Carlson–Toledo conjecture on virtually positive second Betti number of Kähler groups
Carlson–Toledo conjecture on virtually positive second Betti number of Kähler groups
Let be an infinite Kähler group, meaning the fundamental group of a smooth complex Kähler manifold. Carlson–Toledo conjecture. There exists a finite-index subgroup of such that its second Betti number is positive. This conjecture predicts a virtual cohomological property for infinite Kähler groups; the source presents it as a conjecture and gives no resolution status.
