Oriented right-angled Artin pro-\ell groups and maximal pro-\ell Galois groups

Abstract: For a prime number

e l l

we introduce and study oriented right-angled Artin pro-

e l l

groups

G_{G a m m a, l a m b d a}

(oriented pro-

e l l

RAAGs for short) associated to a finite oriented graph

G a m m a

and a continuous group homomorphism

l a m b d a c o l o n m a t h b b Z_{e} l l o m a t h b b Z_{e} l l^{i} m e s

. We show that an oriented pro-

e l l

RAAG

G_{G a m m a, l a m b d a}

is a Bloch-Kato pro-

e l l

group if, and only if,

(G_{G a m m a, l a m b d a}, h e t a_{G a m m a, l a m b d a})

is an oriented pro-

e l l

group of elementary type generalizing a recent result of I. Snopche and P. Zalesskii. Here

h e t a_{G a m m a, l a m b d a} c o l o n G_{G a m m a, l a m b d a} o m a t h b b Z_{p}^{i} m e s

denotes the canonical

e l l

-orientation on

G_{G a m m a, l a m b d a}

. We invest some effort in order to show that oriented right-angled Artin pro-

e l l

groups share many properties with right-angled Artin pro-

e l l

-groups or even discrete RAAG's, e.g., if

G a m m a

is a specially oriented chordal graph, then

G_{G a m m a, l a m b d a}

is coherent, generalizing a result of C. Droms. Moreover, in this case

(G_{G a m m a, l a m b d a}, h e t a_{G a m m a, l a m b d a})

has the Positselski-Bogomolov property generalizing a result of H. Servatius, C. Droms and B. Servatius for discrete RAAG's. If

G a m m a

is a specially oriented chordal graph and

m I m (l a m b d a) s u b s e t e q 1 + 4 m a t h b b Z_{2}

in case that

e l l = 2

, then

generalizing a well known result of M. Salvetti.
