Distortion of Wreath Products in Some Finitely Presented Groups
Wreath products such as Z ≀ Z are not finitely-presentable yet can occur as subgroups of finitely presented groups. Here we compute the distortion of Z ≀ Z as a subgroup of Thompson’s group F and as a subgroup of Baumslag’s metabelian group G. We find that Z ≀ Z is undistorted in F but is at least exponentially distorted in G.
متن کاملA Characterisation of Large Finitely Presented Groups
In this paper, we will consider finitely presented groups that have a finite index subgroup which admits a surjective homomorphism onto a non-abelian free group. Gromov called these groups large [4]. Large groups have particularly nice properties (for example, super-exponential subgroup growth). They also play an important rôle in lowdimensional topology: it is a major conjecture that the funda...
متن کاملFinitely Presented Residually Free Groups
We establish a general criterion for the finite presentability of subdirect products of groups and use this to characterize finitely presented residually free groups. We prove that, for all n ∈ N, a residually free group is of type FPn if and only if it is of type Fn. New families of subdirect products of free groups are constructed, including the first examples of finitely presented subgroups ...
متن کاملConstructing Matrix Representations of Finitely Presented Groups
The Todd-Coxeter coset enumeration algorithm is one of the most powerful tools of computational group theory. It may be viewed as a means of constructing permutation representations of nitely presented groups. In this paper we present an analogous algorithm for directly constructing matrix representations over many elds. In fact the algorithm is more general than this, and can be used to constr...
متن کاملDecompositions of finitely generated and finitely presented groups
In this paper we discuss the splitting or decomposing of finitely generated groups into free products, free products with amalgamation or HNN extensions and we discuss the JSJ decomposition of finitely presented groups.
