Conjecture on the cyclic cohomology of the smooth dihedral group-algebra subalgebra

About 25 years old · traced to

Let A∞A^{\infty} be the smooth subalgebra of the group C∗C^*-algebra associated with the dihedral group, and let HCn(A∞)HC^n(A^{\infty}) denote its cyclic cohomology in degree nn. Cyclic cohomology conjecture. The cyclic cohomology of A∞A^{\infty} is given by

HCn(A∞)={C3:n  even,n≥20:n  odd,n≥1HC^{n}( A^{\infty} ) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} \mathbf{C}^3 &: n\,\,even, n \geq 2\\ 0 &: n\,\,odd, n \geq 1 \\ \end{array} \right.

This conjecture concerns whether the smooth subalgebra has any additional cyclic cohomology classes beyond those detected on the group ring; in particular, it asserts that there are no nonzero ghost cocycles in the indicated degrees. The surrounding discussion notes that the known degree-zero cocycles extend to A∞A^{\infty}, but does not establish the full cyclic cohomology calculation.
