Nakai's conjecture for finitely generated algebras
Nakai's conjecture for finitely generated algebras
Let be a field of characteristic , and let be a finitely generated -algebra. For each , let denote the set of -th order derivations of over .
Nakai's conjecture. If is generated by for every , then is regular.
The conjecture asks whether differential operators generated by derivations can detect singularities. It is known in several special cases, including irreducible curves, monomial ideals, and certain hypersurfaces, while the general case remains open; the supplied parser gives no resolution status.
