Homological Conjectures in Commutative Algebra

Algebra

Homological conjectures have been a focus of research activity in commutative algebra since the early 1960s. They concern a number of interrelated conjectures relating various homological properties of a commutative ring to its internal ring structure, particularly its Krull dimension and depth.

Facts
Partially Attested
Progress Toward Resolution
The direct summand conjecture was proven by Yves Andre using a theory of perfectoid spaces. 1
Some of the interrelated conjectures have been proven (such as the direct summand conjecture, by Andre using perfectoid spaces), while others in the group remain open; the group as a whole is not fully resolved.
Statement
