The finite-by-null conjecture for omega-categorical pseudofinite rings
The finite-by-null conjecture for omega-categorical pseudofinite rings
Let be a ring that is both omega-categorical, meaning that its theory has a unique countable model up to isomorphism, and pseudofinite, meaning that it is infinite and every first-order sentence true in has a finite model. A ring is null if for all . It is finite-by-null if it has a finite two-sided ideal such that the quotient by is null. The finite-by-null conjecture. The ring has a definable two-sided ideal of finite index which is finite-by-null; that is, has a finite two-sided ideal such that is null. This conjecture is presented as a ring-theoretic analogue of the preceding group conjecture; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
