Virtually Compact Special Hyperbolic Groups Are Conjugacy Separable
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that any word hyperbolic group which is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) is conjugacy separable. As a consequence we deduce that all word hyperbolic Coxeter groups and many classical small cancellation groups are conjugacy separable. To get the main result we establish a new criterion for showing that elements of prime order are conjugacy distinguished. This criterion is of independent interest; its proof is based on a combination of discrete and profinite (co)homology theories.

A Combination Theorem for Special Cube Complexes
We prove that certain compact cube complexes have special finite covers. This means they have finite covers whose fundamental groups are quasiconvex subgroups of right-angled Artin groups. As a result we obtain, linearity and the separability of quasiconvex subgroups, for the groups we consider. Our result applies in particular to compact negatively curved cube complexes whose hyperplanes don’t...

متن کاملConjugacy 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 کاملOn the residual finiteness of outer automorphisms of hyperbolic groups
We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer automorphism group of a conjugacy separable hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a result, we are able to prove that the group of outer automorphisms of every finitely generated Fuchsian group and of every free-by-finite group is residually finite.

We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer au-tomorphism group of a conjugacy separable hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a result, we are able to prove that the group of outer automorphisms of every finitely generated Fuchsian group and of every free-by-finite group is residually finite. In an addendum, we also generalise the main result for relatively hyperbolic g...
