Almost all one-relator groups with at least three generators are residually finite

Mark V. Sapir, Iva Špakulová (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that with probability tending to 1, a one-relator group with at least three generators and the relator of length n is residually finite, is a virtually residually (finite p -)group for all sufficiently large p , and is coherent. The proof uses both combinatorial group theory and non-trivial results about Brownian motions.

Amenable, transitive and faithful actions of groups acting on trees

Pierre Fima (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study under which condition an amalgamated free product or an HNN-extension over a finite subgroup admits an amenable, transitive and faithful action on an infinite countable set. We show that such an action exists if the initial groups admit an amenable and almost free action with infinite orbits (e.g. virtually free groups or infinite amenable groups). Our result relies on the Baire category Theorem. We extend the result to groups acting on trees.

Conjugacy pinched and cyclically pinched one-relator groups.

Benjamin Fine, Gerhard Rosenberger, Michael Stille (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

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 to n-freeness,...
