The stable-rank-two conjecture for the real disc algebra

About 19 years old · traced to

Let AR(D)A_\mathbb{R}(\mathbb{D}) denote the real disc algebra, consisting of functions analytic on D\mathbb{D}, continuous on D‾\overline{\mathbb{D}}, and satisfying the relevant real-symmetry condition. Its stable rank is the least integer controlling unimodular tuples in the algebra. Stable-rank-two conjecture. The stable rank of AR(D)A_\mathbb{R}(\mathbb{D}) is two. The preceding argument establishes only that the stable rank is at least two; the conjecture asserts the matching upper bound and hence an exact value.
