Han's conjecture on Hochschild homology and smoothness

Let BB be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field kk. Write HHn(B)\operatorname{HH}_n(B) for the Hochschild homology groups of BB. The algebra BB is (homologically) smooth over kk when it is perfect as a bimodule over its enveloping algebra. Han's conjecture. If HHn(B)\operatorname{HH}_n(B) is nonzero for only finitely many nZn\in\mathbb{Z}, then BB is (homologically) smooth over kk. The conjecture is a classical statement for finite-dimensional algebras; this paper's abstract distinguishes it from the DG generalization, which the paper disproves. The supplied text does not state whether Han's original conjecture has been resolved.
