A refinement of the simple connectivity at infinity of groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We give another proof for a result of Brick ([2]) stating that the simple connectivity at infinity is a geometric property of finitely presented groups. This allows us to define the rate of vanishing of π∞ 1 for those groups which are simply connected at infinity. Further we show that this rate is linear for cocompact lattices in nilpotent and semi-simple Lie groups, and in particular for fundamental groups of geometric 3-manifolds.

Connectivity at Infinity for Right Angled Artin Groups
We establish sufficient conditions implying semistability and connectivity at infinity properties for CAT(0) cubical complexes. We use this, along with the geometry of cubical K(π, 1)’s to give a complete description of the higher connectivity at infinity properties of right angled Artin groups. Among other things, this determines which right angled Artin groups are duality groups. Applications...
متن کاملConnectivity at Infinity for Braid Groups on Complete Graphs
We show that the connectivity at infinity for configuration spaces on complete graphs is determined by the connectivity of chessboard complexes.
متن کاملChanges in Effective Connectivity Network Patterns in Drug Abusers, Treated With Different Methods
Introduction: Various treatment methods for drug abusers will result in different success rates. This is partly due to different neural assumptions and partly due to various rate of relapse in abusers because of different circumstances. Investigating the brain activation networks of treated subjects can reveal the hidden mechanisms of the therapeutic methods. Methods: We studied three groups o...
متن کاملON THE REFINEMENT OF THE UNIT AND UNITARY CAYLEY GRAPHS OF RINGS
Let $R$ be a ring (not necessarily commutative) with nonzero identity. We define $Gamma(R)$ to be the graph with vertex set $R$ in which two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if there exist unit elements $u,v$ of $R$ such that $x+uyv$ is a unit of $R$. In this paper, basic properties of $Gamma(R)$ are studied. We investigate connectivity and the girth of $Gamma(R)$, where $...
متن کاملINCLUSION RELATIONS CONCERNING WEAKLY ALMOST PERIODIC FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTIONS VANISHING AT INFINITY
We consider the space of weakly almost periodic functions on a transformation semigroup (S, X , ?) and show that if X is a locally compact noncompact uniform space, and ? is a separately continuous, separately proper, and equicontinuous action of S on X, then every continuous function on X, vanishing at infinity is weakly almost periodic. We also use a number of diverse examples to show ...
