The winning-strategy conjecture for Ideal Chomp on polynomial algebras
The winning-strategy conjecture for Ideal Chomp on polynomial algebras
Let be the polynomial algebra in variables over an algebraically closed field , with . In the Ideal Chomp Game, player A and player B alternately choose proper ideals according to the game's rules, and a player wins when the opponent has no legal move.
Winning-strategy conjecture. Player A has a winning strategy on for any .
This conjecture concerns the open question of determining the winner of the Ideal Chomp Game on polynomial algebras in arbitrary dimension. The preceding examples show winning strategies for player A in several related algebras, but the general case remains open.
