A Non-hopfian Almost Convex Group

چکیده
In this article we prove that an isometric multiple HNN extension of a group satisfying the falsification by fellow traveler property is almost convex. As a corollary, Wise’s example of a CAT(0) non-Hopfian group is almost convex.

A Non-hopfian Group by Gilbert Baumslag
The purpose of this note is to construct a non-hopfian and finitely generated group 5 which is in no way complicated. This group S is a generalised free square of the free nilpotent group A of class two on two generators. Since A satisfies the maximum condition, S differs radically from the non-hopfian groups constructed by Graham Higman [ l ] , with which it may be compared. I t may perhaps be...
متن کاملNecessary and Sufficient Conditions for S-hopfian Manifolds to Be Codimension-2 Fibrators
Fibrators help detect approximate fibrations. A closed, connected n-manifold N is called a codimension-2 fibrator if each map p : M → B defined on an (n + 2)-manifold M such that all fibre p−1(b), b ∈ B, are shape equivalent to N is an approximate fibration. The most natural objects N to study are s-Hopfian manifolds. In this note we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for s-Hopfian m...
متن کاملBraid Groups Are Almost Co-hopfian
We prove that the braid group on 4 or more strands modulo its center is co-Hopfian. We then show that any injective endomorphism of these braid groups is geometric in the sense that it is induced by a homeomorphism of a punctured disk. We further prove that any injection from the braid group on n strands to the braid group on n + 1 strands is geometric (n ≥ 7). Additionally, we obtain related r...
متن کاملEndomorphisms of Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
We generalize some results of Paulin and Rips-Sela on endomorphisms of hyperbolic groups to relatively hyperbolic groups, and in particular prove the following. • If G is a non-elementary relatively hyperbolic group with slender parabolic subgroups, and either G is not co-Hopfian or Out(G) is infinite, then G splits over a slender group. • If H is a non-parabolic subgroup of a relatively hyperb...
متن کاملCofinitely Hopfian Groups, Open Mappings and Knot Complements
A group Γ is defined to be cofinitely Hopfian if every homomorphism Γ → Γ whose image is of finite index is an automorphism. Geometrically significant groups enjoying this property include certain relatively hyperbolic groups and many lattices. A knot group is cofinitely Hopfian if and only if the knot is not a torus knot. A free-by-cyclic group is cofinitely Hopfian if and only if it has trivi...
