Multiplicativity conjecture for discriminant algebras and norm functors

About 5 years old · traced to

Let Δ\Delta be the discriminant algebra operation, sending rank-nn algebras A→B\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{B} to quadratic algebras A→ΔB/A\mathcal{A}\to\Delta_{\mathcal{B}/\mathcal{A}}. Let A→B\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{B} be a rank-nn algebra and B→C\mathcal{B}\to\mathcal{C} a rank-mm algebra, so that A→C\mathcal{A}\to\mathcal{C} has rank mnmn. Discriminant–norm multiplicativity conjecture. There is an isomorphism of quadratic A\mathcal{A}-algebras

ΔC/A≅NmB/A(ΔC/B)∗ΔB/A∗m.\Delta_{\mathcal{C}/\mathcal{A}}\cong \mathrm{Nm}_{\mathcal{B}/\mathcal{A}}(\Delta_{\mathcal{C}/\mathcal{B}})\ast\Delta_{\mathcal{B}/\mathcal{A}}^{\ast m}.

This conjecture proposes a compatibility between the discriminant algebra operation and the norm functor under composition of finite-rank algebra extensions; its status is not resolved in the supplied context.
