Claim: literature report

Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.

One finite complex algebra supports modules with finite projective dimension at least $2m-2$ for arbitrarily large integers $m$. Consequently its little finitistic dimension is infinite, giving the requested counterexample within Artin algebras. This is presented as a claimed negative answer.

Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

Finiteness of the little finitistic dimension

OpenAI's claim

OpenAI presents a counterexample in the selected manuscript. A single finite-dimensional complex algebra is claimed to have finite modules whose finite projective dimensions are unbounded.

Mathematical statement of the claimed result

Result 1.
A finite-dimensional unital complex algebra $A$ is claimed to admit, for every $m\ge1$, a left module $N_m$, finite-dimensional over $\mathbb C$, satisfying \[ 2m-2\le\operatorname{pd}_AN_m<\infty. \] Thus its little finitistic dimension, the supremum of finite projective dimensions of finite-dimensional modules, is infinite. A second complex algebra $\Lambda$ satisfies \[ \operatorname{findim}\Lambda=\operatorname{Findim}\Lambda=\infty, \qquad \operatorname{findim}(\Lambda^{\mathrm{op}}) =\operatorname{Findim}(\Lambda^{\mathrm{op}})=0, \] where each displayed dimension is for left modules and the capitalized version allows all modules. The corollary also distinguishes generation of the unbounded derived categories by injectives on the two sides.

Outline of the argument

One fixed finitely presented algebra encodes arbitrarily long terminating processes through a twisted derived tensor functor. The subsequent finite-dimensional realization converts these tensor histories into ordinary projective resolutions, retaining unbounded termination lengths without changing the final algebra.

Formal verification

For family 198, the Lean scope includes unbounded finite projective dimensions over one complex algebra and a separate extreme left/right finitistic and injective-generation asymmetry. The listed Comparator files are FinitisticAsymmetry.lean, LittleFinitistic.lean. Named declarations include OAI.LittleFinitistic.Main.exists_counterexample, OAI.LittleFinitistic.extreme_left_right_asymmetry. This site has not executed the Lean code. The scope descriptions do not certify the remaining manuscript arguments.

Status caveat

OpenAI attributes these manuscripts to work by an internal model. Its release cautions that arguments without formalization can contain mistakes. This catalogue has not independently checked the proofs; the labels report the mathematical claims attributed to OpenAI.
