Groups assembled from free and direct products
Let A be the collection of groups which can be assembled from infinite cyclic groups using the binary operations free and direct product. These groups can be described in several ways by graphs. The group (Z ∗Z)×(Z ∗Z) has been shown by [1] to have a rich subgroup structure. In this article we examine subgroups of A–groups. DefineA to be the smallest class of groups which contains the infinite ...
متن کاملConjugation-free Groups, Lower Central Series and Line Arrangements
The quotients Gk/Gk+1 of the lower central series of a finitely presented group G are an important invariant of this group. In this work we investigate the ranks of these quotients in the case of a certain class of conjugation-free groups, which are groups generated by x1, . . . , xn and having only cyclic relations: xitxit−1 · . . . · xi1 = xit−1 · . . . · xi1xit = · · · = xi1xit · . . . · xi2...
متن کاملFundamental Groups of Line Arrangements
This is a survey of some recent developments in the study of complements of line arrangements in the complex plane. We investigate the fundamental groups and nite covers of those complements, focusing on homological and enumerative aspects. The unifying framework for this study is the strati-cation of the character variety of the fundamental group, G, by the jumping loci for cohomology with coe...
متن کاملReal line arrangements and fundamental groups
Let A be a real line arrangement in P(R), and let AC be its complexification. Let CC be the complement P (C) \ ⋃ AC. Let G be the Galois group of C/R. We construct a G-equivariant 2-dimensional strong deformation retract of CC. As an application, we give an explicit presentation of the orbifold fundamental group π1(CC//G), and deduce from it an explicit presentation of the ordinary fundamental ...
متن کاملCohomology Rings of Almost-direct Products of Free Groups
An almost-direct product of free groups is an iterated semidirect product of finitely generated free groups in which the action of the constituent free groups on the homology of one another is trivial. We determine the structure of the cohomology ring of such a group. This is used to analyze the topological complexity of the associated Eilenberg-Mac Lane space. 1. Almost direct products of free...
