4 Abelian covers A parameter set for abelian covers Abelian covers Let X be a connected, finite-type CW-complex. We may assume X has a single 0-cell, call it x 0. Set G = π1 (X, x 0 ). H = Gab = H 1 (X, Z). Let A be a finitely generated abelian group. Any epimorphism ν : G A gives rise to a connected, regular cover, X ν X, with group of deck transformations A. Conversely, any conn., regular A-cover p : (Y, y 0 ) (X, x 0 ) yields 1 π 1 (Y, y 0 ) p π 1 (X, x 0 ) ν A 1 so that there is an A-equivariant homeomorphism Y = X ν. Thus, the set of conn., regular A-covers of X can be identified with Epi(G, A)/ Aut(A) = Epi(H, A)/ Aut(A). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
5 Abelian covers A parameter set for abelian covers Theorem (S. Yang Zhao 2011) There is a bijection Epi(H, A)/ Aut(A) GL n (Z) P Γ where n = rank H, r = rank A, and P is a parabolic subgroup of GL n (Z). GL n (Z)/ P = Gr n r (Z n ). Γ = Epi(Z n r Tors(H), Tors(A))/ Aut(Tors(A)) is a finite set. GL n (Z) P Γ is the twisted product under the diagonal P-action. This bijection depends on a choice of splitting H = H Tors(H), and a choice of basis for H = H/ Tors(H). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
6 Abelian covers Free abelian covers Simplest situation is when A = Z r. Basic example: the universal cover of the r-torus, Z r R r T r. All conn., regular Z r -covers of X arise as pull-backs of this cover: X ν R r X f T r, where f : π 1 (X) π 1 (T r ) realizes the epimorphism ν : G Z r. (Note: X ν is the homotopy fiber of f ). Let ν : Q r H 1 (X, Q) = Q n. We get: { Z r -covers X ν X } { r-planes P ν := im(ν ) in H 1 (X, Q) }. and so Epi(H, Z r )/ Aut(Z r ) = Gr n r (Z n ) = Gr r (Q n ).

7 Abelian covers The Dwyer Fried sets The Dwyer Fried sets Moving about the parameter space for A-covers, and recording how the Betti numbers of those covers vary leads to: Definition The Dwyer Fried invariants of X are the subsets Ω i A (X) = {[ν] Epi(H, A)/ Aut(A) b j(x ν ) <, for j i}. where, X ν X is the cover corresponding to ν : H A. In particular, when A = Z r, Ω i r (X) = { P ν Gr r (H 1 (X, Q)) b j (X ν ) < for j i }, with the convention that Ω i r (X) = if r > n = b 1 (X). For a fixed r > 0, get filtration Gr r (Q n ) = Ω 0 r (X) Ω 1 r (X) Ω 2 r (X). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
8 Abelian covers The Dwyer Fried sets The Ω-sets are homotopy-type invariants of X: Lemma Suppose X Y. For each r > 0, there is an isomorphism Gr r (H 1 (Y, Q)) = Gr r (H 1 (X, Q)) sending each subset Ω i r (Y ) bijectively onto Ω i r (X). Thus, we may extend the definition of the Ω-sets from spaces to groups, by setting Ω i r (G) = Ω i r (K (G, 1)) Similarly for the sets Ω i A (X). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
9 Abelian covers The Dwyer Fried sets Especially manageable situation: r = n, where n = b 1 (X) > 0. In this case, Gr n (H 1 (X, Q)) = {pt}. This single point corresponds to the maximal free abelian cover, X α X, where α: G G ab = Z n. The sets Ω i n(x) are then given by { {pt} if bj Ω i (X α ) < for j i, n(x) = otherwise. Example Let X = S 1 S k, for some k > 1. Then X α j Z Sk j. Thus, { {pt} for i < k, Ω i n(x) = for i k. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
10 Abelian covers The Dwyer Fried sets Comparison diagram There is an commutative diagram, Ω i A (X) Epi(G, A)/ Aut A = GL n (Z) P Γ Ω i r (X) Gr r (Q n ) If Ω i r (X) =, then Ω i A (X) =. The above is a pull-back diagram if and only if: If X ν is a Z r -cover with finite Betti numbers up to degree i, then any regular Tors(A)-cover of X ν has the same finiteness property.

