Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ be the complex Fermat variety of degree $m \ge 3$ and even dimension $n = 2k$, and let $L(X) \subseteq H_n(X; \mathbb{Z})$ be the subgroup generated by the classes of its standard $k$-dimensional linear subspaces. Degtyarev and Shimada conjectured that $H_n(X; \mathbb{Z})/L(X)$ is torsion free [DS, Conjecture 1.2]. We prove this conjecture for every degree $m \ge 3$ in every even dimension, modulo two topological results used by [DS]: Pham's theorem on the homology of the affine Fermat variety, and their intersection numbers. Its algebraic form — the quotient…
