Filtrations and cohomology on graph products

Let $p$ be a prime. We resolve a question posed by Mináč-Rogelstad-Tân. We relate the Zassenhaus and the lower central series of pro-$p$ groups under a torsion-freeness condition. We also study graph products of (pro-$p$) groups under natural assumptions. In particular, we compute their graded Lie algebras associated with the previous filtrations, as well as their cohomology over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Our approach relies on various filtrations of amalgamated products, as studied in Leoni’s PhD thesis. Explicit examples are provided using the Koszul property. As a concrete application, we compute the cohomology over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and the graded Lie algebras associated with the filtrations of graph products of fundamental groups of surfaces. These groups furnish new examples satisfying the torsion-freeness condition, which arises in the question of Mináč-Rogelstad-Tân.

💡 Research Summary

The paper addresses a question raised by Mináč‑Rogelstad‑Tân concerning the relationship between the Zassenhaus filtration and the lower central series of a finitely generated pro‑p group Q under a torsion‑free hypothesis. Assuming that the graded Lie algebra L_{p}^{\mathbb Z_p}(Q) is a free \mathbb Z_p‑module, the author proves that for every positive integer n, written uniquely as n = m p^{\nu_p(n)} with (m,p)=1, the dimensions of the successive quotients satisfy \
