The Kadison–Kaplansky conjecture for torsion-free groups

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let Γ\Gamma be a torsion-free group, and let Cr∗ΓC^*_r\Gamma be its reduced C∗C^*-algebra. A projection in Cr∗ΓC^*_r\Gamma is non-trivial if it is different from 00 and 11.

Kadison–Kaplansky conjecture. The algebra Cr∗ΓC^*_r\Gamma 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.
