We consider the growth functions βΓ(n) of amalgamated free products Γ = A *C B, where A ≅ B are finitely generated, C is free abelian and |A/C| = |A/B| = 2. For every d ∈ ℕ there exist examples with βΓ(n) ≃ nd+1βA(n). There also exist examples with βΓ(n) ≃ en. Similar behavior is exhibited among Dehn functions.

AbstractA group G is termed conjugacy separable (c.s.) if any pair of distinct conjugacy classes may be mapped to distinct conjugacy classes in some finite epimorph of G. The free product of A and B with cyclic amalgamated subgroup H is shown to be c.s. if A and B are both free, or are both finitely generated nilpotent groups. Further, one-relator groups with nontrivial center and HNN extensions with c.s. base group and finite associated subgroups are also c.s.

We show that stable commutator length is rational on free products of free abelian groups amalgamated over ℤk, a class of groups containing the fundamental groups of all torus knot complements. We consider a geometric model for these groups and parametrize all surfaces with specified boundary mapping to this space. Using this work we provide a topological algorithm to compute stable commutator length in these groups. Further, we use the methods developed to show that in free products of cyclic groups the stable commutator length of a fixed word varies quasirationally in the orders of the free factors.

It is shown that the free product of two residually finite combinatorial strict inverse semigroups in general is not residually finite. In contrast, the free product of a residually finite combinatorial strict inverse semigroup and a semilattice is residually finite.
