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.

Product Of Groups

In this paper G = F/Fn is studied for F a free product of a finite number of cyclic groups, and Fn the normal subgroup generated by commutators of weight n. The case of n = 4 is completely treated (F/F2 is well known; F/F3 is completely treated in (2)); special cases of n > 4 are studied; a partial conjecture is offered in regard to the unsolved cases. For n = 4 a multiplication table and other properties are given.The problem arose from Golovin's work on nilpotent products ((1), (2), (3)) which are of interest because they are generalizations of the free and direct product of groups: all nilpotent groups are factor groups of nilpotent products in the same sense that all groups are factor groups of free products, and all Abelian groups are factor groups of direct products. In particular (as is well known) every finite Abelian group is a direct product of cyclic groups. Hence it becomes of interest to investigate nilpotent products of finite cyclic groups.

Boundary Mapping

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.

Generic Elements

In [5, 6] the relationships between test words, generic elements, almost primitivity and tame almost primitivity were examined in free groups. In this paper we extend the concepts and connections to general free products and in particular to free products of cyclic groups.
