Eventual 4-periodicity conjecture for -Mackey functors
Eventual 4-periodicity conjecture for -Mackey functors
Let be prime and let be a -Mackey functor. A projective resolution of is eventually -periodic if its differentials repeat with period from some point onward. Eventual 4-periodicity conjecture. Every -Mackey functor admits an eventually -periodic projective resolution. This is motivated by the -periodicity of projective resolutions for -modules and by experiments with 1000 randomly generated -Mackey functors over various primes. The conjecture is presented as an experimental expectation, and no proof or disproof is given in the source.
