Algebraic theorems with no known algebraic proofs
What are some good examples of algebraic theorems that have no known algebraic proofs?
A few I know concern classifications of (not necessarily associative) division algebras over $\mathbb{R}$: the ...

The monoid of stably-free modules over integral group rings
Fix a torsion-free group G, let $M_G$ be the monoid of stably-free $\mathbb{Z}G$-modules under operation $\oplus$, the direct sum of modules.
In studying objects related to Wall’s D2 problem on CW-...

Hurwitz–Radon problem for $ \mathbb{Q} ^{n} $
What is the maximal number of orthogonal operators $ A _{1} , \dotsc, A _ {m} $ in $ \mathbb{Q}^{ n } $ satisfying the relations $ A_{i}^{2} = - I $ and $ A_{i}A_{j} + A_{j}A_{i} = 0 $ for $ i \neq ...

Hochschild homology of acyclic complex
Let $A$ be a differential graded algebra over a commutative ring $R$. Suppose that $H_*(A)=0$, i.e. $A$ is acyclic.
Question: Does this imply that the Hochschild homology $HH_*(A)$ also vanishes ...

Vanishing of Hochschild homology of a category
Let $A$ be a dg- or $A_{\infty}$-category (with $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Hom sets, over a field of characteristic $0$). Let $HH_*(A)$ be the Hochschild homology of $A$.
Suppose that $HH_n(A)=0$ for all $n ...

Koszul complex for non-Koszul algebras
Let $A$ be a graded, connected, locally finite, quadratic algebra over a field $k$; that is, $A$ may be presented as $T(V)/I$, where $V = A_1$ is a finite dimensional $k$ vector space, and the ideal $...

Nullstellensatz for quaternionic plane curves?
By a quaternionic plane curve I mean the zero locus of a noncommutative polynomial in two variables, $x$ and $y$ say, over ${\Bbb H}$, Hamilton's quaternions. It is evidently well-known that, after ...

Graded commutativity of cup in Hochschild cohomology
I am trying to get used to Hochschild cohomology of algebras by proving its properties. I am currently trying to show that the cup product is graded-commutative (because I heard this somewhere); ...
