Jacobson's Conjecture

Algebra

In abstract algebra, Jacobson's conjecture is an open problem in ring theory concerning the intersection of powers of the Jacobson radical of a Noetherian ring.

Facts
Statement
In a right-and-left Noetherian ring, the intersection of all nonnegative powers of the Jacobson radical J is {0}. In other words, the only element of a Noetherian ring in all powers of J is 0. 1
Proposed Year
1956 1
Progress Toward Resolution
Verified only for particular types of Noetherian rings: commutative Noetherian rings (a consequence of the Krull intersection theorem), fully bounded Noetherian rings, Noetherian rings with Krull dimension 1, and Noetherian rings satisfying the second layer condition. 1

    proposed in 1956 by Nathan Jacobson
  • Statement section
    The only element of a Noetherian ring in all powers of J is 0.
  • Partial results section
    Commutative Noetherian rings all satisfy Jacobson's conjecture. This is a consequence of the Krull intersection theorem.
