On Residually Finite Knot Groups

The residual finiteness of the class of groups of fibred knots, or those knot groups with finitely generated and, therefore, free commutator subgroups, has been known for some time. Using Baumslag's results on absolutely parafree groups, this paper extends the result to twist knots (Whitehead doubles of the trivial knot) and certain other classes of nonfibred knots whose minimal spanning surfac...

Non-linear residually finite groups

We prove that groups 〈a, b, t | tat = a, tbt = b〉 are not linear provided k, l 6∈ {−1, 1}. As a consequence we obtain the first example of a non-linear residually finite 1related group.
