The proper containment conjecture for identities of principal subalgebras
The proper containment conjecture for identities of principal subalgebras
Let be a finite but non-acyclic quiver, and let denote its principal subalgebra generated by paths of positive length. Suppose there exists a vertex with no non-trivial path satisfying .
Proper containment conjecture. The ideal of polynomial identities of the path algebra is properly contained in that of its principal subalgebra:
The conjecture proposes a general explanation for the examples in which the two identity ideals differ for finite but non-acyclic quivers. Its status is not established by the supplied text.
