Fixed Subgroups of Endomorphisms of Free Products
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G = ∗ i=1 Gi and let φ be a symmetric endomorphism of G. If φ is a monomorphism or if G is a finitely generated residually finite group, then the fixed subgroup Fix(φ) = {g ∈ G : φ(g) = g} of φ has Kurosh rank at most n.

Fixed points of endomorphisms of certain free products
The fixed point submonoid of an endomorphism of a free product of a free monoid and cyclic groups is proved to be rational using automata-theoretic techniques. Maslakova’s result on the computability of the fixed point subgroup of a free group automorphism is generalized to endomorphisms of free products of a free monoid and a free group which are automorphisms of the maximal subgroup.
متن کاملFixed subgroups are compressed in free groups
In this paper we prove that the fixed subgroup of an arbitrary family of endomorphisms ψi, i ∈ I, of a finitely generated free group F , is F -super-compressed. In particular, r(∩i∈IFix ψi) ≤ r(M) for every subgroup M ≤ F containing ∩i∈IFix ψi. This provides new evidence towards the inertia conjecture for fixed subgroups of free groups. As a corollary, we show that, in the free group of rank n,...

The article concludes with a section containing the main open problems and conjectures, with some comments and discussions
متن کاملFixed-point Free Endomorphisms and Hopf Galois Structures
Let L|K be a Galois extension of fields with finite Galois group G. Greither and Pareigis [GP87] showed that there is a bijection between Hopf Galois structures on L|K and regular subgroups of Perm(G) normalized by G, and Byott [By96] translated the problem into that of finding equivalence classes of embeddings of G in the holomorph of groups N of the same cardinality as G. In [CCo06] we showed...
متن کاملSupports of Derivations, Free Factorizations, and Ranks of Fixed Subgroups in Free Groups
For F a free group of finite rank, it is shown that the fixed subgroup of any set B of endomorphisms of F has rank ≤ rank(F ), generalizing a recent result of Dicks and Ventura. The proof involves the combinatorics of derivations of groups. Some related questions are examined.
