Finite normal subgroups of strongly verbally closed groups

Abstract

In the recent paper by A. A. Klyachko, V. Yu. Miroshnichenko, and A. Yu. Olshanskii, it is proven that the center of any finite strongly verbally closed group is its direct factor. One of the results of the current paper is the generalization of this nontrivial fact to the case of finite normal subgroups of any strongly verbally closed groups. It follows from this generalization that finitely generated nilpotent groups with nonabelian torsion subgroups are not strongly verbally closed.

Margulis-Soifer theorem for one-relator groups

We establish the Margulis-Soifer dichotomy for one-relator groups: every one-relator group is either virtually solvable or has a maximal subgroup of infinite index. We also present examples of one-relator groups with and without free maximal subgroups of infinite index, as well as examples that possess both free and non-free infinite index maximal subgroups. Triviality of the Frattini subgroup is also shown for all non-solvable one-relator groups. We close the paper with a short list of questions.

Finite quotients of spherical Artin groups

We show the smallest non-abelian quotients of spherical and affine Artin groups are isomorphic to the smallest non-abelian quotients of the corresponding Coxeter groups. We deduce irreducible spherical Artin groups are determined by their finite quotient groups.

Cosets with constant characteristic polynomial

Let H be a linear group. We show that if there is an invertible matrix x such that all the elements of xH share the same characteristic polynomial then H is virtually solvable. There are plenty of applications that will be presented in future paper. Here, we discuss some applications to the generalized Weigold conjecture and present an alternative straightforward proof of the Formanek--Procesi nonlinearity theorem for Aut(F_n), n>2, over every field. When n>5 our non-linearity proof gives a stronger result than the original Formanek--Procesi theorem.
