Higher dimensional algebraic fiberings for pro-p groups

Abstract: We prove some conditions for higher dimensional algebraic fibering of pro-

p

group extensions and we establish corollaries about incoherence of pro-

p

groups. In particular, if

G = K t i m e s G a m m a

is a pro-

p

group,

G a m m a

a finitely generated free pro-

p

group with

d (G a m m a) g e q 2

,

K

a finitely presented pro-

p

group with

N

a normal pro-

p

subgroup of

K

such that

K / N s i m e q m a t h b b Z_{p}

and

N

not finitely generated as a pro-

p

group, then

G

is incoherent (in the category of pro-

p

groups). Furthermore we show that if

K

is a free pro-

p

group with

d (K) = 2

then either

A u t_{0} (K)

is incoherent (in the category of pro-

p

groups) or there is a finitely presented pro-

p

group, without non-procyclic free pro-

p

subgroups, that has a metabelian pro-

p

quotient that is not finitely presented i.e. a pro-

p

version of a result of Bieri-Strebel does not hold.
