Moore's conjecture on projectivity over finite-index subgroups
Moore's conjecture on projectivity over finite-index subgroups
Let be a group and a subgroup of finite index. Moore's condition is that no elements of prime order lie in . Let be a -module.
Moore's conjecture. If is projective over , then it is projective over . In particular, for torsion-free , projectivity over is equivalent to projectivity over .
This conjecture generalizes Serre's theorem on cohomological dimensions of torsion-free groups and finite-index subgroups. The paper proves it for groups in Kropholler's hierarchy and establishes additional closure properties and examples, but the general conjecture remains open.
