Oct 18, 2019 at 8:29 comment added YCor Note: the result is trivial for $n=1$, since $FP_1(Q)$ means finitely generated. It can also be checked to be true for $n=2$, using that a group is $FP_2(Q)$ iff is isomorphic to $G/N$ for some finitely presented group group $G$ and some normal subgroup $N$ such that $N/[N,N]$ is torsion.

Oct 18, 2019 at 7:43 comment added J.L. @tj_ Sorry, I do not understand your counterexample. $C\times C$ is finitely presentable, that is, of type $F_{2}$, so in particular it is of type $FP_{2}(\mathbb{Q})$, and so it is of type $FP_{1}(\mathbb{Q})$. I am not saying that my group $T$ can't be of type $FP_{n+1}(\mathbb{Q})$, only that we can ensure that it is $FP_{n}(\mathbb{Q})$.
Oct 18, 2019 at 2:47 comment added LSpice @YCor, ah, fair enough. Still it’s appropriate to mention the paper!
Oct 17, 2019 at 23:01 comment added YCor @LSpice this is a standard finiteness property of group cohomology. One says that $G$ has Property $FP_n(R)$ if the trivial $RG$-module $R$ has a resolution by projective $RG$-modules $P_n\to P_{n-1}\to\dots P_0\to R\to 0$ with each $P_i$ finitely generated. See Wikipedia: finiteness properties of groups
Oct 17, 2019 at 20:59 comment added LSpice What is the paper? Or, at least, what is a group of type $\operatorname{FP}_n(\mathbb Q)$?
