Exponential Iterated Integrals and the Relative Solvable Completion of the Fundamental Group of a Manifold

Algebraic hulls of solvable groups and exponential iterated integrals on solvmanifolds

We represent the coordinate ring of algebraic hulls (which are generalizations of the Malcev completions of nilpotent groups for solvable groups) of solvmanifolds $G/Γ$ by using Miller's exponential iterated integrals (which are extensions of Chen's iterated integrals) of invariant differential forms.

Linear Independence of Knots Arising from Iterated Infection Without the Use of Tristram Levine Signatures

We give an explicit construction of linearly independent families of knots arbitrarily deep in the (n)-solvable filtration of the knot concordance group using the ρ^1-invariant. A difference between previous constructions of infinite rank subgroups in the concordance group and ours is that the deepest infecting knots in the construction we present are allowed to have vanishing Tristram-Levine signatures.

Homology and derived series of groups

In 1964, John Stallings established an important relationship between the low-dimensional homology of a group and its lower central series. We establish a similar relationship between the low-dimensional homology of a group and its derived series. We also define a torsion-free-solvable completion of a group that is analogous to the Malcev completion, with the role of the lower central series replaced by the derived series. We prove that the torsion-free-solvable completion is invariant under rational homology equivalence.

Coxeter Groups, 2-Completion, Perimeter Reduction and Subgroup Separability

We show that all groups in a very large class of Coxeter groups are locally quasiconvex and have uniform membership problem solvable in quadratic time. If a group in the class satisfies a further hypothesis it is subgroup separable and relevant homomorphisms are also calculable in quadratic time. The algorithm also decides if a finitely generated subgroup has finite index.

Residual properties of 3-manifold groups I: Fibered and hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we classify the geometric 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups are virtually residually $p$. Let $M=M^3$ be a virtually fibered 3-manifold. It is well-known that $G=π_1(M)$ is residually solvable and even residually finite solvable. We prove that $G$ is always virtually residually $p$. Using recent work of Wise, we prove that every hyperbolic 3-manifold is either closed or virtually fibered and hence has a virtually residually $p$ fundamental group. We give some generalizations to pro-$p$ completions of groups, mapping class groups, residually torsion-free ni…
