Finite generation conjecture for diffeomorphism groups of closed manifolds
Finite generation conjecture for diffeomorphism groups of closed manifolds
Let be a smooth closed manifold. Write for its diffeomorphism group, for its classifying space, and and for homotopy and integral homology groups. Finite generation conjecture. If is finite and , then
should be finitely generated for all . No counterexample is currently known; the conjecture concerns finiteness phenomena for diffeomorphism groups and their classifying spaces outside dimension four, under a finite fundamental-group hypothesis.
