Several transfer results for rational subsets and finitely generated subgroups of HNN-extensions G = 〈 H,t; t-1 at = φ(a) (a ∈ A) 〉 and amalgamated free products G = H *A J such that the associated subgroup A is finite. These transfer results allow to transfer decidability properties or structural properties from the subgroup H (resp. the subgroups H and J) to the group G.

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).

Growth Of Groups

We consider the growth functions βΓ(n) of amalgamated free products Γ = A *C B, where A ≅ B are finitely generated, C is free abelian and |A/C| = |A/B| = 2. For every d ∈ ℕ there exist examples with βΓ(n) ≃ nd+1βA(n). There also exist examples with βΓ(n) ≃ en. Similar behavior is exhibited among Dehn functions.

AbstractA group G is termed conjugacy separable (c.s.) if any pair of distinct conjugacy classes may be mapped to distinct conjugacy classes in some finite epimorph of G. The free product of A and B with cyclic amalgamated subgroup H is shown to be c.s. if A and B are both free, or are both finitely generated nilpotent groups. Further, one-relator groups with nontrivial center and HNN extensions with c.s. base group and finite associated subgroups are also c.s.

Fixed Point Sets

We establish sufficient conditions for the C*-simplicity of two classes of groups. The first class is that of groups acting on trees, such as amalgamated free products, HNN-extensions, and their nontrivial subnormal subgroups; for example normal subgroups of Baumslag–Solitar groups. The second class is that of fundamental groups of compact 3-manifolds, related to the first class by their Kneser–Milnor and JSJ decompositions. Much of our analysis deals with conditions on an action of a group Γ on a tree T which imply the following three properties: abundance of hyperbolic elements, better called strong hyperbolicity, minimality, both on the tree T and on its boundary ∂T, and faithfulness in a strong sense. An important step in this analysis is to identify automorphisms of T which are slender, namely such that their fixed-point sets in ∂T are nowhere dense for the shadow topology.

AbstractHere we mean growth in the sense of Milnor and Gromov. After a brief survey of known results, we compute the growth series of the groups, with respect to generators {x, y}. This is done using minimal normal forms obtained by informal use of judiciously chosen rewrite rules. In both of these examples the growth series is a rational function, and we suspect that this is not the case for the Baumslag-Solitar group.

Groups Acting On Trees

AbstractThe theory of groups acting on trees due to Bass and Serre (1969) is applied to simplify some results of Burns (1972, 1973) giving conditions under which an amalgamated free product or HNN extension has the properties that any finitely generated subgroup containing an infinite subnormal subgroup must have finite index and that the intersection of two finitely generated subgroups is finitely generated.

Orientable Surfaces

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.
