`2–torsion of Free-by-cyclic Groups
We provide an upper bound on the `2–torsion of a free-bycyclic group, −ρ(2)(F oΦ Z), in terms of a relative train-track representative for Φ ∈ Aut(F). Our result shares features with a theorem of Lück–Schick computing the `2–torsion of the fundamental group of a 3–manifold that bers over the circle in that it shows that the `2–torsion is determined by the exponential dynamics of the monodromy. ...
متن کاملCountable Extensions of Torsion Abelian Groups
Suppose A is an abelian torsion group with a subgroup G such that A/G is countable that is, in other words, A is a torsion countable abelian extension of G. A problem of some group-theoretic interest is that of whether G ∈ K, a class of abelian groups, does imply that A ∈ K. The aim of the present paper is to settle the question for certain kinds of groups, thus extending a classical result due...
متن کاملFinitely Presented Extensions by Free Groups
We prove here that a finitely presented group with a free quotient of rank n is an HNN-extension with n stable letters of a finitely generated group where the associated subgroups are finitely generated. This theorem has a number of consequences. In particular, in the event that the free quotient is cyclic it reduces to an elementary and quick proof of a theorem of Bieri and Strebel. 1. Finitel...
متن کاملGaussian Groups Are Torsion Free
Assume that G is a group of fractions of a cancellative monoid where lower common multiples exist and divisibility has no infinite descending chain. Then G is torsion free. The result applies in particular to all finite Coxeter type Artin groups. Finding an elementary proof for the fact that Artin’s braid groups are torsion free has been reported to be a longstanding open question [9]. The exis...
متن کاملHyperbolic extensions of free groups
Given a finitely generated subgroup Γ≤ Out(F) of the outer automorphism group of the rank r free group F = Fr, there is a corresponding free group extension 1→ F→ EΓ→ Γ→ 1. We give sufficient conditions for when the extension EΓ is hyperbolic. In particular, we show that if all infinite order elements of Γ are atoroidal and the action of Γ on the free factor complex of F has a quasi-isometric o...
