Small cancellations over relatively hyperbolic groups and embedding theorems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we generalize the small cancellation theory over hyperbolic groups developed by Olshanskii to the case of relatively hyperbolic groups. This allows us to construct infinite finitely generated groups with exactly n conjugacy classes for every n ≥ 2. In particular, we give the affirmative answer to the well–known question of the existence of a finitely generated group G other than Z/2Z such that all nontrivial elements of G are conjugate.

Groups with Finitely Many Conjugacy Classes and Their Automorphisms
We combine classical methods of combinatorial group theory with the theory of small cancellations over relatively hyperbolic groups to construct finitely generated torsion-free groups that have only finitely many classes of conjugate elements. Moreover, we present several results concerning embeddings into such groups. As another application of these techniques, we prove that every countable gr...
متن کاملMathematics on Quasiconvex Subsets of Hyperbolic Groups
A geodesic metric space X is called hyperbolic if there exists δ ≥ 0 such that every geodesic triangle ∆ in X is δ-slim, i.e., each side of ∆ is contained in a closed δ-neighborhood of the two other sides. Let G be a group generated by a finite set A and let Γ(G,A) be the corresponding Cayley graph. The group G is said to be word hyperbolic if Γ(G,A) is a hyperbolic metric space. A subset Q of ...

متن کاملCombination of Quasiconvex Subgroups of Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
For relatively hyperbolic groups, we investigate conditions under which the subgroup generated by two quasiconvex subgroups Q1 and Q2 is quasiconvex and isomorphic to Q1 ∗Q1∩Q2 Q2. Our results generalized known combination theorems for quasiconvex subgroups of word-hyperbolic groups. Some applications are presented. In addition, it is proved that the intersection of quasiconvex subgroups is qua...
متن کاملBounded geometry in relatively hyperbolic groups
If a group is relatively hyperbolic, the parabolic subgroups are virtually nilpotent if and only if there exists a hyperbolic space with bounded geometry on which it acts geometrically finitely. This provides, via the embedding theorem of M. Bonk and O. Schramm, a very short proof of the finiteness of asymptotic dimension for such groups (which is known to imply Novikov conjectures).
