Residual P-Finiteness of Certain Generalized Free Products of Nilpotent Groups
We show that free products of finitely generated and residually p-finite nilpotent groups, amalgamating p-closed central subgroups are residually p-finite. As a consequence, we are able to show that generalized free products of residually p-finite abelian groups are residually p-finite if the amalgamated subgroup is closed in the pro-p topology on each of the factors.
متن کاملOn the Residual Solvability of Generalized Free Products of Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups
In this paper we study the residual solvability of the generalized free product of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We show that these kinds of structures are often residually solvable.
متن کاملBounding 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 کاملPositive theories of HNN-extensions and amalgamated free products
It is shown that the positive first-order theory of an HNN-extension G = 〈H, t; tat = φ(a)(a ∈ A)〉 can be reduced to the existential firstorder theory of G provided that A and B are proper subgroups of the base group H with A∩B finite. For an amalgamated free product G = H ∗A J , we show that the positive first-order theory of G can be reduced to the existential first-order theory of G in case ...
متن کاملKnapsack in Graph Groups, HNN-Extensions and Amalgamated Products
It is shown that the knapsack problem, which was introduced by Myasnikov et al. for arbitrary finitely generated groups, can be solved in NP for graph groups. This result even holds if the group elements are represented in a compressed form by SLPs, which generalizes the classical NP-completeness result of the integer knapsack problem. We also prove general transfer results: NP-membership of th...
