Suslin's conjecture on universal vanishing of SK⁡1\operatorname{SK}_1

About 16 years old · traced to

Let FF be a field, let AA be a central simple FF-algebra, and for every extension L/FL/F write SK⁡1(A⊗FL)\operatorname{SK}_1(A\otimes_F L) for the reduced Whitehead group. Suslin's conjecture. If

SK⁡1(A⊗FL)=0\operatorname{SK}_1(A\otimes_F L)=0

for every extension L/FL/F, then the index of AA is square-free. Merkurjev proved the assertion whenever 44 divides the index, but the general conjecture remains open.