11 Abelian covers The Dwyer Fried sets Example Let X = S 1 RP 2. Then G = Z Z 2, G ab = Z Z 2, and X α j Z RP 2 j, X ab j Z S 1 j j Z S 2 j. Thus, b 1 (X α ) = 0, yet b 1 (X ab ) =. Hence, Ω 1 1 (X), but Ω1 Z Z 2 (X) =. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
12 Abelian covers The Dwyer Fried sets Remark Finiteness of the Betti numbers of a free abelian cover X ν does not imply finite-generation of the integral homology groups of X ν. E.g., let K be a knot in S 3, with complement X = S 3 \ K, infinite cyclic cover X ab, and Alexander polynomial K Z[t ±1 ]. Then H 1 (X ab, Z) = Z[t ±1 ]/( K ). Hence, H 1 (X ab, Q) = Q d, where d = deg K. Thus, Ω 1 1 (X) = {pt}. But, if K is not monic, H 1 (X ab, Z) need not be finitely generated. Example (Milnor 1968) Let K be the 5 2 knot, with Alex polynomial K = 2t 2 3t + 2. Then H 1 (X ab, Z) = Z[1/2] Z[1/2] is not f.g., though H 1 (X ab, Q) = Q Q.

13 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic varieties Characteristic varieties Consider the group of complex-valued characters of G, Ĝ = Hom(G, C ) = H 1 (X, C ) Let G ab = G/G = H 1 (X, Z) be the abelianization of G. The projection ab: G G ab induces an isomorphism Ĝab Ĝ. The identity component, Ĝ0, is isomorphic to a complex algebraic torus of dimension n = rank G ab. The other connected components are all isomorphic to Ĝ 0 = (C ) n, and are indexed by the finite abelian group Tors(G ab ). Ĝ parametrizes rank 1 local systems on X: ρ: G C L ρ the complex vector space C, viewed as a right module over the group ring ZG via a g = ρ(g)a, for g G and a C. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
14 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic varieties The homology groups of X with coefficients in L ρ are defined as H (X, L ρ ) = H (L ρ ZG C ( X, Z)), where C ( X, Z) is the equivariant chain complex of the universal cover of X. Definition The characteristic varieties of X are the sets V i (X) = {ρ Ĝ H j(x, L ρ ) 0, for some j i} Get filtration {1} = V 0 (X) V 1 (X) Ĝ. Each V i (X) is a Zariski closed subset of the algebraic group Ĝ. The characteristic varieties are homotopy-type invariants: Suppose X X. There is then an isomorphism Ĝ = Ĝ, which restricts to isomorphisms V i (X ) = V i (X). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
15 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic varieties The characteristic varieties may be reinterpreted as the support varieties for the Alexander invariants of X. Let X ab X be the maximal abelian cover. View H (X ab, C) as a module over C[G ab ]. Then (Papadima S. 2010), ( ( V i ( (X) = V ann H j X ab, C ))). Set W i (X) = V i (X) Ĝ0. View H (X α, C) as a module over C[G α ] = Z[t ±1 1,..., t±1 n ], where n = b 1 (G). Then ( ( W i ( (X) = V ann H j X α, C ))). Example Let L = (L 1,..., L n ) be a link in S 3, with complement X = S 3 \ n i=1 L i and Alexander polynomial L = L (t 1,..., t n ). Then j i j i V 1 (X) = {z (C ) n L (z) = 0} {1}.

