The condensed Whitehead conjecture for complete Boolean algebras
The condensed Whitehead conjecture for complete Boolean algebras
Let be an abelian group and let be a complete Boolean algebra. Write for the associated Stone space, and let is not Whitehead mean that forces that is not a Whitehead group. Let and denote the corresponding condensed abelian groups, and let denote the condensed Ext functor.
The condensed Whitehead conjecture. Suppose that is an abelian group, is a complete Boolean algebra, and
Then
The conjecture proposes that the technical strengthening of the failure of to be Whitehead used in the paper's theorem is unnecessary. It is refuted: the converse does not hold, as shown in the discussion following Corollary.
