The division-ring embedding conjecture for torsion-free group algebras
The division-ring embedding conjecture for torsion-free group algebras
Let be a torsion-free group and let be a field. The division-ring embedding conjecture. The group algebra embeds into a division ring.
This is a strengthening of Kaplansky's zero-divisor conjecture, which only asserts that has no zero divisors. The source states that this strengthening is wide open; it is motivated by the fact that the Strong Atiyah Conjecture implies the zero-divisor conjecture for torsion-free groups.
