Residually Finite Groups

The recent constructions, by Rips and Olshanskii, of infinite groups with all proper subgroups of prime order, and similar ‘monsters’, show that even under the imposition of apparently very strong finiteness conditions, the structure of infinite groups can be rather weird. Thus it seems reasonable to impose the type of condition that enables us to apply the theory of finite groups. Two such conditions are local finiteness and residual finiteness, and here we are interested in the latter. Specifically, we consider residually finite groups of finite rank, where a group is said to have rank r, if all finitely generated subgroups of it can be generated by r elements. Recall that a group is said to be virtually of some property, if it has a subgroup of finite index with this property. We prove the following result:Theorem 1. A residually finite group of finite rank is virtually locally soluble.

Here we characterize the residually finite groups G which are the fundamental groups of a finite graph of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups. Namely we show that G is residually finite if and only if for each edge group of the graph of groups the two edge monomorphisms differ essentially by an isomorphism of certain subgroups of the Mal'cev completion of the corresponding vertex groups.

AbstractIn this paper we study non-negatively curved and rationally elliptic GKM$$_4$$ 4 manifolds and orbifolds. We show that their rational cohomology rings are isomorphic to the rational cohomology of certain model orbifolds. These models are quotients of isometric actions of finite groups on non-negatively curved torus orbifolds. Moreover, we give a simplified proof of a characterisation of products of simplices among orbit spaces of locally standard torus manifolds. This characterisation was originally proved in Wiemeler (J Lond Math Soc 91(3): 667–692, 2015) and was used there to obtain a classification of non-negatively curved torus manifolds.

Conditions sufficient to guarantee that a generalized free product of two residually finite groups A and B is again residually finite have been given by Baumslag [1]. We here show the same conditions guarantee that a certain permutational product of A and B is also residually finite.
