Finitely Generated Abelian Groups

Finitely Generated Semiautomatic Groups

The present work shows that Cayley automatic groups are semiautomatic and exhibits some further constructions of semiautomatic groups and in particular shows that every finitely generated group of nilpotency class 3 is semiautomatic.

Jsj-splittings for Finitely Presented Groups over Slender Groups

We generalize the JSJ-splitting of Rips and Sela to give decompositions of nitely presented groups which capture splittings over certain classes of small subgroups. Such classes include the class of all 2-ended groups and the class of all virtually ZZ groups. The approach, called \track zipping", is relatively elementary, and diiers from the Rips-Sela approach in that it does not rely on the th...

Powers in Finitely Generated Groups

In this paper we study the set Γn of nth-powers in certain finitely generated groups Γ. We show that, if Γ is soluble or linear, and Γn contains a finite index subgroup, then Γ is nilpotent-by-finite. We also show that, if Γ is linear and Γn has finite index (i.e. Γ may be covered by finitely many translations of Γn), then Γ is soluble-by-finite. The proof applies invariant measures on amenable...
