The fundamental group of a locally finite graph with ends-a hyperfinite approach

Isaac Goldbring, Alessandro Sisto (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The end compactification |Γ| of a locally finite graph Γis the union of the graph and its ends, endowed with a suitable topology. We show that π₁(|Γ|) embeds into a nonstandard free group with hyperfinitely many generators, i.e. an ultraproduct of finitely generated free groups, and that the embedding we construct factors through an embedding into an inverse limit of free groups. We also show how to recover the standard description of π₁(|Γ|) given by Diestel and Sprüssel (2011). Finally, we give...

The Mumford conjecture

Geoffrey Powell (2004/2005)

Séminaire Bourbaki

The Mumford Conjecture asserts that the rational cohomology of the stable moduli space of Riemann surfaces is a polynomial algebra on the Mumford-Morita-Miller characteristic classes; this can be reformulated in terms of the classifying space B Γ derived from the mapping class groups. The conjecture admits a topological generalization, inspired by Tillmann’s theorem that B Γ admits an infinite loop space structure after applying Quillen’s plus construction. The text presents the proof by Madsen and...

Three-manifolds and Kähler groups

D. Kotschick (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We give a simple proof of a result originally due to Dimca and Suciu: a group that is both Kähler and the fundamental group of a closed three-manifold is finite. We also prove that a group that is both the fundamental group of a closed three-manifold and of a non-Kähler compact complex surface is or 2 .

Un théorème du type de Lefschetz

Denis Cheniot (1975)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Le complémentaire d’un ensemble algébrique dans un espace projectif complexe de dimension n et la trace de ce complémentaire sur un hyperplan assez général ont mêmes groupes d’homotopie jusqu’à l’ordre n - 2 . Cela généralise un théorème de H. Hamm et Lê Dũng Tráng sur le complémentaire d’une hypersurface projective.

Universal covering spaces and fundamental groups in algebraic geometry as schemes

Ravi Vakil, Kirsten Wickelgren (2011)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In topology, the notions of the fundamental group and the universal cover are closely intertwined. By importing usual notions from topology into the algebraic and arithmetic setting, we construct a fundamental group family from a universal cover, both of which are schemes. A geometric fiber of the fundamental group family (as a topological group) is canonically the étale fundamental group. The constructions apply to all connected quasicompact quasiseparated schemes. With different methods and hypotheses,...
