conditions is simple and such that the corresponding eigenfunction attains its strict maximum at an interior point of that domain.
