The Conjugacy Problem for Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
Solvability of the conjugacy problem for relatively hyperbolic groups was announced by Gromov [12]. Using the definition of Farb of a relatively hyperbolic group [9], we prove this assertion. We conclude that the conjugacy problem is solvable for the following two classes of groups: fundamental groups of complete, finite-volume, negatively curved manifolds, and finitely generated fully residually free groups.

Conjugacy in Normal Subgroups of Hyperbolic Groups
Let N be a finitely generated normal subgroup of a Gromov hyperbolic group G. We establish criteria for N to have solvable conjugacy problem and be conjugacy separable in terms of the corresponding properties of G/N . We show that the hyperbolic group from F. Haglund’s and D. Wise’s version of Rips’s construction is hereditarily conjugacy separable. We then use this construction to produce firs...
متن کاملAccidental Parabolics and Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
By constructing, in the relative case, objects analoguous to Rips and Sela’s canonical representatives, we prove that the set of conjugacy classes of images by morphisms without accidental parabolic, of a finitely presented group in a relatively hyperbolic group, is finite. An important result of W.Thurston is : Theorem 0.1 ([T] 8.8.6) Let S be any hyperbolic surface of finite area, and N any g...
متن کاملConjugacy of Finite Subsets in Hyperbolic Groups
There is a quadratic-time algorithm that determines conjugacy between finite subsets in any torsion-free hyperbolic group. Moreover, in any k-generator, δ-hyperbolic group Γ, if two finite subsets A and B are conjugate, then x−1Ax = B for some x ∈ Γ with ‖x‖ less than a linear function of max{‖γ‖ : γ ∈ A∪B}. (The coefficients of this linear function depend only on k and δ.) These results have i...

By deploying dense subalgebras of ℓ 1 (G) we generalize the Bass conjecture in terms of Connes' cyclic homology theory. In particular, we propose a stronger version of the ℓ 1-Bass Conjecture. We prove that hyperbolic groups relative to finitely many subgroups, each of which posses the polynomial conjugacy-bound property and nilpotent periodicity property, satisfy the ℓ 1-Stronger-Bass Conjectu...
