A Remark on Mapping Tori of Free Group Endomorphisms
نویسنده
چکیده
Proof. It is well-known that the kernels of the powers of φ stabilize (see for example [3]), that is, there exists k > 0 such that ker(φ) = ker(φ) for all n ≥ k. (This easily follows from the stabilization of ranks of the free groups φ(F ) and from Hopficity of finitely generated free groups.) Put N = ker(φ). Then φ factors through to an injective endomorphism φ : F/N → F/N . The group F/N is isomorphic to φ(F ) ≤ F , so that F/N is a free group of finite rank. Let

Polynomial Maps over p-Adics and Residual Properties of Mapping Tori of Group Endomorphisms
This paper is a continuation of paper [1] where we proved that for every linear finitely generated group G and any injective endomorphism φ of G, the mapping torus of φ is residually finite. The mapping torus of φ is the following ascending HNN extension of G: HNNφ (G) = 〈G, t | txt−1 = φ(x)〉 where x runs over a (finite) generating set of G. Probably, the most important mapping tori are mapping...
متن کاملMapping Tori of Endomorphisms of Free Groups
For a large class of endomorphisms of finitely generated free groups we prove that their mapping tori groups are word-hyperbolic if and only if they don’t contain Baumslag-Solitar subgroups.
متن کاملPolynomial maps over finite fields and residual finiteness of mapping tori of group endomorphisms
We prove that every mapping torus of any free group endomorphism is residually finite. We show how to use a not yet published result of E. Hrushovski to extend our result to arbitrary linear groups. The proof uses algebraic self-maps of affine spaces over finite fields. In particular, we prove that when such a map is dominant, the set of its fixed closed scheme points is Zariski dense in the af...
متن کامل“ The Universal Functorial Lefschetz Invariant ” by Wolfgang Lück
We introduce the universal functorial Lefschetz invariant for endomorphisms of finite CW -complexes in terms of Grothendieck groups of endomorphisms of finitely generated free modules. It encompasses invariants like Lefschetz number, its generalization to the Lefschetz invariant, Nielsen number and L2-torsion of mapping tori. We examine its behaviour under fibrations.
متن کاملEndomorphisms of Compact Abelian Groups Minimize Entropy
The entropy conjecture for tori has been settled a long time ago by Misiurewicz and Przytycki. We show that their result extends from tori to compact and connected abelian groups. We give stronger results for hyperbolic automorphisms. Throughout this paper G denotes a compact and connected metric abelian group. The group operation on G is written additively.
