We prove that torsion free subgroups of GL2(ℂ) (abstractly) commensurable with the Euclidean Bianchi groups are conjugacy separable. As a consequence we deduce the result stated in the tittle.

AbstractWe give explicit examples of asymmetric Riemann surfaces (that is, Riemann surfaces with trivial conformal automorphism group) for all genera g ≥ 3. The technique uses Schreier coset diagrams to construct torsion-free subgroups in groups of signature (0; 2,3,r) for certain values of r.

We study a torsion free weakly branch group G without free subgroups defined by a three state automaton which appears in different problems related to amenability, Galois groups and monodromy. Here and in the forthcoming paper [20] we establish several important properties of G related to fractalness, branchness, just infinitness, growth, amenability and presentations.

AbstractWe show that several torsion free 3-manifold groups are not left-orderable. Our examples are groups of cyclic branched coverings of S3 branched along links. The figure eight knot provides simple nontrivial examples. The groups arising in these examples are known as Fibonacci groups which we show not to be left-orderable. Many other examples of non-orderable groups are obtained by taking 3-fold branched covers of S3 branched along various hyperbolic 2-bridge knots. The manifold obtained in such a way from the 52 knot is of special interest as it is conjectured to be the hyperbolic 3-manifold with the smallest volume.
