The Kadison–Kaplansky conjecture for torsion-free groups
Let be a torsion-free group, and let be its reduced -algebra. A projection in is non-trivial if it is different from and .
Kadison–Kaplansky conjecture. The algebra contains no non-trivial projections. The conjecture is presented as a consequence of surjectivity of the Baum–Connes assembly map and the trace conjecture. The source does not state whether it has been resolved.
