Free crossed resolutions for graph products of groups

Algebraic Topology 2007-05-23 v3 Group Theory

Abstract

The category of crossed complexes gives an algebraic model of the category of CWCW-complexes and cellular maps. We explain basic results on crossed complexes which allow the computation of free crossed resolutions of graph products of groups, given free crossed resolutions of the individual groups.
