Abelianization conjectures for some arithmetic square complex groups
Diego Rattaggi
We extend a conjecture of Kimberley-Robertson on the abelianizations of certain square complex groups.
An incoherent simple group
Diego Rattaggi
We give an example of a finitely presented simple group containing a finitely generated subgroup which is not finitely presented.
Three amalgams with remarkable normal subgroup structures
Diego Rattaggi
We construct three groups , , , which can all be decomposed as amalgamated products and have very few normal subgroups of finite or infinit…
On infinite groups generated by two quaternions
Diego Rattaggi
Let , be two integral quaternions of norm and , respectively, where , are distinct odd prime numbers. We investigate the structure of , the multiplicati…
A finitely presented torsion-free simple group
Diego Rattaggi
We construct a finitely presented torsion-free simple group , acting cocompactly on a product of two regular trees. An infinite family of such groups has been introduced by Bu…
Anti-tori in square complex groups
Diego Rattaggi
An anti-torus is a subgroup in the fundamental group of a compact non-positively curved space , acting in a specific way on the universal covering space such…
