Gubeladze's nilpotence conjecture for monoid algebras

Let kk be a commutative ring, let MM be an abelian monoid, and let c=(c1,c2,)\mathfrak c=(c_1,c_2,\ldots) be a sequence of integers with ci2c_i\ge 2. For each c2c\ge 2, the dilation θc:k[M]k[M]\theta_c:k[M]\to k[M] is defined by θc(χa)=χac\theta_c(\chi_a)=\chi_{a^c}, and write

K(k[M])c=colimθcnK(k[M]).K_*(k[M])^{\mathfrak c}=\operatorname*{colim}_{\theta_{c_n}}K_*(k[M]).

Assume that kk is regular Noetherian and that MM is cancellative, torsion-free, and has no non-trivial units. Gubeladze's nilpotence conjecture.

K(k[M])c=K(k).K_*(k[M])^{\mathfrak c}=K_*(k).

This predicts that all nilpotent contributions disappear after iterated dilations; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
