BPS conjecture on augmentation quotients of dihedral quandle rings

About 8 years old · traced to

Let RnR_n be the dihedral quandle, and let Δk(Rn)\Delta^k(R_n) denote the kk-th power of its augmentation ideal.

BPS conjecture. \begin{enumerate} \item If n>1n>1 is an odd integer, then

Δk(Rn)/Δk+1(Rn)≅Zn\Delta^k(R_n) / \Delta^{k+1}(R_n) \cong \mathbb{Z}_n

for all k≥1k \geq 1. \item If n>2n>2 is an even integer, then

∣Δk(Rn)/Δk+1(Rn)∣=n|\Delta^k(R_n) / \Delta^{k+1}(R_n)| = n

for all k≥2k \geq 2. \end{enumerate} The conjecture concerns the successive quotients of powers of the augmentation ideal in the quandle ring of a dihedral quandle. The source paper presents it as a conjecture from BPS and discusses its proof and further progress, but the supplied status is unknown.
