In the process, we give an explicit formula for the cup-product in the cohomology of a finite 2-complex, and an algorithm for computing the corresponding holonomy Lie algebra, using a Magnus expansion method. We illustrate our approach with examples drawn from a variety of group-theoretic and topological contexts, such as link groups, one-relator groups, and fundamental groups of Seifert fibered manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-01-26T16:44:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F40", "57M05", "17B70", "20F14", "20J05" ], "keywords": [ "lower central series", "cup products", "corresponding holonomy lie algebra", "magnus expansion method", "explicit formula" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
