In [5] Grossman showed that outer automorphism groups of free groups and of fundamental groups of compact orientable surfaces are residually finite. In this paper we introduce the concept of "Property E" of groups and show that certain generalized free products and HNN extensions have this property. We deduce that the outer automorphism groups of finitely generated non-triangle Fuchsian groups are residually finite.

AbstractWe prove that certain tree products of finitely generated Abelian groups have Property E. Using this fact, we show that the outer automorphism groups of those tree products of Abelian groups and Brauner’s groups are residually finite.

AbstractWe study the residual finiteness of free products with amalgamations and HNN-extensions of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We give a characterization in terms of certain conditions satisfied by the associated subgroups. In particular the residual finiteness of these groups implies the possibility of extending the isomorphism of the associated subgroups to an isomorphism of their isolated closures in suitable overgroups of the factors (or the base group in case of HNN-extensions).

AbstractWe give examples to show that unlike generalized free products of groups (g.f.p.) polygonal products of finitely generated (f.g.) nilpotent groups with cyclic amalgamations need not be residually finite (R) and polygonal products of finite p-groups with cyclic amalgamations need not be residually nilpotent. However, polygonal products f.g. abelian groups are R, and under certain conditions polygonal products of finite p-groups with cyclic amalgamations are R.

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.
