Dąbrowski's suspension conjecture for free involutions

About 11 years old · traced to

Let AA be a unital C∗C^*-algebra with a free action of Z/2Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}. Its unreduced suspension is

ΣA={f∈C([−1,1],A):f(−1),f(1)∈C}.\Sigma A=\{f\in C([-1,1],A):f(-1),f(1)\in\mathbb{C}\}.

The action extends to ΣA\Sigma A by αΣf(t)=α(f(−t))\alpha_\Sigma f(t)=\alpha(f(-t)). Dąbrowski's conjecture. There is no Z/2Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}-equivariant ∗*-homomorphism

ϕ:A→ΣA.\phi:A\to\Sigma A.

This conjecture seeks a noncommutative analogue of the Borsuk–Ulam obstruction and was proposed in connection with noncommutative Brouwer fixed point theorems. The source gives no resolution status.
