LetG=A★HBbe the generalized free product of the groupsAandBwith the amalgamated subgroupH. Also, letλ(G)andψ(G)represent the lower near Frattini subgroup and the near Frattini subgroup ofG, respectively. IfGis finitely generated and residually finite, then we show thatψ(G)≤H, providedHsatisfies a nontrivial identical relation. Also, we prove that ifGis residually finite, thenλ(G)≤H, provided: (i)Hsatisfies a nontrivial identical relation andA,Bpossess proper subgroupsA1,B1of finite index containingH; (ii) neitherAnorBlies in the variety generated byH; (iii)H<A1≤AandH<B1≤B, whereA1andB1each satisfies a nontrivial identical relation; (iv)His nilpotent.

In [1] Higman and Neumann asked the questions whether the Frattini subgroup of a generalized free product can be larger than the amalgamated subgroup and whether such groups necessarily have maximal subgroups. In [4] Whittemore gave answers to the special cases of generalized free products of finitely many free groups with cyclic amalgamation and of generalized free products of finitely many finitely generated abelian groups. In this paper we shall study the Frattini subgroups of generalized free products of any groups with cyclic amalgamation.

Let K be a root class of groups. It is proved that a free product of any family of residually K groups with one amalgamated subgroup, which is a retract in all free factors, is residually K. The sufficient condition for a generalized free product of two groups to be residually K is also obtained, provided that the amalgamated subgroup is normal in one of the free factors and is a retract in another.

AbstractWe derive a criterion for a generalized free product of groups to be cyclic subgroup separable. We see that most of the known results for cyclic subgroup separability are covered by this criterion, and we apply the criterion to polygonal products of groups. We show that a polygonal product of finitely generated abelian groups, amalgamating cyclic subgroups, is cyclic subgroup separable.

The standard methods of constructing generalized free products of groups (with a single amalgamated subgroup) and permutational products of groups are to consider groups of permutations on sets. Although there is an apparent similarity between these two constructions, the exact nature of the relationship is not clear. The following addendum to [4] grew out of an attempt to determine this relationship. By noting that the original construction of permutational products (B. H. Neumann [7]) deals with a group of permutations on a group (although the group structure has been previously ignored; see [7], [8]) we here give an extension of the original permutational product-construction which yields both the generalized free product and the permutational products as groups of permutations on groups. A generalized free product is represented as a group of permutations on the ordinary free product of the constituents of the underlying group amalgam and a permutational product is a group of permutations on the direct product of the constituents of the amalgam.

The problem of the exact location of the Frattini subgroup 4>(G) of a generalized free product G = (A*B)H was first raised by Higman and Neumann [5]. Solutions to special cases of the problem can be found in [1], [2], [8], [9] and [10]. The purpose of this note is to extend the results of [2], [8], and to simplify the proof of Whittemore's theorem [10]. We also apply our result to give simple proofs of certain classes of knot groups that have trivial Frattini subgroups. The proof that every knot group has trivial Frattini subgroup hard and long (footnote 2, p. 56).

We deal with questions about the possible embeddings of two given groups A and B in a group P such that the intersection of A and B is a given subgroup H. The data, consisting of the “constituents” A and B with the “amalgamated” subgroup H, form an amalgam.1 According to a classical theorem of Otto Schreier [5], every amalgam of two groups can be embedded in a group F, the “free product of A and B with amalgamated subgroup H” or the “generalized free product” of the amalgam. This has the property that every group P in which the amalgam is embedded and which is generated by the amalgam, is a homomorphic image of it. Hence theorems on the existence of certain embedding groups P can be interpreted also as theorems on the existence of certain normal subgroups of F.

Let G be a free product of residually finite virtually soluble groups A and B of finite rank with an amalgamated subgroup H, H 6= A and H 6= B. And let H contains a subgroup W of finite index which is normal in both A and B. We prove that the group G is residually finite if and only if the subgroup H is finitely separable in A and B. Also we prove that if all subgroups of A and B are finitely separable in A and B, respectively, all finitely generated subgroups of G are finitely separable in G.

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.
