Filling Length in Finitely Presentable Groups
Filling length measures the length of the contracting closed loops in a null-homotopy. The filling length function of Gromov for a finitely presented group measures the filling length as a function of length of edge-loops in the Cayley 2-complex. We give a bound on the filling length function in terms of the log of an isoperimetric function multiplied by a (simultaneously realisable) isodiametr...
متن کاملAll finitely presentable groups from link complements and Kleinian groups
Klein defined geometry in terms of invariance under groups actions; here we give a discrete (partial) converse of this, interpreting all (finitely presentable) groups in terms of the geometry of hyperbolic 3-manifolds (whose fundamental groups are, appropriately, Kleinian groups). For G∗ a Kleinian group of isometries of hyperbolic 3-space H, with MG∗ ∼= H3/G∗ a non-compact N -cusped orientable...
متن کاملPerfect and Acyclic Subgroups of Finitely Presentable Groups
We consider acyclic groups of low dimension. To indicate our results simply, let G′ be the nontrivial perfect commutator subgroup of a finitely presentable group G. Then def(G) ≤ 1. When def(G) = 1, G′ is acyclic provided that it has no integral homology in dimensions above 2 (a sufficient condition for this is that G′ be finitely generated); moreover, G/G′ is then Z or Z. Natural examples are ...
متن کاملSome Results on Locally Finitely Presentable Categories
We prove that any full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable (l.f.p.) category having small limits and filtered colimits preserved by the inclusion functor is itself l.f.p. Here "full" may be weakened to "full with respect to isomorphisms." Further, we characterize those left exact functors T. C —» D between small categories with finite limits for which the functor /*: LEX(D,Set) —> LEX...
متن کاملFinitely Presentable Morphisms in Exact Sequences
Let K be a locally finitely presentable category. If K is abelian and the sequence 0 K // X // k // C c // // 0 // is short exact, we show that 1) K is finitely generated⇔ c is finitely presentable; 2) k is finitely presentable⇔ C is finitely presentable. The “⇐” directions fail for semi-abelian varieties. We show that all but (possibly) 2)(⇐) follow from analogous properties which hold in all ...
