AbstractThe structure of locally soluble periodic groups in which every abelian subgroup is locally cyclic was described over 20 years ago. We complete the aforementioned characterization by dealing with the non-periodic case. We also describe the structure of locally finite groups in which all abelian subgroups are locally cyclic.

AbstractGroups in which every infinite set of subgroups contains a pair that permute were studied by M. Curzio, J. Lennox, A. Rhemtulla and J. Wiegold. The question whether periodic groups in this class were locally finite was left open. Here we show that if the generators of such a group G are periodic then G is locally finite. This enables us to get the following characterisation. A finitely generated group G is centre-by-finite if and only if every infinite set of subgroups of G contains a pair that permute.

Finitely Presented

AbstractIn this paper we survey and reflect upon several aspects of the theory of infinite finitely generated and finitely presented groups that were originally motivated by work of Gilbert Baumslag. All but the last of the topics we have chosen are all related in one way or another to the theory of limit groups and the solution of the Tarski problems. These include the residually free and fully residually free properties and the big powers condition; Baumslag doubles and extensions of centralizers; residually-𝒳 groups and extensions of results of Benjamin Baumslag and finally the relationship between CT and CSA groups.

By Products

In various classes of infinite groups, we identify groups that are presentable by products, i.e. groups having finite index subgroups which are quotients of products of two commuting infinite subgroups. The classes we discuss here include groups of small virtual cohomological dimension and irreducible Zariski dense subgroups of appropriate algebraic groups. This leads to applications to groups of positive deficiency, to fundamental groups of three-manifolds and to Coxeter groups. For finitely generated groups presentable by products we discuss the problem of whether the factors in a presentation by products may be chosen to be finitely generated.

Abelian Subgroups

We were concerned in [12] with groups G that are isomorphic to all of their non-abelian subgroups. In order to exclude groups with all proper subgroups abelian, which are well understood in the finite case [7] and which include Tarski groups in the infinite case, we restricted attention to the class X of groups G that are isomorphic to their nonabelian subgroups and that contain proper subgroups of this type; such groups are easily seen to be 2-generator, and a complete classification was given in [12, Theorem 2] for the case G soluble. In the insoluble case, G/Z(G) is infinite simple [12; Theorem 1], though not much else was said in [12] about such groups. Here we examine a property which represents a natural generalisation of that discussed above. Let us say that a group G belongs to the class W if G is isomorphic to each of its non-nilpotent subgroups and not every proper subgroup of G is nilpotent. Firstly, note that finite groups in which all proper subgroups are nilpotent are (again) well understood [9]. In addition, much is known about infinite groups with all proper subgroups nilpotent (see, in particular, [8] and [13] for further discussion) although, even in the locally nilpotent case, there are still some gaps in our understanding of such groups. We content ourselvesin the present paper with discussing finitely generated W-groups— note that a W-group is certainly finitely generated or locally nilpotent. We shall have a little more to say about the locally nilpotent case below.

Let G be a finitely generated group. The Bieri–Neumann–Strebel invariant Σ1(G) of G determines, among other things, the distribution of finitely generated subgroups N◃G with G/N abelian. This invariant can be quite difficult to compute. Given a finite presentation 〈S:R〉 for G, there is an algorithm, introduced by Brown and extended by Bieri and Strebel, which determines a space Σ(R) that is always contained in, and is sometimes equal to, Σ1(G). We refine this algorithm to one which involves the local structure of the universal cover of the standard 2-complex of a given presentation. Let Ψ(R) denote the space determined by this algorithm. We show that Σ(R) ⊆ Ψ ⊆ Σ1(G) for any finitely presented group G, and if G admits a staggered presentation, then Ψ = Σ1(G). By casting this algorithm in terms of connectivity properties of graphs, it is shown to be computationally feasible.
