Infinite Presentability of Groups and Condensation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe various classes of infinitely presented groups that are condensation points in the space of marked groups. A well-known class of such groups consists of finitely generated groups admitting an infinite minimal presentation. We introduce here a larger class of condensation groups, called infinitely independently presentable groups, and establish criteria which allow one to infer that a group is infinitely independently presentable. In addition, we construct examples of finitely generated groups with no minimal presentation, among them infinitely presented groups with Cantor–Bendixson rank 1, and we prove that every infinitely presented metabelian group is a condensation group.

Finitely Presentable, Non-hopfian Groups with Kazhdan’s Property and Infinite Outer Automorphism Group
We give simple examples of finitely presented Kazhdan groups with infinite outer automorphism groups, as arithmetic lattices in Lie groups. This answers a question of Paulin, independently answered by Ollivier and Wise by completely different methods. We also use results of Abels about compact presentability of p-adic groups to exhibit a finitely presented non-Hopfian Kazhdan group. This answer...

متن کاملGroups Not Presentable by Products
In this paper we study obstructions to presentability by products for finitely generated groups. Along the way we develop both the concept of acentral subgroups, and the relations between presentability by products on the one hand, and certain geometric and measure or orbit equivalence invariants of groups on the other. This leads to many new examples of groups not presentable by products, incl...
متن کاملPresentation of Hyperbolic Kac–moody Groups over Rings
Tits has defined Kac–Moody and Steinberg groups over commutative rings, providing infinite dimensional analogues of the Chevalley–Demazure group schemes. Here we establish simple explicit presentations for all Steinberg and Kac–Moody groups whose Dynkin diagrams are hyperbolic and simply laced. Our presentations are analogues of the Curtis–Tits presentation of the finite groups of Lie type. Whe...
