A non-commutative differential module approach to Alexander modules

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2126293



Abstract: The theory of R. Crowell on derived modules is approached within the theory of non-commutative differential modules. We also seek analogies to the theory of cotangent complex from differentials in the commutative ring setting. Finally we give examples motivated from the theory of Galois coverings of curves.


The authors consider a continuous homomorphism \(\psi\) between two profinite groups and define a non-commutative bimodule of differentials corresponding to \(\psi\). It is proved that such a bimodule coincides with the Alexander module. The study is motivated by the Galois coverings of the projective line ramified over a finite set of points.
