Abstract
Let Delta be a triangulation of a topological n ball embedded in R-n. Rose has conjectured that if the module C-r(<(<Delta>)over cap>) of piecewise po lynomial functions of smoothness r on <(<Delta>)over cap> is free, then so is Cr-1(<(<Delta>)over cap>). For n = 2, we prove the conjecture, and we sh ow that it is false in all higher dimensions. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevie r Science B.V.
