چکیده

We give short new geometric proofs of theorems of Bogley and Pride and of Serre. Both follow quickly from a global fixed point theorem. The Bogley–Pride theorem concerns aspherical relative group presentations and was applied in [5] to the multivariable adjunction problem. Serre’s theorem is a basic result concerning group cohomology and finite subgroups.

The adjunction problem and a theorem of Serre

In this note we prove injectivity and relative asphericity for “layered” systems of equations over torsion-free groups, when the exponent matrix is invertible over Z. We also give elementary geometric proofs of results due to Bogley–Pride and Serre that are used in the proof of the main theorem. AMS Classification 20E22, 20F05; 57M20, 57Q05

Markov's theorem in 3{manifolds

Sofia Lambropoulou and Colin Rourke Abstract In this paper we rst give a one-move version of Markov's braid theorem for knot isotopy in S3 that sharpens the classical theorem. Then a relative version of Markov's theorem concerning a xed braided portion in the knot. We also prove an analogue of Markov's theorem for knot isotopy in knot complements. Finally we extend this last result to prove a M...

On the Residual Finiteness and Other Properties of (relative) One-relator Groups

A relative one-relator presentation has the form P = 〈x,H;R〉 where x is a set, H is a group, and R is a word on x±1 ∪H. We show that if the word on x±1 obtained from R by deleting all the terms from H has what we call the unique max-min property, then the group defined by P is residually finite if and only if H is residually finite (Theorem 1). We apply this to obtain new results concerning the...
