Exotic relation modules and homotopy types for certain 1–relator groups

Jens Harlander and Jacqueline A Jensen

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 6 (2006) 2163–2173

arXiv: 0906.5491

Abstract

Using stably free non-free relation modules we construct an infinite collection of 2–dimensional homotopy types, each of Euler-characteristic one and with trefoil fundamental group. This provides an affirmative answer to a question asked by Berridge and Dunwoody [J. London Math. Soc. 19 (1979) 433–436]. We also give new examples of exotic relation modules. We show that the relation module associated with the generating set {x,y4} for the Baumslag–Solitar group x,y|xy2x1 = y3 is stably free non-free of rank one.
