Kähler groups are fundamental groups of compact Kähler manifolds.The author studies Kähler homomorphisms, namely those isomorphisms between Kähler groups coming from a holomorphic map. The main result consists of a splitting theorem which states that, if \(f:X\rightarrow Y\) is a proper connected holomorphic map from a Kähler manifold into a complex one, then the splitting obstruction \(e(\pi_1(f))\in H^2(\pi_1(Y),K/DK)\) is torsion, where \(K=\ker(\pi_1(f))\).For the entire collection see [Zbl 1210.14004].