16 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Computing the Ω-invariants Computing the Ω-invariants Given an epimorphism ν : G Z r, let ˆν : Ẑr Ĝ, ˆν(ρ)(g) = ν(ρ(g)) be the induced monomorphism between character groups. Its image, T ν = ˆν ( Ẑ r ), is a complex algebraic subtorus of Ĝ, isomorphic to (C ) r. Theorem (Dwyer Fried 1987, Papadima S. 2010) Let X be a connected CW-complex with finite k-skeleton, G = π 1 (X). For an epimorphism ν : G Z r, the following are equivalent: 1 The vector space k i=0 H i(x ν, C) is finite-dimensional. 2 The algebraic torus T ν intersects the variety W k (X) in only finitely many points. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
17 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Computing the Ω-invariants Let exp: H 1 (X, C) H 1 (X, C ) be the coefficient homomorphism induced by the homomorphism C C, z e z. Lemma Let ν : G Z r be an epimorphism. Under the universal coefficient isomorphism H 1 (X, C ) = Hom(G, C ), the complex r-torus exp(p ν C) corresponds to T ν = ˆν ( Ẑ r ). Thus, we may reinterpret the Ω-invariants, as follows: Theorem Ω i r (X) = { P Gr r (H 1 (X, Q)) dim ( exp(p C) W i (X) ) = 0 }. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
18 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Computing the Ω-invariants More generally, Theorem (S. Yang Zhao 2011) Ω i A (X) = { [ν] Epi(H, A)/ Aut(A) im(ˆν) V i (X) is finite }. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
19 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Computing the Ω-invariants Corollary Suppose W i (X) is finite. Then Ω i r (X) = Gr r (H 1 (X, Q)), r b 1 (X). Example Let M be a nilmanifold. By (Macinic Papadima 2009): W i (M) = {1}, for all i 0. Hence, Ω i r (M) = Gr r (Q n ), i 0, r n = b 1 (M). Example Let X be the complement of a knot in S m, m 3. Then Ω i 1 (X) = {pt}, i 0. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
20 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Computing the Ω-invariants Corollary Let n = b 1 (X). Suppose W i (X) is infinite, for some i > 0. Then Ω q n(x) =, for all q i. Example Let S g be a Riemann surface of genus g > 1. Then Ω i r (S g ) =, for all i, r 1 Ω n r (S g1 S gn ) =, for all r 1 Example Let Y m = m S 1 be a wedge of m circles, m > 1. Then Ω i r (Y m ) =, for all i, r 1 Ω n r (Y m1 Y mn ) =, for all r 1 Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
21 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic subspace arrangements Tangent cones Let W = V (I) be a Zariski closed subset in (C ) n. Definition The tangent cone at 1 to W : TC 1 (W ) = V (in(i)) The exponential tangent cone at 1 to W : τ 1 (W ) = {z C n exp(λz) W, λ C} Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
22 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic subspace arrangements Both types of tangent cones are homogeneous subvarieties of C n ; are non-empty iff 1 W ; depend only on the analytic germ of W at 1; commute with finite unions. Moreover, τ 1 commutes with (arbitrary) intersections; τ 1 (W ) TC 1 (W ) = if all irred components of W are subtori in general (Dimca Papadima S. 2009) τ 1 (W ) is a finite union of rationally defined linear subspaces of C n. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
23 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic subspace arrangements Characteristic subspace arrangements Set n = b 1 (X), and identify H 1 (X, C) = C n and H 1 (X, C ) 0 = (C ) n. Definition The i-th characteristic arrangement of X, denoted C i (X), is the subspace arrangement in H 1 (X, Q) whose complexified union is the exponential tangent cone to W i (X): τ 1 (W i (X)) = L C i (X) L C. We get a sequence C 0 (X), C 1 (X),... of rational subspace arrangements, all lying in H 1 (X, Q) = Q n. The arrangements C i (X) depend only on the homotopy type of X.

24 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic subspace arrangements Theorem ( Ω i { r (X) P Grr (H 1 (X, Q)) } ) P L {0}. L C i (X) Proof. Fix an r-plane P Gr r (H 1 (X, Q)), and let T = exp(p C). Then: P Ω i r (X) T W i (X) is finite = τ 1 (T W i (X)) = {0} (P C) τ 1 (W i (X)) = {0} P L = {0}, for each L C i (X), Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
25 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic subspace arrangements For straight spaces, the inclusion holds as an equality. If r = 1, the inclusion always holds as an equality. In general, though, the inclusion is strict. E.g., there exist finitely presented groups G for which Ω 1 2 (G) is not open. Example Let G = x 1, x 2, x 3 [x 2 1, x 2], [x 1, x 3 ], x 1 [x 2, x 3 ]x 1 1 [x 2, x 3 ]. Then G ab = Z 3, and V 1 (G) = {1} { t (C ) 3 t 1 = 1 }. Let T = (C ) 2 be an algebraic 2-torus in (C ) 3. Then { T V 1 {1} if T = {t 1 = 1} (G) = C otherwise Thus, Ω 1 2 (G) consists of a single point in Gr 2(H 1 (G, Q)) = QP 2, and so it s not open.

