Semisimplicity conjecture for the Cohen–Wales algebra
Semisimplicity conjecture for the Cohen–Wales algebra
Let , and be three nonzero complex numbers with . The Cohen–Wales algebra (CGW algebra) with parameters and is considered over the field .
Semisimplicity conjecture. The CGW algebra is semisimple except possibly if is a root of unity or if
This conjecture gives the expected exceptional parameter values for semisimplicity, in the spirit of known semisimplicity criteria for related algebras. The source provides no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
