Peripheral Splittings of Groups
We define the notion of a “peripheral splitting” of a group. This is essentially a representation of the group as the fundamental group of a bipartite graph of groups, where all the vertex groups of one colour are held fixed—the “peripheral subgroups”. We develop the theory of such splittings and prove an accessibility result. The theory mainly applies to relatively hyperbolic groups with conne...
متن کاملLink Concordance, Boundary Link Concordance and Eta-invariants
We study the eta-invariants of links and show that in many cases they form link concordance invariants, in particular that many eta-invariants vanish for slice links. This result contains and generalizes previous invariants by Smolinsky and Cha–Ko. We give a formula for the eta-invariant for boundary links. In several intersting cases this allows us to show that a given link is not slice. We sh...
متن کاملSplittings of Groups and Intersection Numbers
We prove algebraic analogues of the facts that a curve on a surface with self-intersection number zero is homotopic to a cover of a simple closed curve, and that two simple closed curves on a surface with intersection number zero can be isotoped to be disjoint. In [15] and [16], analogues of the classical JSJ-decompositions of Haken manifolds were described using the notion of isotopic disjoint...
متن کاملMapping Class Groups of Heegaard Splittings
The mapping class group of a Heegaard splitting is the group of connected components in the set of automorphisms of the ambient manifold that map the Heegaard surface onto itself. We find examples of elements of the mapping class group that are periodic, reducible and pseudo Anosov on the Heegaard surface, but are isotopy trivial in the ambient manifold. We prove structural theorems about the f...
متن کاملSplittings of generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups
We study the structure of generalized Baumslag–Solitar groups from the point of view of their (usually non-unique) splittings as fundamental groups of graphs of infinite cyclic groups. We find and characterize certain decompositions of smallest complexity (fully reduced decompositions) and give a simplified proof of the existence of deformations. We also prove a finiteness theorem and solve the...
