The conjecture that the unit-group ring is trivial for non-big non-imaginary-quadratic fields
The conjecture that the unit-group ring is trivial for non-big non-imaginary-quadratic fields
Let be a non-big field, meaning an algebraic extension of that is not big, and let denote the ring constructed from the unit group of . Triviality conjecture. If is not an imaginary quadratic field, then
Earlier results in the source show this in several cases, including degree- extensions and non-big fields without imaginary quadratic subfields or that are CM-fields. The conjecture remains open in the general non-big, non-imaginary-quadratic case.
