Cameron's prime-element conjecture for permutation group algebras
Let ) be a permutation group on an infinite set , and let be Cameron's commutative, associative, graded algebra encoding the action of on finite subsets of . Let be the element of the degree-one component defined in the paper.
Cameron's prime-element conjecture. If has no finite orbits, then is a prime element in .
This is one of Cameron's conjectures concerning zero divisors in permutation group algebras. The paper presents it as the stronger of two conjectures and indicates that the weaker integral-domain conjecture follows from it; its general status is not specified here.
