The conjecture that locally indicable groups are Lewin groups
The conjecture that locally indicable groups are Lewin groups
A group is a Lewin group if, for every field with a -action, the crossed product admits a Hughes-free -division ring that is its universal division ring of fractions. Locally indicable groups conjecture. Every locally indicable group is a Lewin group, and in particular a Hughes group.
The conjecture links local indicability with the universal division-ring-of-fractions property. The source attributes it to Jaikin-Zapirain; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
