The weak Virtual Surjections conjecture

About 15 years old · traced to

Let k≥2k\geq 2, let Γ1,…,Γn\Gamma_1,\dots,\Gamma_n be groups of type FP⁡k\operatorname{FP}_k, and let P≤Γ1×⋯×ΓnP\leq\Gamma_1\times\dots\times\Gamma_n be a subgroup of their direct product. Say that PP virtually surjects to kk-tuples of factors if its projection to every product of kk distinct factors has finite index. The weak Virtual Surjections conjecture. If PP virtually surjects to kk-tuples of factors, then PP is of type wFP⁡k\operatorname{wFP}_k, meaning that Hj(P,Z)H_j(P,\mathbb Z) is finitely generated for every j≤kj\leq k. This is proved in the paper as a consequence of the weak nn-(n+1)(n+1)-(n+2)(n+2) theorem.
