Translation Equivalent Elements in Free Groups
Abstract. Let Fn be a free group of rank n ≥ 2. Two elements g, h in Fn are said to be translation equivalent in Fn if the cyclic length of φ(g) equals the cyclic length of φ(h) for every automorphism φ of Fn. Let F (a, b) be the free group generated by {a, b} and let w(a, b) be an arbitrary word in F (a, b). We prove that w(g, h) and w(h, g) are translation equivalent in Fn whenever g, h ∈ Fn ...
متن کاملTranslation Equivalence in Free Groups
Motivated by the work of Leininger on hyperbolic equivalence of homotopy classes of closed curves on surfaces, we investigate a similar phenomenon for free groups. Namely, we study the situation when two elements g, h in a free group F have the property that for every free isometric action of F on an R-tree X the translation lengths of g and h on X are equal.
متن کاملCounting Primitive Elements in Free Groups
In this paper it is proved that the set of primitive elements of a nonabelian free group has density zero, i.e. the ratio of primitive elements in increasingly large balls is arbitrarily small. Two notions of density (natural and exponential density) are defined and some of their properties are studied. A class of subsets of the free group (graphical sets) is defined restricting the occurrence ...
متن کاملTest elements in torsion-free hyperbolic groups
We prove that in a torsion-free hyperbolic group, an element is a test element if and only if it is not contained in a proper retract.
متن کاملFixed-point-free /^-elements in Transitive Permutation Groups
We give sufficient conditions for a finite permutation group to contain a fixed-point-free permutation of/>-power order for a given prime p.
