The recursive demipotent conjecture for meet semi-lattices
The recursive demipotent conjecture for meet semi-lattices
Let be a meet semi-lattice with a fixed linear extension, and let range over the valid diagrams of , meaning subsets containing the minimal elements and stable under joins. For each valid diagram , let be the element constructed recursively from the restriction of and as in the branching construction. Recursive demipotent conjecture. The set
forms a set of demipotent elements for which, after raising each element to a sufficiently high power, yields a set of primitive orthogonal idempotents. The claim would extend the branching decomposition from the discussed examples to arbitrary meet semi-lattices and provide primitive idempotents through powers of the recursively constructed elements. The supplied text presents it as conjectural and gives no resolution.
