!-graphs with Trivial Overlap Are Context-free
String diagrams are a powerful tool for reasoning about composite structures in symmetric monoidal categories. By representing string diagrams as graphs, equational reasoning can be done automatically by double-pushout rewriting. !-graphs give us the means of expressing and proving properties about whole families of these graphs simultaneously. While !-graphs provide elegant proofs of surprisin...
متن کاملA New Proof That Alternating Links Are Non-trivial
We use a simple geometric argument and small cancellation properties of link groups to prove that alternating links are non-trivial. This proof uses only classic results in topology and combinatorial group theory. 1. Statement of Results There are several approaches in the literature for showing that alternating links are non-trivial. Most of these approaches rely upon the use of a powerful kno...
متن کاملGroups and spaces with all localizations trivial
The genus of a finitely generated nilpotent group G is defined as the set of isomorphism classes of finitely generated nilpotent groups K such that the p-localizations Kp, Gp are isomorphic for all primes p [19]. This notion turns out to be particularly relevant in the study of non-cancellation phenomena in group theory and homotopy theory. In the above definition, the restriction of finite gen...
متن کاملGaussian Groups Are Torsion Free
Assume that G is a group of fractions of a cancellative monoid where lower common multiples exist and divisibility has no infinite descending chain. Then G is torsion free. The result applies in particular to all finite Coxeter type Artin groups. Finding an elementary proof for the fact that Artin’s braid groups are torsion free has been reported to be a longstanding open question [9]. The exis...
متن کاملFree Product Actions with Relative Property (T) and Trivial Outer Automorphism Groups
We show that every non-amenable free product of groups admits free ergodic probability measure preserving actions which have relative property (T) in the sense of S. Popa [Pop06, Def. 4.1]. There are continuum many such actions up to orbit equivalence and von Neumann equivalence, and they may be chosen to be conjugate to any prescribed action when restricted to the free factors. We exhibit also...
