An Eight-Term Counterexample to the Special Image Conjecture in Three Pairs
Authors/Creators
Description
An explicit eight-term counterexample to the Special Image Conjecture in three contraction pairs. For f=tau^3(t+z)(w t^3-v y(t+y)^2) and g=z, the paper proves E(f^m)=0 and [t]E(g f^m)=(3m+1)!m! for every m>=1. Thus the minimum possible failure dimension is two or three.
