From Lang's Conjecture to finiteness properties of Torelli groups
[ Abstract ]
First we recall one of Lang's conjectures in diophantine geometry
on the interplay between subvarieties and translated subgroups in a
commutative algebraic group
(proved by M. Laurent in the case of affine tori in 1984).
Then we present the technique of resonance and characteristic varieties,
a powerful tool in the study of fundamental groups of algebraic varieties.
Finally, using the two ingredients above, we show that the Torelli
groups $T_g$
have some surprising finiteness properties for $g>3$.
In particular, we show that for any subgroup $N$ in $T_g$ containing
the Johnson kernel $K_g$, the complex vector space $N_{ab} \\otimes C$
is finite dimensional.
All the details are available in our joint preprint with S. Papadima
arXiv:1002.0673.
