Finiteness properties and subgroups of hyperbolic groups
We present new constructions of subgroups of hyperbolic groups that satisfy certain finiteness properties. In particular, we present a new construction of a hyperbolic group with a finitely presented…
Morse theory and conjugacy classes of finite subgroups II
We construct a hyperbolic group containing a finitely presented subgroup, which has infinitely many conjugacy classes of finite-order elements. We also use a version of Morse theory with high…
Finiteness properties of arithmetic groups over function fields
We determine when an arithmetic subgroup of a reductive group defined over a global function field is of type FP∞ by comparing its large-scale geometry to the large-scale geometry of lattices in real…
On finite subgroups of groups of type VF
For any finite group Q not of prime power order, we construct a group G that is virtually of type F , contains infinitely many conjugacy classes of subgroups isomorphic to Q, and contains only…
Homological and finiteness properties of picture groups
Picture groups are a class of groups introduced by Guba and Sapir. Known examples include Thompson's groups F, T, and V. In this paper, a large class of picture groups is proved to be of type F∞. A…
Morse theory, random subgraphs, and incoherent groups
We prove that certain polygons of finite groups have finitely generated infinite index normal subgroups, and are hence incoherent. This gives a new family of incoherent Kleinian groups. The method of…
Cohomological finiteness properties of the Brin–Thompson–Higman groups 2V and 3V
Abstract We show that Brin's generalizations 2V and 3V of the Thompson–Higman group V are of type FP∞. Our methods also give a new proof that both groups are finitely presented.
Presentations for subgroups of Artin groups
Recently, M. Bestvina and N. Brady have exhibited groups that are of type FP but not finitely presented. We give explicit presentations for groups of the type considered by Bestvina-Brady. This leads…
