چکیده

It is proved that for any prime p a finitely generated nilpotent group is conjugacy separable in the class of finite p-groups if and only if the tor-sion subgroup of it is a finite p-group and the quotient group by the torsion subgroup is abelian. 1. Let K be a class of groups. A group G is called residual K (or K-residual) if for each non-unit element a ∈ G there is a homomorphism ϕ of G onto some group X from the class K (or K-group) such that aϕ is not the identity. The group G is called conjugacy separable in the class K (or conjugacy K-separable), if whenever a and b are not conjugate in G, there is a homomorphism ϕ of G onto K-group X such that aϕ and bϕ are not conjugate in X. It is easy to see that a conjugacy K-separable group is also K-residual. Since in general the inverse statement is not true, it is interesting to find such classes of groups for which the property to be K-residual implies conjugacy K-separability. The most investigated (and chronologically first) is the case when class K is the class F of all finite groups; in this case one studies finite residuality and conjugacy separability respectively. K. Gruenberg [4] showed that finitely generated nilpotent groups are residually finite, and then N. Blackburn [5] proved that such groups are conjugacy separable. On the other hand the famous theorem of P. Hall states that every finitely generated metabelian group is residually finite, but there exists the example of finitely generated metabelian group that is not conjugacy separable constructed by M. I. Kargapolov and E. I. Timoshenko [1]. When a class of groups is proved to be F-residual or conjugacy F-separable, the question arises if these groups are K-residual or conjugacy K-separable for some subclass K of the class F. From this point of view the class F p of all finite p-groups is frequently considered. For example, A. I. Mal'cev [2] showed that free groups are residually finite. K. Gruenberg [4] proved that for any prime p every finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group is F p-residual. From this assertion and from the theorem of W. Magnus about N-residuality of free groups (where N is the class of all finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups) follows that every free group is F p-residual for all primes p. Since [3] these …

On Conjugacy Separability of Fibre Products

In this paper we study conjugacy separability of subdirect products of two free (or hyperbolic) groups. We establish necessary and sufficient criteria and apply them to fibre products to produce a finitely presented group G1 in which all finite index subgroups are conjugacy separable, but which has an index 2 overgroup that is not conjugacy separable. Conversely, we construct a finitely present...

On the number of conjugacy classes of finite nilpotent groups

We establish the first super-logarithmic lower bound for the number of conjugacy classes of a finite nilpotent group. In particular, for any constant c there are only finitely many finite p-groups of order pm with at most c ·m conjugacy classes. This answers a question of L. Pyber.

Finite 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].

The isomorphism problem for residually torsion-free nilpotent groups

Both the conjugacy and isomorphism problems for finitely generated nilpotent groups are recursively solvable. In some recent work, the first author, with a tiny modification of work in the second author’s thesis, proved that the conjugacy problem for finitely presented, residually torsion-free nilpotent groups is recursively unsolvable. Here we complete the algorithmic picture by proving that t...
