Earlier work on this topic has revealed that higher finiteness properties play a crucial role in determining which groups appear as subgroups of direct products of free groups or limit groups. Here, we seek to relate the finiteness properties of a subgroup to the way it is embedded in the ambient product. To this end we formulate a conjecture on finiteness properties of fibre products of groups. We present different approaches to this conjecture, proving a general result on finite generation of homology groups of fibre products and, for certain special cases, results on the stronger finiteness properties F_n and FP_n.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-05-17T14:16:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F65", "20J05", "20E22", "20E07" ], "keywords": [ "subdirect products", "conjecture", "fibre products", "higher finiteness properties play", "stronger finiteness properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1107.2590K" } } }
