All Questions

The Kaplansky conjecture and Kaplanski-Kadison conjecture are classical conjectures about non existence of non-trivial idempotents in group algebra $\mathbb{C}\Gamma $ or the reduced group algebra $...

Revision: According to comment of Wojowu we give a complete revise for this post. A group $G$ is a pr-group if all projections of $C^*_{\text{red}} G$ are contained in its dense subalgebra $\mathbb{...

Edit: According to comment conversations we revise the question. Let $G$ be a group. We consider the following subset of $G$: $$\{g\in G \mid e^{\lambda_g} \in \mathbb{C}\lambda (G)\},$$ where $\...

Edit: According to answer and comments by Prof. Valette we edite the question. The Kadison Kaplansky conjecture says: Kadison-Kaplansky conjecture: If $G$ is a torsion-free discrete group then $C^*_{\...

Let $G$ be a torsion-free group. Let $\alpha$ be a symmetric element of $\mathbb CG$, i.e. $\alpha^*=\alpha$, with $\|\alpha\|_1=\sum|\alpha(g)|<1$, so $\beta:=\sum_{n\ge 0}(-1)^n\alpha^n$ is an ...

Let $G$ be an arbitrary torsion-free group. For $x,y\in G$, which of these elements‌ can be decided immediately not to be zero divisors in $\mathbb ZG$ (or in $\mathbb CG$)? $$1+x+y,\quad 4+x+x^{-1}+y+...
