On the hit problem for the polynomial algebra and the algebraic transfer

Algebraic Topology 2025-09-19 v4

Abstract

This paper investigates Singer's conjecture by examining the cohit module F2APh\mathbb F_2\otimes_{\mathcal A}P^{\otimes h} for specific degrees and values of hh. Utilizing hit problem techniques, we extend previous work by Mothebe et al. and establish key dimensional results. Notably, for h6h\geq 6, we prove that the cohit module's dimension in certain degrees matches the order of a specific factor group. Our contributions include demonstrating that certain non-zero elements do not belong to the image of the Singer algebraic transfer. All results were verified using the OSCAR computer algebra system.
