Subgroups of Word Hyperbolic Groups in Dimension 2
نویسنده
چکیده
If G is a word hyperbolic group of cohomological dimension 2, then every subgroup of G of type FP2 is also word hyperbolic. Isoperimetric inequalities are denned for groups of type FP2 and it is shown that the linear isoperimetric inequality in this generalized context is equivalent to word hyperbolicity. A sufficient condition for hyperbolicity of a general graph is given along with an application to 'relative hyperbolicity'. Finitely presented subgroups of Lyndon's small cancellation groups of hyperbolic type are word hyperbolic. Finitely presented subgroups of hyperbolic 1-relator groups are hyperbolic. Finitely presented subgroups of free Burnside groups are finite in the stable range.

Questions on Geometric Group Theory for the Max Dehn Seminar
1. If a closed irreducible 3-manifold has word hyperbolic fundamental group, does it admit a Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature? 2. Is every nitely presented subgroup of a word hyperbolic group word hyperbolic? (Noel Brady Brady] has spoken on an example of nitely presented subgroup H of a word hyperbolic group G where cd(G) = 3 and H is not hyperbolic. I had shown previously that...
متن کاملOn Homological Coherence of Discrete Groups
We explore a weakening of the coherence property of discrete groups studied by F. Waldhausen. The new notion is defined in terms of the coarse geometry of groups and should be as useful for computing their K-theory. We prove that a group Γ of finite asymptotic dimension is weakly coherent. In particular, there is a large collection of R[Γ]-modules of finite homological dimension when R is a fin...
متن کاملAsymptotic Dimension of Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
Suppose that a finitely generated group G is hyperbolic relative to a collection of subgroups {H1, . . . ,Hm}. We prove that if each of the subgroups H1, . . . ,Hm has finite asymptotic dimension, then asymptotic dimension of G is also finite.
متن کاملStraight thin combings
We introduce a class of thin combings and prove that it has a nice behaviour in free constructions. Among corollaries, we deduce the relative metabolicity of Sela’s limit groups. S. Gersten defined the property of metabolicity for finitely presented groups (or even, contractible spaces with bounded geometry in dimension 2) as an attempt of an algebraic approach of word-hyperbolic groups [8] [9]...
متن کاملCombination of Quasiconvex Subgroups of Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
For relatively hyperbolic groups, we investigate conditions under which the subgroup generated by two quasiconvex subgroups Q1 and Q2 is quasiconvex and isomorphic to Q1 ∗Q1∩Q2 Q2. Our results generalized known combination theorems for quasiconvex subgroups of word-hyperbolic groups. Some applications are presented. In addition, it is proved that the intersection of quasiconvex subgroups is qua...
