Bardakov–Etingof–Sosnovsky conjecture on idempotents in integral latin quandle rings

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let XX be a finite latin quandle, and let u∈Z[X]u\in\mathbb{Z}[X] be a nonzero idempotent, so u2=uu^2=u. An element of XX is called a trivial idempotent, and ε\varepsilon denotes the augmentation map. Bardakov–Etingof–Sosnovsky's conjecture. The element uu is a trivial idempotent and

ε(u)=1.\varepsilon(u)=1.

This conjecture concerns the classification of idempotents in integral quandle rings; it is stated here as a known conjecture for finite latin quandles, and its resolution is not indicated in the supplied text.
