AbstractGruenberg and Linnell showed that the standard relation module of a free product of n groups of the form Cr × $\mathbb{Z}$ could be generated by just n + 1 generators, raising the possibility of a relation gap. We explicitly give such a set of generators.

Let E be a free product of a finite number of cyclic groups, and S a normal subgroup of E such that E/S ≅ G is finite. For a prime p, Ŝ = S / S′Sp may be regarded as an -module. Whenever E is a free group, Ŝ is called a relation module (modulo p); in general we call Ŝ a relative relation module (modulo p). Gaschütz, Gruenberg and others have studied relation modules; the aim of this paper is to study relative relation modules.

Open Case

AbstractWe provide some necessary and some sufficient conditions for the automorphism group of a free product of (freely indecomposable, not infinite cyclic) groups to have Property (FA). The additional sufficient conditions are all met by finite groups, and so this case is fully characterised. Therefore, this paper generalises the work of N. Leder [Serre’s Property FA for automorphism groups of free products, preprint (2018), https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.06287v1]. for finite cyclic groups, as well as resolving the open case of that paper.

Equations Over Groups

Let G be a group, and let r = r(t) be an element of the free product G * 〈G〉 of G with the infinite cyclic group generated by t. We say that the equation r(t) = 1 has a solution in G if the identity map on G extends to a homomorphism from G * 〈G〉 to G with r in its kernel. We say that r(t) = 1 has a solution over G if G can be embedded in a group H such that r(t) = 1 has a solution in H. This property is equivalent to the canonical map from G to 〈G, t|r〉 (the quotient of G * 〈G〉 by the normal closure of r) being injective.

Image Position

The modular group PSL(2, ℤ), which is isomorphic to a free product of a cyclicgroupof order 2 and a cyclic group of order 3, has many important homomorphic images. Inparticular, Macbeath [7] showed that PSL(2, q) is an image of the modular group if q ≠ 9. (Here, as usual, q is a prime power.) The extended modular group PGL(2, ℤ) contains PSL{2, ℤ) with index 2. It has a presentationthe subgroup PSL(2, ℤ) being generated by UV and VW.
