Decision and Separability Problems for Baumslag-Solitar Semigroups
We show that the semigroups Sk,` having semigroup presentations 〈a, b : abk = b`a〉 are residually finite and finitely separable. Generally, these semigroups have finite separating images which are finite groups and other finite separating images which are semigroups of order-increasing transformations on a finite partially ordered set. These semigroups thus have vastly different residual and se...
متن کاملA Note on Twisted Conjugacy and Generalized Baumslag-solitar Groups
A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is the fundamental group of a graph of groups all of whose vertex and edge groups are infinite cyclic. Levitt proves that any generalized BaumslagSolitar group has property R∞, that is, any automorphism has an infinite number of twisted conjugacy classes. We show that any group quasi-isometric to a generalized Baumslag-Solitar group also has property R∞. Thi...
متن کاملThe Large Scale Geometry of the Higher Baumslag-solitar Groups
BS(m,n) =< x, y|xyx = y > are some of the simplest interesting infinite groups which are not lattices in Lie groups. They have been studied in depth from the point of view of combinatorial group theory. It is natural to ask if the geometric approach to the theory of infinite groups, which has been so successful in the study of lattices, can yield any insights in this nonlinear case. The first s...
متن کاملA Linear-time Algorithm to Compute Geodesics in Solvable Baumslag–solitar Groups
We present an algorithm to convert a word of length n in the standard generators of the solvable Baumslag–Solitar group BS(1, p) into a geodesic word, which runs in linear time and O(n logn) space on a random access machine.
متن کاملA Logspace Solution to the Word and Conjugacy problem of Generalized Baumslag-Solitar Groups
Baumslag-Solitar groups were introduced in 1962 by Baumslag and Solitar as examples for finitely presented non-Hopfian two-generator groups. Since then, they served as examples for a wide range of purposes. As Baumslag-Solitar groups are HNN extensions, there is a natural generalization in terms of graph of groups. Concerning algorithmic aspects of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups, several d...
