AbstractLet V be a variety of groups in which the free group is residually finite, and let S be a residually finite semigroup. Let Nv(S) be the ‘free’ distributively generated near-ring constructed from S and V. Theorem; Nv(S) is residually finite.

AbstractWe study a notion of residual finiteness for continuous actions of discrete groups on compact Hausdorff spaces and how it relates to the existence of norm microstates for the reduced crossed product. Our main result asserts that an action of a free group on a zero-dimensional compact metrizable space is residually finite if and only if its reduced crossed product admits norm microstates, i.e., is an MF algebra.

AbstractIn general polygonal products of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups amalgamating cyclic subgroups need not be residually finite. In this paper we prove that polygonal products of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups amalgamating maximal cyclic subgroups such that the amalgamated cycles generate an isolated subgroup in the vertex group containing them, are residually finite. We also prove that, for finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups, if the subgroups generated by the amalgamated cycles have the same nilpotency classes as their respective vertex groups, then their polygonal product is residually finite.

Abstract We study a family of finitely generated residually finite groups. These groups are doubles F 2 * H F 2 F_{2}*_{H}F_{2} of a rank-2 free group F 2 F_{2} along an infinitely generated subgroup 𝐻. Varying 𝐻 yields uncountably many groups up to isomorphism.

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.

We establish the result that a finitely generated cyclic extension of a free group is residually finite. This is done, in part, by making use of the fact that a finitely generated module over a principal ideal domain is a direct sum of cyclic modules.

AbstractMotivated by the results of Scott and Patel about “untangling” closed geodesics in finite covers of hyperbolic surfaces, we introduce and study primitivity, simplicity and non-filling index functions for finitely generated free groups. We obtain lower bounds for these functions and relate these free group results back to the setting of hyperbolic surfaces. An appendix by Khalid Bou–Rabee connects the primitivity index functionfprim(n,FN) to the residual finiteness growth function forFN.

Residually Finite Groups

The recent constructions, by Rips and Olshanskii, of infinite groups with all proper subgroups of prime order, and similar ‘monsters’, show that even under the imposition of apparently very strong finiteness conditions, the structure of infinite groups can be rather weird. Thus it seems reasonable to impose the type of condition that enables us to apply the theory of finite groups. Two such conditions are local finiteness and residual finiteness, and here we are interested in the latter. Specifically, we consider residually finite groups of finite rank, where a group is said to have rank r, if all finitely generated subgroups of it can be generated by r elements. Recall that a group is said to be virtually of some property, if it has a subgroup of finite index with this property. We prove the following result:Theorem 1. A residually finite group of finite rank is virtually locally soluble.

The skeleton of a variety of groups is defined to be the intersection of the section closed classes of groups which generate . If m is an integer, m > 1, is the variety of all abelian groups of exponent dividing m, and , is any locally finite variety, it is shown that the skeleton of the product variety is the section closure of the class of finite monolithic groups in . In particular, S) generates . The elements of S are described more explicitly and as a consequence it is shown that S consists of all finite groups in if and only if m is a power of some prime p and the centre of the countably infinite relatively free group of , is a p–group.

The generalization of the Magnus embedding [7] proved by Smelkin [9] may bestated as follows. Let L be a free group freely generated by the set xi(i∈I), and let R be a normal subgroup of L with G = L/R. If V is any variety of groups and ∏ is the V-freegroup with free generating set the symbols [g, xi] (g∈G, i∈I), then L/V(R) is embeddedin the semidirect product ∏ ⋊ G (where the action of G on ∏ is given by h · [g, xi] = [hg, xi], for h, g ∈ G).

AbstractLet G be a locally compact group, and let Acb(G) denote the closure of A(G), the Fourier algebra of G, in the space of completely boundedmultipliers of A(G). If G is a weakly amenable, discrete group such that C*(G) is residually finite-dimensional, we show that Acb(G) is operator amenable. In particular, Acb() is operator amenable even though , the free group in two generators, is not an amenable group. Moreover, we show that if G is a discrete group such that Acb(G) is operator amenable, a closed ideal of A(G) is weakly completely complemented in A(G) if and only if it has an approximate identity bounded in the cb-multiplier norm.
