The isomorphism problem for toral relatively hyperbolic groups

François Dahmani, Daniel Groves (2008)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

We provide a solution to the isomorphism problem for torsion-free relatively hyperbolic groups with abelian parabolics. As special cases we recover solutions to the isomorphism problem for: (i) torsion-free hyperbolic groups (Sela, [60] and unpublished); and (ii) finitely generated fully residually free groups (Bumagin, Kharlampovich and Miasnikov [14]). We also give a solution to the homeomorphism problem for finite volume hyperbolic n -manifolds, for n 3 . In the course of the proof of the main result,...

The nilpotency of some groups with all subgroups subnormal.

Leonid A. Kurdachenko, Howard Smith (1998)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let G be a group with all subgroups subnormal. A normal subgroup N of G is said to be G-minimax if it has a finite G-invariant series whose factors are abelian and satisfy either max-G or min- G. It is proved that if the normal closure of every element of G is G-minimax then G is nilpotent and the normal closure of every element is minimax. Further results of this type are also obtained.

The Ore conjecture

Martin Liebeck, E.A. O’Brien, Aner Shalev, Pham Tiep (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The Ore conjecture, posed in 1951, states that every element of every finite non-abelian simple group is a commutator. Despite considerable effort, it remains open for various infinite families of simple groups. In this paper we develop new strategies, combining character-theoretic methods with other ingredients, and use them to establish the conjecture.

The p 1 -central extension of the Mapping Class Group of orientable surfaces

Sylvain Gervais (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Topological Quantum Field Theories are closely related to representations of Mapping Class Groups of surfaces. Considering the case of the TQFTs derived from the Kauffman bracket, we describe the central extension coming from this representation, which is just a projective extension.

The ratio and generating function of cogrowth coefficients of finitely generated groups

Ryszard Szwarc (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a group generated by r elements g 1 , , g r . Among the reduced words in g 1 , , g r of length n some, say γ n , represent the identity element of the group G. It has been shown in a combinatorial way that the 2nth root of γ 2 n has a limit, called the cogrowth exponent with respect to the generators g 1 , , g r . We show by analytic methods that the numbers γ n vary regularly, i.e. the ratio γ 2 n + 2 / γ 2 n is also convergent. Moreover, we derive new precise information on the domain of holomorphy of γ(z), the generating function associated...

The Ribes-Zalesskii property of some one relator groups

Gilbert Mantika, Narcisse Temate-Tangang, Daniel Tieudjo (2022)

Archivum Mathematicum

The profinite topology on any abstract group G , is one such that the fundamental system of neighborhoods of the identity is given by all its subgroups of finite index. We say that a group G has the Ribes-Zalesskii property of rank k , or is RZ k with k a natural number, if any product H 1 H 2 H k of finitely generated subgroups H 1 , H 2 , , H k is closed in the profinite topology on G . And a group is said to have the Ribes-Zalesskii property or is RZ if it is RZ k for any natural number k . In this paper we characterize groups...
