K(π, 1) conjecture for Artin groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to put together a large amount of results on the K(π, 1) conjecture for Artin groups, and to make them accessible to non-experts. Firstly, this is a survey, containing basic definitions, the main results, examples and an historical overview of the subject. But, it is also a reference text on the topic that contains proofs of a large part of the results on this question. Some proofs as well as few results are new. Furthermore, the text, being addressed to non-experts, is as self-contained as possible. AMS Subject Classification. Primary: 20F36. Secondary: 32S22, 55P20.

Modularity of Solvable Artin Representations of Go(4)-type
Let F be a number field, and (ρ, V ) a continuous, n-dimensional representation of the absolute Galois group Gal(F/F ) on a finite-dimensional C-vector space V . Denote by L(s, ρ) the associated L-function, which is known to be meromorphic with a functional equation. Artin’s conjecture predicts that L(s, ρ) is holomorphic everywhere except possibly at s = 1, where its order of pole is the multi...

We study the curvature of metric spaces and branched covers of Riemannian manifolds, with applications in topology and algebraic geometry. Here curvature bounds are expressed in terms of the CAT(χ) inequality. We prove a general CAT(χ) extension theorem, giving sufficient conditions on and near the boundary of a locally CAT(χ) metric space for the completion to be CAT(χ). We use this to prove t...

Conjecture 1 (Langlands). To each reductive group G over a number field K, each automorphic (complex) representation π of G, and each finite dimensional representation r of the (complex) group G, there is defined an automorphic L-function L(s, π, r), which enjoys an analytic continuation and functional equation generalizing the Riemann zeta function πΓ(s/2)ζ(s) (or Artin’s L-function L(s, σ), w...
متن کاملThe Action Dimension of Artin Groups
The action dimension of a discrete group G is the minimum dimension of a contractible manifold, which admits a proper G-action. In this dissertation, we study the action dimension of general Artin groups. The main result is that the action dimension of an Artin group with the nerve L of dimension n for n 6= 2 is less than or equal to (2n+1) if the Artin group satisfies the K(π, 1)-Conjecture an...

We show that if the L-function of an irreducible 2-dimensional complex Galois representation over Q is not automorphic then it has infinitely many poles. In particular, the Artin conjecture for a single representation implies the corresponding strong Artin conjecture. Introduction Let ρ : Gal(Q/Q) → GLn(C) be an irreducible continuous representation of the absolute Galois group of Q. Brauer [2]...
