The Fundamental Group of Random 2-complexes

چکیده
In this article we find the threshold for simple connectivity of the random 2dimensional simplicial complexes Y (n, p) introduced by Linial and Meshulam [10] to be roughly p = n−1/2. One motivation for this is continuing the thread of probabilistic topology initiated by Linial and Meshulam [10], and even earlier by Erdős and Rényi [3]. (Other recent work concerning the topology of random simplicial complexes can be found in [8, 9, 11, 14].) Another motivation for this study is the connection to the random groups studied in geometric group theory [12]. In face we must use geometric group theory techniques to show that in the sparse regime the fundamental group is hyperbolic on the way to showing that it is nontrivial; in particular, we apply Gromov’s localto-global principle for linear isoperimetric inequalities. Erdős and Rényi initiated the now vast subject of random graphs with their edge-independent model G(n, p) [3].

SOLVABILITY OF FREE PRODUCTS, CAYLEY GRAPHS AND COMPLEXES
In this paper, we verify the solvability of free product of finite cyclic groups with topological methods. We use Cayley graphs and Everitt methods to construct suitable 2-complexes corresponding to the presentations of groups and their commutator subgroups. In particular, using these methods, we prove that the commutator subgroup of $mathbb{Z}_{m}*mathbb{Z}_{n}$ is free of rank $(m-1)(n-1)$ fo...

متن کاملComplexes of $C$-projective modules
Inspired by a recent work of Buchweitz and Flenner, we show that, for a semidualizing bimodule $C$, $C$--perfect complexes have the ability to detect when a ring is strongly regular.It is shown that there exists a class of modules which admit minimal resolutions of $C$--projective modules.
متن کاملThe asphericity of random 2-dimensional complexes
We study random 2-dimensional complexes in the Linial Meshulam model and prove that for the probability parameter satisfying p ≪ n a random 2-complex Y contains several pairwise disjoint tetrahedra such that the 2-complex Z obtained by removing any face from each of these tetrahedra is aspherical. Moreover, we prove that the obtained complex Z satisfies the Whitehead conjecture, i.e. any subcom...
