On the asphericity of length five relative group presentations

چکیده

We investigate asphericity of the relative group presentation 〈G, t | atbtctdtet = 1〉 and prove it aspherical provided the subgroup of G generated by {ab−1, bc−1, cd−1, de−1} is neither finite cyclic nor a finite triangle group. We also prove a similar result for the closely related relative group presentation 〈G, s, t | αsβsγt = 1 = δtεtζs−1〉.

On the Asphericity of Length Four Relative Group Presentations

We investigate asphericity of the relative group presentation 〈G, t | atbtctdtet = 1〉 and prove it aspherical provided the subgroup of G generated by {ab−1, bc−1, cd−1, de−1} is neither finite cyclic nor a finite triangle group. We also prove a similar result for the closely related relative group presentation 〈G, s, t | αsβsγt = 1 = δtεtζs−1〉.

Asphericity of Symmetric Presentations

Using the notion of relative presentation due to Bogley and Pride, we give a new proof of a theorem of Prishchepov on the asphericity of certain symmetric presentations of groups. Then we obtain further results and applications to topology of low-dimensional manifolds. 1. Relative presentations This section is devoted to recall some definitions and results on the asphericity of relative present...

A FIXED POINT THEOREM AND RELATIVE ASPHERICITY by Max FORESTER and Colin ROURKE

We give short new geometric proofs of theorems of Bogley and Pride and of Serre. Both follow quickly from a global fixed point theorem. The Bogley–Pride theorem concerns aspherical relative group presentations and was applied in [5] to the multivariable adjunction problem. Serre’s theorem is a basic result concerning group cohomology and finite subgroups.

On the Residual Finiteness and Other Properties of (relative) One-relator Groups

A relative one-relator presentation has the form P = 〈x,H;R〉 where x is a set, H is a group, and R is a word on x±1 ∪H. We show that if the word on x±1 obtained from R by deleting all the terms from H has what we call the unique max-min property, then the group defined by P is residually finite if and only if H is residually finite (Theorem 1). We apply this to obtain new results concerning the...

بررسی تنوع کاریوتیپی پنج رقم سیر با استفاده از تجزیه به عامل ها

This investigation was carried out to study the karyotype diversity of five garlic (Allium Sativum L.) varieties in Isfahan Research Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources. Karyotype of mitotic cells in metaphase of root apical meristem in germinated seeds was studied. The base number of chromosomes was x = 8 and all populations were diploid. Experiment was conducted as a completely rando...
