Abstract: We consider two families of spaces, $X$ : the closed orientable Riemann surfaces of genus $g>0$ and the classifying spaces of right-angled Artin groups. In both cases we compare the depth of the fundamental group with the depth of an associated Lie algebra, $L$, that can be determined by the minimal Sullivan algebra. For these spaces we prove that ${\displaystyle }$ mbox{depth} ,mathbb Q[pi_1(X)] = mbox{depth}, {L},${\displaystyle }$ and give precise formulas for the depth.

Review text

The depth of a connected space \(X\) is a new invariant, constructed via its minimal Sullivan model \(\left(\Lambda V,d\right)\). In particular, \[ \text{depth}\left(\Lambda V,d\right):=\text{ least }p \text{ (or }\infty\text{) such that Ext}_{\left(\Lambda V,d_{1}\right)}^{p}\left( \mathbb{Q},\left( \Lambda V,d_{1}\right) \right) \neq0. \] Here, we denote by \(d_{1}\) the quadratic part of the differential \(d\). In the present paper, it is shown that the three notions of the invariant depth, defined in three distinct categories (minimal Sullivan algebras, augmented graded algebras and graded Lie algebras) all coincide in the case of a compact oriented Riemann surface and the classifying space of a right-angled Artin group. In particular, if \(X\) denotes one these spaces, the authors give precise formulas for the depth and show that \[\mathbb{Q}\left[ \pi_{1}\left( X\right) \right] =\text{ depth }L \] where \(L\) denotes the associated weighted Lie algebra of \(X\).
