FINITELY ANNIHILATED GROUPS

Finitely Generated Abelian Groups

Finitely Generated Semiautomatic Groups

The present work shows that Cayley automatic groups are semiautomatic and exhibits some further constructions of semiautomatic groups and in particular shows that every finitely generated group of nilpotency class 3 is semiautomatic.

Powers in Finitely Generated Groups

In this paper we study the set Γn of nth-powers in certain finitely generated groups Γ. We show that, if Γ is soluble or linear, and Γn contains a finite index subgroup, then Γ is nilpotent-by-finite. We also show that, if Γ is linear and Γn has finite index (i.e. Γ may be covered by finitely many translations of Γn), then Γ is soluble-by-finite. The proof applies invariant measures on amenable...

Locally-finitely-valued Cohomology Groups

Finitely 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 ...
