Almost All One-relator Groups with at Least Three Generators Are Residually Finite
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that with probability tending to 1, a 1-relator group with at least 3 generators and the relator of length n is residually finite, virtually residually (finite p)-group for all sufficiently large p, and coherent. The proof uses both combinatorial group theory and non-trivial results about Brownian motions.

Reflections on the residual finiteness of one-relator groups
Let G D ha; b; : : : j r D 1i be a one-relator group equipped with at least two generators. For all w which do not commute with r in the ambient free group on the generators a, b, ..., the groups G.r;w/ D ha; b; : : : j rrw D r2i are not residually finite and have the same finite images as G. The existence of this family of one-relator groups which are not residually finite reinforces what is b...
متن کاملOn the Residual Finiteness and Other Properties of (relative) One-relator Groups
A relative one-relator presentation has the form P = 〈x,H;R〉 where x is a set, H is a group, and R is a word on x±1 ∪H. We show that if the word on x±1 obtained from R by deleting all the terms from H has what we call the unique max-min property, then the group defined by P is residually finite if and only if H is residually finite (Theorem 1). We apply this to obtain new results concerning the...
متن کاملPolynomial 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 کاملOn the Residuality a Finite P-group of Hn N -extensions
A criterion for the HN N-extension of a finite p-group to be residually a finite p-group is obtained and based on this criterion the sufficient condition for residuality a finite p-group of HN N-extension with arbitrary base group is proved. Then these results are applied to give for groups from two classes of one-relator groups the necessary and sufficient condition to be residually a finite p...
متن کاملA NOTE ON POLYCYLIC RESIDUALLY FINITE-p GROUPS
A subgroup H of a residually finite-p group G is almost p-closed in G if H has finite p′-index in ̄̄ H, its closure with respect to the pro-p topology on G. We characterise polycyclic residually finite-p groups in which all subgroups are almost p-closed and discuss a few conditions that are sufficient for particular subgroups H to be almost p-closed. We also present, for each prime p, an example...
