Morita's trace-pullback conjecture for the homology-cobordism group
Let and be the homology-cobordism groups in the source, let be the homomorphism to the inverse limit of automorphism groups of nilpotent quotients, and let be its induced homomorphism on . For each , let be the corresponding trace class in the second cohomology of that inverse limit. Morita's conjecture. For every , is non-trivial in , while is trivial in . The assertion is proposed as a way to obtain additive invariants of the group of homology -sphere cobordism classes and remains open.
