The maximal nilpotency conjecture for Verp∞\mathsf{Ver}_{p^\infty}

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let C\mathcal{C} be a tensor category. For every simple object L≠1L\ne\mathbb{1}, require that Sym⁡L\operatorname{Sym} L be finite, and for every non-split monomorphism α:1↪X\alpha:\mathbb{1}\hookrightarrow X, require that αn:1→Sym⁡nX\alpha^n:\mathbb{1}\to\operatorname{Sym}^nX vanish for some nn. A tensor category satisfying both conditions is maximally nilpotent, or MN. Maximal nilpotency conjecture. The category Verp∞\mathsf{Ver}_{p^\infty} is MN. Maximal nilpotency is characterized in the surrounding text by nilpotence of the radical in every algebra object and by the integral-domain property of domains; the source gives no resolution status for this assertion.
