Conjugacy pinched and cyclically pinched one-relator groups.

Benjamin Fine, Gerhard Rosenberger, Michael Stille (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

Here we consider two classes of torsion-free one-relator groups which have proved quite amenable to study-the cyclically pinched one-relator groups and the conjugacy pinched one-relator groups. The former is the class of groups which are free products of free groups with cyclic amalgamations while the latter is the class of HNN extensions of free groups with cyclic associated subgroups. Both are generalizations of surface groups. We compare and contrast results in these classes relative...

A free group of piecewise linear transformations

Grzegorz Tomkowicz (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We prove the following conjecture of J. Mycielski: There exists a free nonabelian group of piecewise linear, orientation and area preserving transformations which acts on the punctured disk {(x,y) ∈ ℝ²: 0 < x² + y² < 1} without fixed points.
