Test Groups for Whitehead Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the question of when the dual of a Whitehead group is a test group for Whitehead groups. This turns out to be equivalent to the question of when the tensor product of two Whitehead groups is Whitehead. We investigate what happens in different models of set theory.

A formula for the Whitehead group of a three-dimensional crystallographic group
We give an explicit formula for Whitehead group of a threedimensional crystallographic group Γ in terms of the Whitehead groups of the virtually infinite cyclic subgroups of Γ. 0 Introduction The K-theory of integral group rings of crystallographic groups has been studied by Connolly and Koźniewski [8], Farrell and Hsiang [10], Farrell and Jones [11], Lück and Stamm [15], Quinn [20], Tsapogas [...
متن کاملOn Fox Spaces and Jacobi Identities
In 1945, R. Fox introduced the so-called Fox torus homotopy groups in which the usual homotopy groups are embedded and their Whitehead products are expressed as commutators. A modern treatment of Fox torus homotopy groups and their generalization has been given and studied. In this note, we further explore these groups and their properties. We discuss co-multiplications on Fox spaces and Jacobi...
متن کاملUniformization and the Diversity of Whitehead Groups
The connections between Whitehead groups and uniformization properties were investigated by the third author in [9]. In particular it was essentially shown there that there is a non-free Whitehead (respectively, א1-coseparable) group of cardinality א1 if and only if there is a ladder system on a stationary subset of ω1 which satisfies 2-uniformization (respectively, ω-uniformization).

متن کاملThe Euler Characteristic of the Whitehead Automorphism Group of a Free Product
A combinatorial summation identity over the lattice of labelled hypertrees is established that allows one to gain concrete information on the Euler characteristics of various automorphism groups of free products of groups. In particular, we establish formulae for the Euler characteristics of: the group of Whitehead automorphisms Wh(∗ i=1 Gi) when the Gi are of finite homological type; Aut(∗ i=1...
متن کاملA Whitehead Algorithm for Toral Relatively hyperbolic Groups
The Whitehead problem is solved in the class of toral relatively hyperbolic groups G (i.e. torsion-free relatively hyperbolic groups with abelian parabolic subgroups): there is an algorithm which, given two finite tuples (u1, . . . , un) and (v1, . . . , vn) of elements of G, decides whether there is an automorphism of G taking ui to vi for all i.
