Limits of (certain) Cat(0) Groups, Ii: the Hopf Property and the Shortening Argument
نویسنده
چکیده
This is the second in a series of papers about torsionfree groups which act properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) metric space with isolated flats and relatively thin triangles. Our approach is to adapt the methods of Sela and others for wordhyperbolic groups to this context of non-positive curvature. The main result in this paper is that (under certain technical hypotheses) such a group as above is Hopfian. This (mostly) answers a question of Sela.

متن کاملLimits in modified categories of interest
We firstly prove the completeness of the category of crossed modules in a modified category of interest. Afterwards, we define pullback crossed modules and pullback cat objects that are both obtained by pullback diagrams with extra structures on certain arrows. These constructions unify many corresponding results for the cases of groups, commutative algebras and can also be adapted to ...
متن کاملShort-Term Clinical Outcomes of Radial Shortening Osteotomy and Capitates Shortening Osteotomy in Kienböck Disease
Background: There is no consensus on the best surgical treatment in Kienböck disease. We compared the shortterm outcomes of radial shortening osteotomy and capitate shortening osteotomy in patients affected with this disease. Methods: In a retrospective study of 21 patients with Lichtman stage IIIA of Kienböck disease, 12 patients with an average follow up of 3.2 ± 0.6 years had radial short...
متن کاملHOPF BIFURCATION CONTROL WITH PD CONTROLLER
In this paper, we investigate the problem of bifurcation control for a delayed logistic growth model. By choosing the timedelay as the bifurcation parameter, we present a Proportional - Derivative (PD) Controller to control Hopf bifurcation. We show that the onset of Hopf bifurcation can be delayed or advanced via a PD Controller by setting proper controlling parameter. Under consideration mode...
متن کاملLimits of (certain) Cat(0) Groups, I: Compactification
The purpose of this paper is to investigate torsion-free groups which act properly and cocompactly on CAT(0) metric spaces which have isolated flats, as defined by Hruska [18]. Our approach is to seek results analogous to those of Sela, Kharlampovich and Miasnikov for free groups and to those of Sela (and Rips and Sela) for torsion-free hyperbolic groups. This paper is the first in a series. In...
