Amalgamated Products and Properly 3-realizable Groups
In this paper, we show that the class of all properly 3-realizable groups is closed under amalgamated free products (and HNN-extensions) over finite groups. We recall that G is said to be properly 3-realizable if there exists a compact 2-polyhedron K with π1(K) = G and whose universal cover K̃ has the proper homotopy type of a 3-manifold (with boundary).
متن کاملFree Entropy Dimension in Amalgamated Free Products
We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some ‘exotic’ Popa algebra generators of free group factors are shown to have the expected free entropy dimension. We also show that microstates and non–microstates free entropy dimension agree f...
متن کاملAmenable Actions of Amalgamated Free Products
We prove that the amalgamated free product of two free groups of rank two over a common cyclic subgroup, admits an amenable, faithful, transitive action on an infinite countable set. We also show that any finite index subgroup admits such an action, which applies for example to surface groups and fundamental groups of surface bundles over S.
متن کاملFree crossed resolutions for graph products and amalgamated sums of groups
The category of crossed complexes gives an algebraic model of CW -complexes and cellular maps. We show how the strong properties of this category allow for the computation of free crossed resolutions of graph products of groups, and of free products with amalgamation, given free crossed resolutions of the individual groups. This gives computations of higher homotopical syzygies in these cases.
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 ...
