Cohomological dimension and boundary cohomology conjecture for relatively hyperbolic pairs

Let GG be torsion-free and hyperbolic relative to a collection H\mathcal{H}. Let cd(G,H)\operatorname{cd}(G,\mathcal{H}) be the cohomological dimension of the pair (G,H)(G,\mathcal{H}), and let dim\dim denote topological dimension. Let Hq(G,H;ZG)H^q(G,\mathcal{H};\mathbb{Z}G) denote the relative cohomology of the pair with coefficients in the group ring, and let Hˇq1((G,H))\check{H}^{q-1}(\partial(G,\mathcal{H})) denote the corresponding Čech cohomology of the Bowditch boundary. Cohomological dimension and boundary cohomology conjecture. One has

cd(G,H)=dim(G,H)+1,\operatorname{cd}(G,\mathcal{H})=\dim \partial(G,\mathcal{H})+1,

and, more generally,

Hq(G,H;ZG)=Hˇq1((G,H))H^q(G,\mathcal{H};\mathbb{Z}G)=\check{H}^{q-1}(\partial(G,\mathcal{H}))

for all integers qq. The assertion is presented as conjectural in the source; it predicts that the cohomological dimension and relative cohomology of the pair are determined by the topology of its Bowditch boundary.
