Minimal-idempotent reduction conjecture for the Kadison–Singer problem
Let be a countable discrete group, let be its Stone–Čech compactification, and let be a minimal idempotent, meaning an idempotent point minimal in the relevant semigroup order. Let be the state associated with .
Minimal-idempotent reduction conjecture. If a minimal idempotent has a unique state extension, then every point has a unique state extension. Thus, for any fixed minimal idempotent , the Kadison–Singer conjecture is true if and only if has a unique state extension.
This would reduce the global Kadison–Singer problem to checking the extension property for one minimal idempotent, but the source gives no proof or resolution.
