The Tits Alternative for Cat(0) Cubical Complexes
We prove a Tits alternative theorem for groups acting on CAT(0) cubical complexes. Namely, suppose that G is a group for which there is a bound on the orders of its finite subgroups. We prove that if G acts properly on a finitedimensional CAT(0) cubical complex, then either G contains a free subgroup of rank 2 or G is finitely generated and virtually abelian. In particular the above conclusion ...
متن کاملThe Tits Alternative
We shall say that the Tits Alternative holds for a class of groups if each group in the class is either solvable by ...nite (that is, contains a solvable normal subgroup of ...nite index) or contains a free subgroup of rank at least 2. Free groups of rank 2 contain free subgroups of countable rank, so in the second case there will be of free subgroups of all ...nite ranks. The Tits Alternative ...
متن کاملThe Ramanujan Property for Regular Cubical Complexes
We consider cubical complexes which are uniformized by an ordered product of regular trees. For these we define the notion of being Ramanujan, generalizing the one-dimensional definition introduced by Lubotzky, Phillips, and Sarnak [15]. As in [12], we also allow local systems. We discuss the significance of this property, and then we construct explicit arithmetic examples using quaternion alge...
متن کاملThe Tits alternative for generalised tetrahedron groups
A generalised tetrahedron group is the colimit of a triangle of groups whose vertex groups are generalised triangle groups and whose edge groups are finite cyclic. We prove an improved Spelling Theorem for generalised triangle groups which enables us to compute the precise Gersten-Stallings angles of this triangle of groups, and hence obtain a classification of generalised tetrahedron groups ac...
متن کاملA topological Tits alternative
Let k be a local field, and Γ ≤ GLn(k) a linear group over k. We prove that Γ contains either a relatively open solvable subgroup or a relatively dense free subgroup. This result has applications in dynamics, Riemannian foliations and profinite groups.
