Asymptotic sharpness of the characteristic bound for Heisenberg-group modules

About 15 years old · traced to

Let H1H_1 be the Heisenberg group, and let pp and qq denote primes. A module is understood to be over a field of characteristic pp, and conditions (1) and (2) refer to the conditions in the paper's main theorem.

Asymptotic sharpness conjecture. There exists a prime qq such that, for every prime p≥qp \geq q, there exists a p+12\frac{p+1}{2}-dimensional module for H1H_1 over a field of characteristic pp which does not satisfy at least one of conditions (1) and (2) of the main theorem.

This conjecture asserts that the hypothesis p≥2dp \geq 2d is asymptotically sharp. The paper also proposes the weaker formulation that such modules exist for arbitrarily large primes pp; no resolution is supplied here.
