Let G be a group and g a non-trivial element in G. If some nonempty finite product of conjugates of g equals to the trivial element, then g is called a generalized torsion element. To the best of our knowledge, we have no hyperbolic 3–manifold groups with generalized torsion elements whose rank is explicitly known to be greater than two. The aim of this short note is to demonstrate that for a given integer n > 1 there are infinitely many closed hyperbolic 3–manifolds Mn which enjoy the property…

Generalized torsion and decomposition of 3–manifolds
A nontrivial element in a group is a generalized torsion element if some nonempty finite product of its conjugates is the identity. We prove that any generalized torsion element in a free product of…

In a group, a generalized torsion element is a non-identity element whose some non-empty finite product of its conjugates yields the identity. Such an element is an obstruction for a group to be…

Abstract In a group, a nonidentity element is called a generalized torsion element if some product of its conjugates equals the identity. We show that for many classical knots one can ûnd generalized…

A knot K is called an arborescent knot if it can be obtained by summing and gluing several rational tangles together, see [7] or below for more detailed definitions. Recall that a 3-manifold is…
Generalized torsion elements in the knot groups of twist knots
It is well known that any knot group is torsion-free, but it may admit a generalized torsion element. We show that the knot group of any negative twist knot admits a generalized torsion element. This…
