The conjectural form of the Poincaré–Betti series for AnA_n

At least 26 years old · documented by

Let AnA_n be the naturally graded KK-algebra considered in the paper, let r(n)r(n) be its number of variables, and let Cn,1C_{n,1} denote the stated coefficient, with Cn,1=⌈n/2⌉C_{n,1}=\lceil n/2\rceil. For the Poincaré–Betti series, write

P(Tor⁡∗An(K,K),t)=−(1+t)ℓ1(n)qn(t),qn(t)=∑i=0ℓ2(n)hi(n)ti.P(\operatorname{Tor}_{*}^{A_n}(K,K),t)=-\frac{(1+t)^{\ell_1(n)}}{q_n(t)},\qquad q_n(t)=\sum_{i=0}^{\ell_2(n)}h_i(n)t^i.

Conjectural Poincaré–Betti series formula. The polynomial qn(t)q_n(t) satisfies qn(−1)≠0q_n(-1)\neq 0, and

ℓ1(n)=#{odd primes p:p2≤n},ℓ2(n)=ℓ1(n)+1,\ell_1(n)=\#\{\text{odd primes }p:p^2\leq n\},\qquad \ell_2(n)=\ell_1(n)+1,

with

h0(n)=−1,h1(n)=r(n)−ℓ1(n),hℓ2(n)(n)=Cn,1=⌈n/2⌉.h_0(n)=-1,\qquad h_1(n)=r(n)-\ell_1(n),\qquad h_{\ell_2(n)}(n)=C_{n,1}=\lceil n/2\rceil.

This proposes a precise numerator and denominator structure for the Poincaré–Betti series of the algebras AnA_n. The supplied text does not indicate whether the assertion is proved or remains open.
