| Dec 8, 2014 at 15:55 | comment | added | Joël | I am not an expert but there are counter-examples to the conjecture "with coefficients" since about 20 years (due to V. Lafforgue and others). Is the conjecture without coefficients almost as useful than the conjecture in general ? | |
| Nov 30, 2014 at 1:34 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | @PaulSiegel In my case it wasn't operator algebraists per se, it was geometric group theorists, or at least the operator algebraists wanting to get in on the GGT action :) | |
| Nov 30, 2014 at 1:10 | comment | added | Paul Siegel | @YemonChoi Its importance is adequately (or perhaps excessively) stated among operator algebraists, but having found myself in a department without any I was surprised to learn that almost nobody has heard of it. | |

| Nov 30, 2014 at 0:43 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | I'm not disagreeing with your claims of importance, but I am amused to hear that nowadays its importance is "quite understated" -- when I was a PhD student it seemed to be extremely fashionable | |
