[edit]There are numerous conjectures of Irving Kaplansky, for example a list on Hopf algebras also. So a better title could be sought for the page.
Zero-divisor conjecture is probably better, but there is also another such named conjecture, in commutative algebra.

A counterexample to the unit conjecture?
[edit]From an edit i undid (this is too early to be added to the article but if accepted by the math community should be put back so I saved it here for future reference) :
- "In a pre-print from 2021, Gardam[1] produced an example of a group over such that contains a non-trivial unit. If correct, this would hence show that the Kaplansky unit conjecture is false."

- As far as I can tell the preprint looks good (did not check it yet) so hopefully it'll be accepted in a journal soon and we can add it to the article. jraimbau (talk) 12:25, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Gardam's preprint mentions that the unit conjecture appears in Graham Higman's DPhil Thesis 'The units of group-rings'. I think this should be mentioned but without access to the thesis myself, and the only evidence being a preprint maybe we should hold off unless someone can check what it says in the thesis or find a refereed source for the observation?Billlion (talk) 08:11, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
