Subgroup Properties of Fully Residually Free Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that fully residually free groups have the Howson property, that is the intersection of any two finitely generated subgroups in such a group is again finitely generated. We also establish some commensurability properties for finitely generated fully residually free groups which are similar to those of free groups. Finally we prove that for a finitely generated fully residually free group the membership problem is solvable with respect to any finitely generated subgroup.

Finite Index Subgroups of Fully Residually Free Groups
Using graph-theoretic techniques for f.g. subgroups of F we provide a criterion for a f.g. subgroup of a f.g. fully residually free group to be of finite index. Moreover, we show that this criterion can be checked effectively. Also we obtain an analogue of Greenberg-Stallings Theorem for f.g. fully residually free groups, and prove that a f.g. non-abelian subgroup of a f.g. fully residually fre...
متن کاملResidual P-Finiteness of Certain Generalized Free Products of Nilpotent Groups
We show that free products of finitely generated and residually p-finite nilpotent groups, amalgamating p-closed central subgroups are residually p-finite. As a consequence, we are able to show that generalized free products of residually p-finite abelian groups are residually p-finite if the amalgamated subgroup is closed in the pro-p topology on each of the factors.
متن کاملSubgroup Separability in Residually Free Groups
We prove that the finitely presentable subgroups of residually free groups are separable and that the subgroups of type FP∞ are virtual retracts. We describe a uniform solution to the membership problem for finitely presentable subgroups of residually free groups.
متن کاملFully Residually Free Groups and Graphs Labeled by Infinite Words
Let F = F (X) be a free group with basis X and Z[t] be a ring of polynomials with integer coefficients in t. In this paper we develop a theory of (Z[t], X)-graphs a powerful tool in studying finitely generated fully residually free (limit) groups. This theory is based on the Kharlampovich-Myasnikov characterization of finitely generated fully residually free groups as subgroups of the Lyndon’s ...
متن کاملAspherical fully residually free Kähler groups are Fuchsian
In this note, we prove that an aspherical fully residually free Kähler group is Fuchsian. One instances of this shows that cocompact lattices in PU(1, n) for n > 1 cannot be residually free. The proof uses some recent work of Delzant and Gromov.
