The collapse conjecture for finite simple groups
The collapse conjecture for finite simple groups
Let be a finite group. Say that collapses if every finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebra with group of grouplikes is isomorphic to ; equivalently, every nonzero Yetter–Drinfeld module has infinite-dimensional Nichols algebra . Collapse conjecture. If is a non-abelian finite simple group, then collapses. This conjecture would provide a guiding principle for the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras over non-abelian finite simple groups; the stated passage presents it as supported by evidence accumulated over the preceding years, without recording a resolution.
