Limits of relatively hyperbolic groups and Lyndon's completions. (Q2428714): Difference between revisions

Summary: We describe finitely generated groups \(H\) universally equivalent (with constants from \(G\) in the language) to a given torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group \(G\) with free Abelian parabolics. It turns out that, as in the free group case, the group \(H\) embeds into the Lyndon's completion \(G^{\mathbb Z[t]}\) of the group \(G\), or, equivalently, \(H\) embeds into a group obtained from \(G\) by finitely many extensions of centralizers. Conversely, every subgroup of \(G^{\mathbb Z[t]}\) containing \(G\) is universally equivalent to \(G\). Since finitely generated groups universally equivalent to \(G\) are precisely the finitely generated groups discriminated by \(G\), the result above gives a description of finitely generated groups discriminated by \(G\). Moreover, these groups are exactly the coordinate groups of irreducible algebraic sets over \(G\).
