The multiplicity conjecture for Whitehead groups of
The multiplicity conjecture for Whitehead groups of
Let be an odd prime and let be a positive integer. For , define
where is if is even and if it is odd. Let be the Whitehead group under consideration. Multiplicity conjecture. For an integer and an odd prime , the multiplicity of , for , in the decomposition of as a product of cyclic groups is if , and otherwise. In particular, the multiplicity of is , while the multiplicity of is always . The conjecture is motivated by explicit computations for ; the exponent is known to be , so the multiplicity of is zero. The general decomposition remains conjectural.
