The Tits Alternative for Non-spherical Pride Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pride groups, or “groups given by presentations in which each defining relator involves at most two types of generators”, include Coxeter groups, Artin groups, triangles of groups, and Vinberg’s groups defined by periodic paired relations. We show that every non-spherical Pride group that is not a triangle of groups satisfies the Tits alternative.

The Tits alternative for generalised tetrahedron groups
A generalised tetrahedron group is the colimit of a triangle of groups whose vertex groups are generalised triangle groups and whose edge groups are finite cyclic. We prove an improved Spelling Theorem for generalised triangle groups which enables us to compute the precise Gersten-Stallings angles of this triangle of groups, and hence obtain a classification of generalised tetrahedron groups ac...
متن کاملBasic Questions on Artin-Tits groups
This paper is a short survey on four basic questions on Artin-Tits groups: the torsion, the center, the word problem, and the cohomology (K(π, 1) problem). It is also an opportunity to prove three new results concerning these questions: (1) if all free of infinity Artin-Tits groups are torsion free, then all Artin-Tits groups will be torsion free; (2) If all free of infinity irreducible non-sph...
متن کاملTits Alternative in Hypekähler Manifolds
We show an analogous result of the famous Tits alternative for a group G of birational automorphisms of a projective hyperkäher manifold: Either G contains a non-commutative free group or G is an almost abelian group of finite rank. As an application, we show that the automorphism groups of the so-called singular K3 surfaces contain non-commutative free groups.
متن کاملMoufang Buildings and Twin Buildings
The “Moufang Condition” for spherical buildings was introduced by J. Tits in the appendix of [9], as a tool to give more structure to the classification of spherical buildings of rank at least three (which are automatically “Moufang”). More recently, also the spherical buildings of rank 2 satisfying the Moufang Condition are classified [13]. Hence one could say that, on the geometric level, sph...
متن کاملWeakly-split spherical Tits systems in pseudo-reductive groups By Gopal Prasad Dedicated to C. S. Seshadri on his 80th birthday
We will prove that any weakly-split spherical Tits system (B,N) inG = G(k) (G a reductive or a pseudo-reductive k-group) satisfying some natural conditions is “standard”. In particular, if G is anisotropic over k, then such a Tits system is trivial, i.e., B = G.
