Measuring the Tameness of Almost Convex Groups

چکیده
A 1-combing for a finitely presented group consists of a continuous family of paths based at the identity and ending at points x in the 1-skeleton of the Cayley 2-complex associated to the presentation. We define two functions (radial and ball tameness functions) that measure how efficiently a 1-combing moves away from the identity. These functions are geometric in the sense that they are quasi-isometry invariants. We show that a group is almost convex if and only if the radial tameness function is bounded by the identity function; hence almost convex groups, as well as certain generalizations of almost convex groups, are contained in the quasi-isometry class of groups admitting linear radial tameness functions.

Tame Combing and Almost Convexity Conditions
We explore relationships between the family of successively weaker almost convexity conditions, and successively weaker tame combing conditions. We show that both Thompson’s group F and the Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(1, p) with p ≥ 3 admit a tame combing with a linear radial tameness function. By earlier work of Belk and Bux showing that F is not minimally almost convex, and of Elder and Hermil...
متن کاملStackable Groups, Tame Filling Invariants, and Algorithmic Properties of Groups
We introduce a combinatorial property for finitely generated groups called stackable that implies the existence of an inductive procedure for constructing van Kampen diagrams with respect to a canonical finite presentation. We also define algorithmically stackable groups, for which this procedure is an effective algorithm. This property gives a common model for algorithms arising from both rewr...
متن کاملElder siblings and the taming of hyperbolic 3-manifolds
A 3-manifold is tame if it is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact manifold with boundary. Marden’s conjecture asserts that any hyperbolic 3-manifold M = H/Γ with π1(M) finitely-generated is tame. This paper presents a criterion for tameness. We show that wildness ofM is detected by large-scale knotting of orbits of Γ. The elder sibling property prevents knotting and implies tameness by a ...
متن کاملEgoroff Theorem for Operator-Valued Measures in Locally Convex Cones
In this paper, we define the almost uniform convergence and the almost everywhere convergence for cone-valued functions with respect to an operator valued measure. We prove the Egoroff theorem for Pvalued functions and operator valued measure θ : R → L(P, Q), where R is a σ-ring of subsets of X≠ ∅, (P, V) is a quasi-full locally convex cone and (Q, W) is a locally ...
