On adjoint homological Selmer modules for SL$_2$-representations of knot groups

Geometric Topology 2022-09-28 v3

Abstract

We introduce the adjoint homological Selmer module for an SL2_2-representation of a knot group, which may be seen as a knot theoretic analogue of the dual adjoint Selmer module for a Galois representation. We then show finitely generated torsion-ness of our adjoint Selmer module, which are widely known as conjectures in number theory, and give some concrete examples.
