Proalgebraic crossed modules of quasirational presentations
Abstract
We introduce the concept of quasirational relation modules for discrete and pro- presentations of discrete and pro- groups and show that aspherical presentations and their subpresentations are quasirational. In the pro--case quasirationality of pro--groups with a single defining relation holds. For every quasirational (pro-)relation module we construct the so called -adic rationalization, which is a pro-fd-module . We provide the isomorphisms and , where and stands for continuous prounipotent completions and corresponding prounipotent presentations correspondingly. We show how embeds into a sequence of abelian prounipotent groups. This sequence arises naturally from a certain prounipotent crossed module, the latter bring concrete examples of proalgebraic homotopy types. The old-standing open problem of Serre, slightly corrected by Gildenhuys, in its modern form states that pro--groups with a single defining relation are aspherical. Our results give a positive feedback to the question of Serre.
