Kaplanski's zero divisor conjecture for group rings
Kaplanski's zero divisor conjecture for group rings
Let be a torsion-free group and let be an integral domain. A non-trivial zero divisor in the group ring is a nonzero element for which there exists a nonzero such that . Kaplanski's zero divisor conjecture. The group ring does not contain non-trivial zero divisors. Progress concerning the conjecture has been made in various directions, including restrictions on possible zero divisors over the rationals, but the conjecture itself remains open.
