The generator conjecture for regular local rings
The generator conjecture for regular local rings
Let be a commutative noetherian ring with unit and let . Denote by the category of finitely generated -modules whose support has codimension at least . A sequence in is an -regular sequence if every is a nonunit, is not a zero divisor of , and is not a zero divisor of for . Generator conjecture. For any commutative regular local ring and any natural number , the Grothendieck group is generated by the cyclic modules where is an -regular sequence. This is a central problem in commutative algebra and algebraic -theory, with connections to Serre's intersection multiplicity conjecture; the source provides no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
