Finite Index Subgroups of Fully Residually Free Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using graph-theoretic techniques for f.g. subgroups of F we provide a criterion for a f.g. subgroup of a f.g. fully residually free group to be of finite index. Moreover, we show that this criterion can be checked effectively. Also we obtain an analogue of Greenberg-Stallings Theorem for f.g. fully residually free groups, and prove that a f.g. non-abelian subgroup of a f.g. fully residually free group is of finite index in its commensurator.

On the Finite Presentation of Subdirect Products and the Nature of Residually Free Groups
We establish virtual surjection to pairs (VSP) as a general criterion for the finite presentability of subdirect products of groups: if Γ1, . . . ,Γn are finitely presented and S < Γ1×· · ·×Γn projects to a subgroup of finite index in each Γi × Γj , then S is finitely presentable, indeed there is an algorithm that will construct a finite presentation for S. We use the VSP criterion to character...
متن کاملFinite Index Subgroups of Conjugacy Separable Groups
We construct an example of conjugacy separable group possessing a not conjugacy separable subgroup of finite index. We give also a sufficient condition for a conjugacy separable group to preserve this property when passing to subgroups of finite index. We establish also conjugacy separability of finitely presented residually free groups using impressive results of Bridson and Wilton [BW-07].
متن کاملFully Residually Free Groups and Graphs Labeled by Infinite Words
Let F = F (X) be a free group with basis X and Z[t] be a ring of polynomials with integer coefficients in t. In this paper we develop a theory of (Z[t], X)-graphs a powerful tool in studying finitely generated fully residually free (limit) groups. This theory is based on the Kharlampovich-Myasnikov characterization of finitely generated fully residually free groups as subgroups of the Lyndon’s ...
متن کاملSubgroup Properties of Fully Residually Free Groups
We prove that fully residually free groups have the Howson property, that is the intersection of any two finitely generated subgroups in such a group is again finitely generated. We also establish some commensurability properties for finitely generated fully residually free groups which are similar to those of free groups. Finally we prove that for a finitely generated fully residually free gro...
متن کاملA NOTE ON POLYCYLIC RESIDUALLY FINITE-p GROUPS
A subgroup H of a residually finite-p group G is almost p-closed in G if H has finite p′-index in ̄̄ H, its closure with respect to the pro-p topology on G. We characterise polycyclic residually finite-p groups in which all subgroups are almost p-closed and discuss a few conditions that are sufficient for particular subgroups H to be almost p-closed. We also present, for each prime p, an example...
