Kadison-Ringrose Cohomology Conjecture


The Kadison-Ringrose cohomology conjecture asserts the vanishing of positive-degree bounded Hochschild cohomology of a von Neumann algebra with coefficients in itself. For a complex von Neumann algebra M, the degree-k cochains are bounded complex multilinear maps M^k->M. Vanishing means that every bounded cocycle has a bounded primitive, not merely that it is a limit of coboundaries.
