Finiteness and CAT(0) properties of diagram groups
Any diagram group over a +nite semigroup presentation acts properly, freely, and cellularly by isometrices on a proper CAT(0) cubical complex. The existence of a proper, cellular action by isometries on a CAT(0) cubical complex has powerful consequences for the acting group G. One gets, for example, a proof that G satis+es the Baum–Connes conjecture. Any diagram group over a +nite presentation ...
متن کاملHomological and Finiteness Properties of Picture Groups
Picture groups are a class of groups introduced by Guba and Sapir. Known examples include Thompson’s groups F , T , and V . In this paper, a large class of picture groups is proved to be of type F∞. A Morse-theoretic argument shows that, for a given picture group, the rational homology vanishes in almost all dimensions.
متن کاملJumping loci and finiteness properties of groups
Characteristic varieties. Let X be a connected CW-complex with finitely many cells in each dimension, and G its fundamental group. The characteristic varieties of X are the jumping loci for cohomology with coefficients in rank 1 local systems: V i k (X) = {ρ ∈ Hom(G,C∗) | dimH(X,Cρ) ≥ k}. These varieties emerged from the work of Novikov [22] on Morse theory for closed 1-forms on manifolds. It t...
متن کاملImproving Finiteness Properties for Metabelian Groups
We show that any finitely generated metabelian group can be embedded in a metabelian group of type F3. The proof builds upon work of G. Baumslag [4], who independently with V. R. Remeslennikov [10] proved that any finitely generated metabelian group can be embedded in a finitely presented one. We also rely essentially on the Sigma theory of R. Bieri and R. Strebel [7], who introduced this geome...
متن کاملStructure and Finiteness Properties of Subdirect Products of Groups
We investigate the structure of subdirect products of groups, particularly their finiteness properties. We pay special attention to the subdirect products of free groups, surface groups and HNN extensions. We prove that a finitely presented subdirect product of free and surface groups virtually contains a term of the lower central series of the direct product or else fails to intersect one of t...
