Geller's conjecture on injectivity of for one-dimensional local domains
Let be a local one-dimensional domain with field of fractions . Geller's conjecture. The ring is regular if and only if the map
is injective.
The conjecture gives a criterion for regularity in terms of the injectivity of the map from the second algebraic K-group of a singular or regular local ring to that of its fraction field. It was verified in several cases, including noetherian equicharacteristic characteristic-zero rings that are seminormal with finite normalisation and cuspidal rings of the form , but remains unknown in almost all other cases.
