Metric properties of Baumslag-Solitar groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compute estimates for the word metric of Baumslag–Solitar groups in terms of the Britton’s lemma normal form. As a corollary, we find lower bounds for the growth rate for the groups BS(p, q), with 1 < p ≤ q.

Decision and Separability Problems for Baumslag-Solitar Semigroups
We show that the semigroups Sk,` having semigroup presentations 〈a, b : abk = b`a〉 are residually finite and finitely separable. Generally, these semigroups have finite separating images which are finite groups and other finite separating images which are semigroups of order-increasing transformations on a finite partially ordered set. These semigroups thus have vastly different residual and se...
متن کاملA Note on Twisted Conjugacy and Generalized Baumslag-solitar Groups
A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is the fundamental group of a graph of groups all of whose vertex and edge groups are infinite cyclic. Levitt proves that any generalized BaumslagSolitar group has property R∞, that is, any automorphism has an infinite number of twisted conjugacy classes. We show that any group quasi-isometric to a generalized Baumslag-Solitar group also has property R∞. Thi...
متن کاملA Logspace Solution to the Word and Conjugacy problem of Generalized Baumslag-Solitar Groups
Baumslag-Solitar groups were introduced in 1962 by Baumslag and Solitar as examples for finitely presented non-Hopfian two-generator groups. Since then, they served as examples for a wide range of purposes. As Baumslag-Solitar groups are HNN extensions, there is a natural generalization in terms of graph of groups. Concerning algorithmic aspects of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups, several d...

متن کاملSplittings of generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups
We study the structure of generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups from the point of view of their (usually non-unique) splittings as fundamental groups of graphs of infinite cyclic groups. We find and characterize certain decompositions of smallest complexity (fully reduced decompositions) and give a simplified proof of the existence of deformations. We also prove a finiteness theorem and solve the...
