Presentations of surface braid groups by graphs

Paolo Bellingeri, Vladimir Vershinin (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We extend and generalise Sergiescu's results on planar graphs and presentations for the braid group Bₙ to other topological generalisations of Bₙ.

Q-perfect groups and universal Q-central extensions.

Ronald Brown (1990)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Using results of Ellis-Rodríguez Fernández, an explicit description by generators and relations is given of the mod q Schur multiplier, and this is shown to be the kernel of a universal q-central extension in the case of a q-perfect group, i.e. one which is generated by commutators and q-th powers. These results generalise earlier work [by] K. Dennis and Brown-Loday.

Quasi-isometric maps and Floyd boundaries of relatively hyperbolic groups

Victor Gerasimov, Leonid Potyagailo (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We describe the kernel of the canonical map from the Floyd boundary of a relatively hyperbolic group to its Bowditch boundary. Using the Floyd completion we further prove that the property of relative hyperbolicity is invariant under quasi-isometric maps. If a finitely generated group H admits a quasi-isometric map ϕ into a relatively hyperbolic group G then H is itself relatively hyperbolic with respect to a system of subgroups whose image under ϕ is situated within a uniformly bounded distance...

Random walks on finite rank solvable groups

Ch. Pittet, Laurent Saloff-Coste (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We establish the lower bound p 2 t ( e , e ) exp ( t 1 / 3 ) , for the large times asymptotic behaviours of the probabilities p 2 t ( e , e ) of return to the origin at even times 2 t , for random walks associated with finite symmetric generating sets of solvable groups of finite Prüfer rank. (A group has finite Prüfer rank if there is an integer r , such that any of its finitely generated subgroup admits a generating set of cardinality less or equal to r .)

Relation modules of infinite groups, II

Martin Evans (2014)

Open Mathematics

Let F n denote the free group of rank n and d(G) the minimal number of generators of the finitely generated group G. Suppose that R ↪ F m ↠ G and S ↪ F m ↠ G are presentations of G and let R ¯ and S ¯ denote the associated relation modules of G. It is well known that R ¯ ( G ) d ( G ) S ¯ ( G ) d ( G ) even though it is quite possible that . However, to the best of the author’s knowledge no examples have appeared in the literature with the property that . Our purpose here is to exhibit, for each integer k ≥ 1, a group G that has presentations...
