Malnormal subgroups and Frobenius groups: basics and examples

Pierre de la Harpe, Claude Weber (2014)

Confluentes Mathematici

Malnormal subgroups occur in various contexts. We review a large number of examples, and compare the general situation to that of finite Frobenius groups of permutations.In a companion paper [18], we analyse when peripheral subgroups of knot groups and 3 -manifold groups are malnormal.

Mapping class group of a handlebody

Bronisław Wajnryb (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let B be a 3-dimensional handlebody of genus g. Let ℳ be the group of the isotopy classes of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of B. We construct a 2-dimensional simplicial complex X, connected and simply-connected, on which ℳ acts by simplicial transformations and has only a finite number of orbits. From this action we derive an explicit finite presentation of ℳ.
