Primitivity Preserving Endomorphisms of Free Groups
An endomorphism φ of a free group is called primitivity preserving if φ takes every primitive element to another primitive. In this paper we prove that every primitivity preserving endomorphism of a free group of a finite rank n ≥ 3 is an automorphism.
متن کاملInfinitely Generated Free Nilpotent Groups: Completeness of the Automorphism Groups
Baumslag conjectured in the 1970s that the automorphism tower of a finitely generated free group (free nilpotent group) must be very short. Dyer and Formanek [9] justified the conjecture concerning finitely generated free groups in the “sharpest sense” by proving that the automorphism group Aut(Fn) of a non-abelian free group Fn of finite rank n is complete. Recall that a group G is said to be ...
متن کاملSolving equations in free nilpotent groups
In this paper we show that any system of equations over a free nilpotent group of class c is either unitary or nullary. In fact, such a system either has a most general solution (akin to the most general solution of a system of linear diophantine equations), or every solution has a proper generalization. In principle we provide an algorithm for determining whether or not a most general solution...
متن کاملCommutators and Squares in Free Nilpotent Groups
In a free group no nontrivial commutator is a square. And in the free group F2 = F (x1, x2) freely generated by x1, x2 the commutator [x1, x2], is never the product of two squares in F2, although it is always the product of three squares. Let F2,3 = 〈x1, x2〉 be a free nilpotent group of rank 2 and class 3 freely generated by x1, x2. We prove that in F2,3 = 〈x1, x2〉, it is possible to write cert...
متن کاملLifting Free Subgroups of PSL(2, R) to Free Groups
Let F = 〈a, b〉 be a rank two free group, let G = 〈A,B〉 be a two generator subgroup of PSL(2,R) and let ρ be a faithful representation of F with ρ(a) = A and ρ(b) = B. If G is discrete and free, many results about the primitive elements of G are proved using the geometry that G inherits from PSL(2,R), the group of orientation preserving isometries of the hyperbolic plane. Some of these results c...
