A spectral sequence for Dehn fillings

Group Theory 2021-11-10 v3

Abstract

We study how the cohomology of a type FF_\infty relatively hyperbolic group pair (G,P)(G,\mathcal{P}) changes under Dehn fillings (i.e. quotients of group pairs). For sufficiently long Dehn fillings where the quotient pair (Gˉ,Pˉ)(\bar{G},\bar{\mathcal{P}}) is of type FF_\infty, we show that there is a spectral sequence relating the cohomology groups Hi(G,P;ZG)H^i(G,\mathcal{P};\mathbb{Z} G) and Hi(Gˉ,Pˉ;ZGˉ)H^i\left(\bar{G},\bar{\mathcal{P}};\mathbb{Z}\bar{G}\right). As a consequence, we show that essential cohomological dimension does not increase under these Dehn fillings.
