The Invertibles Conjecture for group rings

At least 14 years old · documented by

Let KK be a division ring and let GG be a group. A one-sided invertible element of K[G]K[G] is an element having either a left or a right inverse. The Invertibles Conjecture. If K[G]K[G] contains a one-sided invertible element that is not of the form kgkg for g∈Gg\in G and k∈Kk\in K, then GG has torsion. This conjecture is presented as a well-known conjecture about group rings and is attributed in the source to a statement of V02 for K=CK=\mathbb{C}; its resolution is not specified in the supplied text.
