Review text

The geometrical properties of two classes of cyclically presented groups of Fibonacci type are studied. The first series consists of the so-called generalized Fibonacci groups \(F(r,m,k)\). For these groups, the authors prove that if \(r\) is even and the number of generators \(m\) is odd and coprime with \(r+2k-1\), then \(F(r,m,k)\) cannot be the fundamental group of a hyperbolic 3-orbifold of finite volume. Analogous results are obtained for two extremal cases with \(m=r+2k-1\) (i.e., \(k=1\) and \(r=2\)). For the second series of groups, \(H(r,m,k)\) (as introduced by \textit{C. M. Campbell, E. F. Robertson} [J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 11, 249-255 (1975; Zbl 0309.20011)]), a relation with the generalized Sieradski groups \(S(k,n)\) [\textit{A. Cavicchioli, F. Hegenbarth, A. C. Kim}, Algebra Colloq. 5, No. 2, 203-217 (1998; Zbl 0902.57023)] is established and this allows to conclude that for \(k\geq 2\), \(H(k,2k-1,k-1)\) (which is isomorphic with \(S(k,2k-1)\)) is the fundamental group of a closed 3-manifold which can be obtained as a \((2k-1)\)-fold cyclic covering of the 3-sphere branched over the torus \((2k-1,2)\)-knot.
