OpenAI reports a solution to Howie’s nonsingular-systems conjecture
- Mathematics
For any group G and any finite system of m equations in n unknowns, with 1≤m≤n, if the exponent-sum matrix has row rank m over the rationals, then G embeds in the group formed by adjoining the unknowns and imposing the equations. Thus the system has a simultaneous solution in an overgroup.
