Bounding the Residual Finiteness of Free Groups
We find a lower bound to the size of finite groups detecting a given word in the free group. More precisely we construct a word wn of length n in non-abelian free groups with the property that wn is the identity on all finite quotients of size ∼ n2/3 or less. This improves on a previous result of BouRabee and McReynolds quantifying the lower bound of the residual finiteness of free groups. A gr...
متن کاملOn the residual finiteness of outer automorphisms of hyperbolic groups
We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer automorphism group of a conjugacy separable hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a result, we are able to prove that the group of outer automorphisms of every finitely generated Fuchsian group and of every free-by-finite group is residually finite.
متن کاملReflections on the residual finiteness of one-relator groups
Let G D ha; b; : : : j r D 1i be a one-relator group equipped with at least two generators. For all w which do not commute with r in the ambient free group on the generators a, b, ..., the groups G.r;w/ D ha; b; : : : j rrw D r2i are not residually finite and have the same finite images as G. The existence of this family of one-relator groups which are not residually finite reinforces what is b...
متن کاملResidual P-Finiteness of Certain Generalized Free Products of Nilpotent Groups
We show that free products of finitely generated and residually p-finite nilpotent groups, amalgamating p-closed central subgroups are residually p-finite. As a consequence, we are able to show that generalized free products of residually p-finite abelian groups are residually p-finite if the amalgamated subgroup is closed in the pro-p topology on each of the factors.
متن کاملResidual Finiteness, Qcerf, and Fillings of Hyperbolic Groups
We prove that if every hyperbolic group is residually finite, then every quasi-convex subgroup of every hyperbolic group is separable. The main tool is relatively hyperbolic Dehn filling.
