Groups with the same cohomology as thier pro-p completions.

Abstract: This talk will discuss some examples of groups that possess the same cohomology as their pro-p completions for every prime p. In particular, we will look at right-angled Artin groups and free products of two torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent groups with cyclic amalgam.


We meet weekly on Friday afternoons at Penn State Altoona (and sometimes at Penn State University Park). If you are interested in giving a talk in our seminar please contact one of the coordinators for the Spring 2009 semester: Wojtek Dorabiala and Aissa Wade.
