Abstract

For a prime number \ell we introduce and study oriented right-angled Artin pro-\ell groups GΓ,λG_{\Gamma,\lambda}(oriented pro-\ell RAAGs for short) associated to a finite oriented graph Γ\Gamma and a continuous group homomorphism λ ⁣:ZZ×\lambda\colon\mathbb Z_\ell\to\mathbb Z_\ell^\times. We show that an oriented pro-\ell RAAG GΓ,λG_{\Gamma,\lambda} is a Bloch-Kato pro-\ell group if, and only if, (GΓ,λ,θΓ,λ)(G_{\Gamma,\lambda},\theta_{\Gamma,\lambda}) is an oriented pro-\ell group of elementary type generalizing a recent result of I. Snopche and P. Zalesskii. Here θΓ,λ ⁣:GΓ,λZp×\theta_{\Gamma,\lambda}\colon G_{\Gamma,\lambda}\to\mathbb Z_p^\times denotes the canonical \ell-orientation on GΓ,λG_{\Gamma,\lambda}. We invest some effort in order to show that oriented right-angled Artin pro-\ell groups share many properties with right-angled Artin pro-\ell-groups or even discrete RAAG's, e.g., if Γ\Gamma is a specially oriented chordal graph, then GΓ,λG_{\Gamma,\lambda} is coherent, generalizing a result of C. Droms. Moreover, in this case (GΓ,λ,θΓ,λ)(G_{\Gamma,\lambda},\theta_{\Gamma,\lambda}) has the Positselski-Bogomolov property generalizing a result of H. Servatius, C. Droms and B. Servatius for discrete RAAG's. If Γ\Gamma is a specially oriented chordal graph and Im(λ)1+4Z2{\rm Im}(\lambda)\subseteq 1+4\mathbb Z_2 in case that =2\ell=2, then H(GΓ,λ,F)Λ(Γ¨op){\rm H}^\bullet(G_{\Gamma,\lambda},\mathbb F_\ell) \simeq \Lambda^\bullet(\ddot{\Gamma}^{\rm op}) generalizing a well known result of M. Salvetti.

The differences between the 1st version (Apr'23) and the 2nd are: correction of a couple of minor misprints, dedication to the memory of Avinoam Mann