26 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic subspace arrangements Example Then Let C 1 be a curve of genus 2 with an elliptic involution σ 1. Let C 2 be a curve of genus 3 with a free involution σ 2. Σ 1 = C 1 /σ 1 is a curve of genus 1. Σ 2 = C 2 /σ 2 is a curve of genus 2. We let Z 2 act freely on the product C 1 C 2 via the involution σ 1 σ 2. The quotient space, M = (C 1 C 2 )/Z 2, is a smooth, minimal, complex projective surface of general type with p g (M) = q(m) = 3, and K 2 M = 8. The projection pr 2 : C 1 C 2 C 2 induces a smooth fibration, C 1 M Σ 2. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
27 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Characteristic subspace arrangements Example (Continued) Let π = π 1 (M). Then π ab = Z 6, π = (C ) 6, and V 1 (π) = {t t 1 = t 2 = 1} {t 4 = t 5 = t 6 = 1, t 3 = 1}. It follows that Ω 1 2 (π) consists of a single point in Gr 2(Q 6 ), corresponding to the plane spanned by the vectors e 1 and e 2. In particular, Ω 1 2 (π) is not open.

28 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Special Schubert varieties Special Schubert varieties Let V be a homogeneous variety in k n. The set σ r (V ) = { P Gr r (k n ) P V {0} } is a Zariski closed subset of Gr r (k n ), called the variety of incident r-planes to V. When V is a a linear subspace L k n, the variety σ r (L) is called the special Schubert variety defined by L. If L has codimension d in k n, then σ r (L) has codimension d r + 1 in Gr r (k n ). Example The Grassmannian Gr 2 (k 4 ) is the hypersurface in P(k 6 ) with equation p 12 p 34 p 13 p 24 + p 23 p 14 = 0. Let L be a plane in k 4, represented as the row space of a 2 4 matrix. Then σ 2 (L) is the 3-fold in Gr 2 (k 4 ) cut out by the hyperplane p 12 L 34 p 13 L 24 p 23 L 14 + p 14 L 23 p 24 L 13 + p 34 L 12 = 0.

29 Characteristic arrangements and Schubert varieties Special Schubert varieties Theorem Ω i ( r (X) Gr r H 1 (X, Q) ) \ ( σ r (L)). L C i (X) Thus, each set Ω i r (X) is contained in the complement of a Zariski closed subset of Gr r (H 1 (X, Q)): the union of the special Schubert varieties corresponding to the subspaces comprising C i (X). Corollary Suppose C i (X) contains a subspace of codimension d. Then Ω i r (X) =, for all r d + 1. Corollary Let X α be the maximal free abelian cover of X. If τ 1 (W 1 (X)) {0}, then b 1 (X α ) =.

