Finiteness conjecture for filtered lambda-ring structures with prescribed Adams linear coefficients

About 21 years old · traced to

Let nn be an integer with n≥3n\geq 3, and let

{bp∈pZ:p prime}\{b_p\in p\mathbf{Z}:p\text{ prime}\}

be a family of nonzero integers. A filtered λ\lambda-ring structure on Z[x]/(xn)\mathbf{Z}[x]/(x^n) has prescribed Adams linear coefficients {bp}\{b_p\} when its Adams operations satisfy

ψp(x)≡bpx(modx2)\psi^p(x)\equiv b_p x\pmod{x^2}

for every prime pp. Finiteness conjecture. There are only finitely many isomorphism classes of filtered λ\lambda-ring structures on Z[x]/(xn)\mathbf{Z}[x]/(x^n) with these prescribed Adams linear coefficients. The case n=3n=3 is contained in a theorem, but the assertion for general nn remains open.
