Products Of Groups

We define a certain class of groups, Ck, which we show to contain the class of all k-free groups. Our main theorem shows that certain amalgamated free products of groups in C3, are again in C3. In the appendix we show that many 3-manifold groups belong to Ck for suitable k.

Product Of Groups

AbstractPalindromes are those reduced words of free products of groups that coincide with their reverse words. We prove that a free product of groups G has infinite palindromic width, provided that G is not the free product of two cyclic groups of order two (Theorem 2.4). This means that there is no uniform bound k such that every element of G is a product of at most k palindromes. Earlier, the similar fact was established for non-abelian free groups. The proof of Theorem 2.4 makes use of the ideas by Rhemtulla developed for the study of the widths of verbal subgroups of free products.

Solvable Word

The word problem for groups was first formulated by M. Dehn [1], who gave a solution for the fundamental groups of a closed orientable surface of genus g ≧ 2. In the following years solutions were given, for example, for groups with one defining relator [2], free groups, free products of groups with a solvable word problem and, in certain cases, free products of groups with amalgamated subgroups [3], [4], [5]. During the period 1953–1957, it was shown independently by Novikov and Boone that the word problem for groups is recursively undecidable [6], [7]; granting Church's Thesis [8], their work implies that the word problem for groups is effectively undecidable.

Free Subgroups

A subgroup H of a free product [Formula: see text] of groups Gα, α∈ I, is called factor free if for every [Formula: see text] and β ∈ I one has S H S-1∩ Gβ = {1} (by Kurosh theorem on subgroups of free products, factor free subgroups are free). If K is a finitely generated free group, denote [Formula: see text], where r(K) is the rank of K. It is proven that if H, K are finitely generated factor free subgroups of a free product [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text]. It is also shown that the inequality [Formula: see text] of Hanna Neumann conjecture on subgroups of free groups does not hold for factor free subgroups of free products.

In this paper, we define a new type of configurations as two-sided configurations, and investigate which group properties can be characterized by them. It is proved that for polycyclic torsion free groups, having the same finite quotient sets does not imply the (two-sided) configuration equivalence. We show that isomorphisms and configuration equivalences coincide for some free products of groups and a class of nilpotent groups.