30 Resonance varieties and straight spaces The Aomoto complex The Aomoto complex Consider the cohomology algebra A = H (X, C), with product operation given by the cup product of cohomology classes. For each a A 1, we have a 2 = 0, by graded-commutativity of the cup product. Definition The Aomoto complex of A (with respect to a A 1 ) is the cochain complex of finite-dimensional, complex vector spaces, (A, a): A 0 a A 1 a A 2 a a A k, with differentials given by left-multiplication by a. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
31 Resonance varieties and straight spaces The Aomoto complex Alternative interpretation: Pick a basis {e 1,..., e n } for A 1 = H 1 (X, C), and let {x 1,..., x n } be the Kronecker dual basis for A 1 = H 1 (X, C). Identify Sym(A 1 ) with S = C[x 1,..., x n ]. Definition The universal Aomoto complex of A is the cochain complex of free S-modules, : A i C S d i A i+1 C S d i+1 A i+2 C S, where the differentials are defined by d i (u 1) = n j=1 e ju x j for u A i, and then extended by S-linearity. Lemma The evaluation of the universal Aomoto complex at an element a A 1 coincides with the Aomoto complex (A, a). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
32 Resonance varieties and straight spaces The Aomoto complex Let X be a connected, finite-type CW-complex. The CW-structure on X is minimal if the number of i-cells of X equals the Betti number b i (X), for every i 0. Equivalently, all boundary maps in C (X, Z) are zero. Theorem (Papadima S. 2010) If X is a minimal CW-complex, the linearization of the cochain complex C (X ab, C) coincides with the universal Aomoto complex of H (X, C). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
33 Resonance varieties and straight spaces Resonance varieties Resonance varieties Definition The resonance varieties of X are the sets R i (X) = {a A 1 H j (A, a) 0, for some j i}, defined for all integers 0 i k. Get filtration {0} = R 0 (X) R 1 (X) R k (X) H 1 (X, C) = C n. Each R i (X) is a homogeneous algebraic subvariety of C n. These varieties are homotopy-type invariants of X: If X Y, there is an isomorphism H 1 (Y, C) = H 1 (X, C) which restricts to isomorphisms R i (Y ) = R i (X), for all i 0. (Libgober 2002) TC 1 (W i (X)) R i (X). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
34 Resonance varieties and straight spaces Straight spaces Straight spaces Let X be a connected CW-complex with finite k-skeleton. Definition We say X is k-straight if the following conditions hold, for each i k: 1 All positive-dimensional components of W i (X) are algebraic subtori. 2 TC 1 (W i (X)) = R i (X). If X is k-straight for all k 1, we say X is a straight space. The k-straightness property depends only on the homotopy type of a space. Hence, we may declare a group G to be k-straight if there is a K (G, 1) which is k-straight; in particular, G must be of type F k. X is 1-straight if and only if π 1 (X) is 1-straight. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
35 Resonance varieties and straight spaces Straight spaces Example Let f Z[t] with f (1) = 0. Then X f = (S 1 S 2 ) f e 3 is minimal. W 1 (X f ) = {1}, W 2 (X f ) = V (f ): finite subsets of H 1 (X, C ) = C. R 1 (X f ) = {0}, and R 2 (X f ) = Therefore, X f is always 1-straight, but { {0}, if f (1) 0, C, otherwise. X f is 2-straight f (1) 0. Proposition For each k 2, there is a minimal CW-complex which has the integral homology of S 1 S k and which is (k 1)-straight, but not k-straight. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
36 Resonance varieties and straight spaces Straight spaces Alternate description of straightness: Proposition The space X is k-straight if and only if the following equalities hold, for all i k: ( ) W i (X) = exp(l C) Z i R i (X) = L C i (X) L C i (X) L C for some finite (algebraic) subsets Z i H 1 (X, C ) 0. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
37 Resonance varieties and straight spaces Straight spaces Corollary Let X be a k-straight space. Then, for all i k, 1 τ 1 (W i (X)) = TC 1 (W i (X)) = R i (X). 2 R i (X, Q) = L C i (X) L. In particular, the resonance varieties R i (X) are unions of rationally defined subspaces. Example Let G be the group with generators x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4 and relators r 1 = [x 1, x 2 ], r 2 = [x 1, x 4 ][x 2 2, x 3], r 3 = [x 1 1, x 3][x 2, x 4 ]. Then R 1 (G) = {z C 4 z 2 1 2z2 2 = 0}, which splits into two linear subspaces defined over R, but not over Q. Thus, G is not 1-straight.

38 Resonance varieties and straight spaces Ω-invariants of straight spaces Ω-invariants of straight spaces Theorem Suppose X is k-straight. Then, for all i k and r 1, Ω i r (X) = Gr r (H 1 (X, Q)) \ σ r (R i (X, Q)). In particular, if all components of R i (X) have the same codimension r, then Ω i r (X) is the complement of the Chow divisor of R i (X, Q). Corollary Let X be k-straight space, with b 1 (X) = n. Then each set Ω i r (X) is the complement of a finite union of special Schubert varieties in Gr r (Q n ). In particular, Ω i r (X) is a Zariski open set in Gr r (Q n ). Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
39 Resonance varieties and straight spaces Ω-invariants of straight spaces Example Let L = (L 1, L 2 ) be a 2-component link in S 3, with lk(l 1, L 2 ) = 1, and Alexander polynomial L (t 1, t 2 ) = t 1 + t Let X be the complement of L. Then W 1 (X) (C ) 2 is given by W 1 (X) = {1} {t t 1 = e πi/3 } {t t 1 = e πi/3 } Hence, X is not 1-straight. Since W 1 (X) is infinite, we have Ω 1 2 (X) =. On the other hand, X is non-trivial, and so R 1 (X, Q) = {0}. Hence, σ 2 (R 1 (X, Q)) = {pt}. Alex Suciu (Northeastern University) Betti numbers of abelian covers U. Wisconsin, May / 39
