Cancellation conjecture for nonsingular full Q-forms
Cancellation conjecture for nonsingular full Q-forms
Let be a form parameter, and let a nonsingular full -form be a nonsingular -form whose linearisation is surjective. Write for the standard hyperbolic form on , and let denote the genus, namely the largest non-negative integer such that
for a nonsingular full -form . Cancellation conjecture. Let and be nonsingular full -forms of the same rank with . Then: (a) for some non-negative integer , is isomorphic to ; and (b) if and , or if , then and are isomorphic. This is motivated by Kreck’s stable diffeomorphism and cancellation theorems and proposes algebraic analogues for full nonsingular -forms; the source supplies no resolution, so the conjecture is treated as open.
