Bounding the Residual Finiteness of Free Groups
We find a lower bound to the size of finite groups detecting a given word in the free group. More precisely we construct a word wn of length n in non-abelian free groups with the property that wn is the identity on all finite quotients of size ∼ n2/3 or less. This improves on a previous result of BouRabee and McReynolds quantifying the lower bound of the residual finiteness of free groups. A gr...
متن کاملOn the residual finiteness of outer automorphisms of hyperbolic groups
We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer automorphism group of a conjugacy separable hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a result, we are able to prove that the group of outer automorphisms of every finitely generated Fuchsian group and of every free-by-finite group is residually finite.
متن کاملReflections on the residual finiteness of one-relator groups
Let G D ha; b; : : : j r D 1i be a one-relator group equipped with at least two generators. For all w which do not commute with r in the ambient free group on the generators a, b, ..., the groups G.r;w/ D ha; b; : : : j rrw D r2i are not residually finite and have the same finite images as G. The existence of this family of one-relator groups which are not residually finite reinforces what is b...
متن کاملResidual Finiteness, Qcerf, and Fillings of Hyperbolic Groups
We prove that if every hyperbolic group is residually finite, then every quasi-convex subgroup of every hyperbolic group is separable. The main tool is relatively hyperbolic Dehn filling.
متن کاملOn the Residual Finiteness of Fundamental Groups of Graphs of Certain Groups
We give a characterization for fundamental groups of graphs of groups amalgamating cyclic edge subgroups to be cyclic subgroup separable if each pair of edge subgroups has a non-trivial intersection. We show that fundamental groups of graphs of abelian groups amalgamating cyclic edge subgroups are cyclic subgroup separable, hence residually finite, if each edge subgroup is isolated in its conta...
