Rips Construction and Kazhdan Property (t)
We show that for any non–elementary hyperbolic group H and any finitely presented group Q, there exists a short exact sequence 1 → N → G → Q → 1, where G is a hyperbolic group and N is a quotient group of H . As an application we construct a representation rigid but not superrigid hyperbolic group, show that adding relations of the form xn = 1 to a presentation of a hyperbolic group may drastic...
متن کاملGeneralized Hopfian Property, Minimal Haken Manifold, and J. Simon’s Conjecture for 3-manifold Groups
We address a conjecture that π1-surjective maps between closed aspherical 3-manifolds having the same rank on π1 must be of non-zero degree. The conjecture is proved for Seifert manifolds, which is used in constructing the first known example of minimum Haken manifold. Another motivation is to study epimorphisms of 3-manifold groups via maps of non-zero degree between 3-manifolds. Section
متن کاملIsospectrality and 3-manifold Groups
In this note, we explain how a well-known construction of isospectral manifolds leads to an obstruction to a group being the fundamental group of a closed 3-dimensional manifold. The problem of determining, for a given group G, whether there is a closed 3-manifold M with π1(M) ∼= G is readily seen to be undecidable; let us write G ∈ G 3 if there is such a 3-manifold. A standard conjecture (rela...
متن کامل6 Kazhdan ’ S Property T and C ∗ - Algebras
Kazhdan’s property T has recently been imported to the C∗-world by Bekka. Our objective is to extend a well known fact to this realm; we show that a nuclear C∗-algebra with property T is finite dimensional (for all intents and purposes). Though the result is not surprising, the proof is a bit more complicated than the group case.
متن کاملWhich 3-manifold Groups Are Kähler Groups?
The question in the title, first raised by Goldman and Donaldson, was partially answered by Reznikov. We give a complete answer, as follows: if G is both a (closed) 3-manifold group and a Kähler group, then G must be finite.
