Divergence of finitely presented groups

Publication date 10 February 2020

Abstract: We construct families of finitely presented groups exhibiting new divergence behavior; we obtain divergence functions of the form

r^{a} l p h a

for a dense set of exponents

a l p h a i n [2, i n f t y)

and

r^{n} l o g (r)

for integers

n g e q 2

. The same construction also yields examples of finitely presented groups which contain Morse elements that are not contracting.
