Subalgebra of group algebra generated by idempotents
Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $A$ and $B$ be two abelian subgroups of $G$. Let $K$ be a number field such that all characters of $A$ and of $B$ take values in $K$. Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring ...

Zero divisors with support size 3 in complex group algebras of residually finite groups
Conjecture. There exists a function $f:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ such that if $\beta$ is a non-zero element of the complex group algebra $\mathbb{C}[G]$ of a finite group $G$ such that $1\...

I also could not prove it does not exist. ...
