Existence conjecture for towers of algebras with prescribed Cartan invariants

About 22 years old · traced to

Let (An)n≥0(A_n)_{n\geq 0} be a tower of algebras, and let C(n)C^{(n)} denote the prescribed matrices associated with the tower's Cartan invariants. Existence conjecture. There exists a tower of algebras (An)(A_n) such that the C(n)C^{(n)} are their matrices of Cartan invariants. In particular, one should have dim⁡An=n!\dim A_n=n!. The conjecture is motivated by computations of the corresponding quivers and relations for n≤6n\leq 6, whose apparent regularity suggests an underlying tower, although the algebras are not yet understood sufficiently well to construct them for arbitrary nn.
