Self-duality conjecture for finite Grassmann algebras
Self-duality conjecture for finite Grassmann algebras
Let be the Grassmann algebra with generators, and write and for its even and odd parts. Let denote the set of continuous -linear maps from to , meaning that for and .
Self-duality conjecture. For every , there exists such that
for every .
The claim is motivated by the expected self-duality of the odd part of a Grassmann algebra, but the paper states that Kazuo Masuda supplied a counterexample when : the map defined by is continuous and -linear, yet no such exists. Thus the conjecture is refuted for finite , while the paper suggests that self-duality may require countably many Grassmann generators.
