Farjoun's abelian-cokernel conjecture for group localizations
Farjoun's abelian-cokernel conjecture for group localizations
Let be a localization on the category of groups, let be a group, and let be the localization map. The cokernel of this map is the quotient of by the normal closure of the image of . Farjoun's abelian-cokernel conjecture. For any localization on the category of groups and any group , the cokernel of the map is abelian. The source proves that this conjecture fails for the Baumslag rationalization and the free group of rank , so the conjecture is refuted.
