The Large Scale Geometry of Some Metabelian Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the large scale geometry of the upper triangular subgroup of PSL2(Z[ 1 n ]), which arises naturally in a geometric context. We prove a quasi-isometry classification theorem and show that these groups are quasi-isometrically rigid with infinite dimensional quasi-isometry group. We generalize our results to a larger class of groups which are metabelian and are higher dimensional analogues of the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(1, n).

Fixed Points of Endomorphisms of a Free Metabelian Group
We consider IA-endomorphisms (i.e. Identical in Abelianization) of a free metabelian group of finite rank, and give a matrix characterization of their fixed points which is similar to (yet different from) the well-known characterization of eigenvectors of a linear operator in a vector space. We then use our matrix characterization to elaborate several properties of the fixed point groups of met...
متن کاملWreath Products and Existentially Complete Solvable Groups
It is known that the theory of abelian groups has a model companion but that the theory of groups does not. We show that for any fixed 22 a 2 the theory of groups solvable of length s 22 has no model companion. For the metabelian case (22 = 2) we prove the stronger result that the classes of finitely generic, infinitely generic, and existentially complete metabelian groups are all distinct. We ...
متن کاملMetabelian Product of a Free Nilpotent Group with a Free Abelian Group
In the variety of all groups, A. I. Mal’cev [5] proved in 1949 that the free product of two residually torsion-free nilpotent groups is again residually torsion-free nilpotent. This paper is motivated by the analogous question in the variety of metabelian groups: can we determine whether free metabelian products of residually torsion-free nilpotent metabelian groups are residually torsion-free ...
متن کاملOn the Cantor-bendixson Rank of Metabelian Groups
We study the Cantor-Bendixson rank of metabelian and virtually metabelian groups in the space of marked groups, and in particular, we exhibit a sequence (Gn) of 2-generated, finitely presented, virtually metabelian groups of Cantor-Bendixson ωn.
متن کاملOn the Conjugacy Problem in Certain Metabelian Groups
We analyze the computational complexity of the conjugacy search problem in a certain family of metabelian groups. We prove that in general the time complexity of the conjugacy search problem for these groups is at most exponential. For a subfamily of groups we prove that the conjugacy search problem is polynomial. We also show that for some of these groups the conjugacy search problem reduces t...
