Moore's conjecture on projectivity over finite-index subgroup extensions
Moore's conjecture on projectivity over finite-index subgroup extensions
Let be a group, let be a subgroup of finite index, and let be an arbitrary ring. Assume that for every nontrivial element of , at least one of the following conditions holds: , in particular if is torsion free; or is finite and invertible in . Moore's conjecture. Every -module that is projective over is also projective over . Moore's conjecture is an infinite analogue of Chouinard's theorem and implies Serre's result that a torsion-free group with a finite-index subgroup of finite cohomological dimension has the same finite cohomological dimension. The conjecture is stated here without evidence of resolution.
