چکیده

A generalized triangle group is a group that can be presented in the form G = 〈 x, y | x = y = w(x, y) = 1 〉 where p, q, r ≥ 2 and w(x, y) is an element of the free product 〈 x, y | x = y = 1 〉 involving both x and y. Rosenberger has conjectured that every generalized triangle group G satisfies the Tits alternative. It is known that the conjecture holds except possibly when the triple (p, q, r) is one of (3, 3, 2), (3, 4, 2), (3, 5, 2), or (2,m, 2) where m = 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60. In this paper we show that the Tits alternative holds in the cases (p, q, r) = (2,m, 2) where m = 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60.

One-relator Products Induced from Generalized Triangle Groups

We study the quotient of a free product of groups by the normal closure of a word that is contained in a certain type of 2-generator subgroup, and hence can be expressed in the form of a pushout involving a generalized triangle group. Using the theory of generalized triangle groups, we extend the range of conditions under which a number of results for one-relator products of groups, such as the...

The Tits Alternative for Tsaranov's Generalized Tetrahedron Groups

A generalized tetrahedron group is defined to be a group admitting the following presentation: 〈x, y, z | x = y = z = W p 1 (x, y) = W q 2 (y, z) = W r 3 (x, z) = 1〉, 2 ≤ l,m, n, p, q, r, where each Wi(a, b) is a cyclically reduced word involving both a and b. These groups appear in many contexts, not least as fundamental groups of certain hyperbolic orbifolds or as subgroups of generalized tri...

The Tits alternative for generalized triangle groups of type ( 3 , 4 , 2 )

A generalized triangle group is a group that can be presented in the form G = x, y | x p = y q = w(x, y) r = 1 where p, q, r ≥ 2 and w(x, y) is a cyclically reduced word of length at least 2 in the free product Z p * Z q = x, y | x p = y q = 1. Rosenberger has conjectured that every generalized triangle group G satisfies the Tits alternative. It is known that the conjecture holds except possibl...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we are interested in studying subgroups of topologized fundamental groups and their influences on generalized covering maps‎. ‎More precisely‎, ‎we find some relationships between generalized covering subgroups and the other famous subgroups of the fundamental group equipped with the compact-open topology and the whisker topology‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we present some conditions unde...
