Finitely Generated Infinite Simple Groups of Infinite Commutator Width and Vanishing Stable Commutator Length
It is shown that there exists a finitely generated infinite simple group of infinite commutator width and infinite square width in which every conjugation-invariant norm is stably bounded, and in particular stable commutator length vanishes. Moreover, a recursive presentation of such a group with decidable word and conjugacy problems is constructed.
متن کاملStable Commutator Length of a Dehn Twist
It is proved that the stable commutator length of a Dehn twist in the mapping class group is positive and the tenth power of a Dehn twist about a nonseparating simple closed curve is a product of two commutators. As an application a new proof of the fact that the growth rate of a Dehn twist is linear is given.
متن کاملCommutator Length of Finitely Generated Linear Groups
The commutator length “cl G ” of a group G is the least natural number c such that every element of the derived subgroup of G is a product of c commutators. We give an upper bound for cl G when G is a d-generator nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite group. Then, we give an upper bound for the commutator length of a soluble-by-finite linear group over C that depends only on d and the degree of lineari...
متن کاملStable Length in Stable Groups
We show that the stable commutator length vanishes for certain groups defined as infinite unions of smaller groups. The argument uses a group-theoretic analogue of the Mazur swindle, and goes back to the works of Anderson, Fisher, and Mather on homeomorphism groups.
متن کاملStable Commutator Length in Baumslag–solitar Groups and Quasimorphisms for Tree Actions
This paper has two parts, on Baumslag–Solitar groups and on general G–trees. In the first part we establish bounds for stable commutator length (scl) in Baumslag–Solitar groups. For a certain class of elements, we further show that scl is computable and takes rational values. We also determine exactly which of these elements admit extremal surfaces. In the second part we establish a universal l...
