Abstract: By constructing, in the relative case, objects analoguous to Rips and Sela's canonical representatives, we prove that the set of images by morphisms without accidental parabolic, of a finitely presented group in a relatively hyperbolic group, is finite, up to conjugacy.

Review text

Originally, the notion of a relatively hyperbolic group was proposed by \textit{M. Gromov} [Essays in group theory, Publ., Math. Sci. Res. Inst. 8, 75-263 (1987; Zbl 0634.20015)] in order to generalize various examples of algebraic and geometric nature of fundamental groups of finite-volume non-compact Riemannian manifolds of pinched negative curvature. Gromov's idea has been elaborated by \textit{B. H. Bowditch} in his preprint [Relatively hyperbolic groups (Univ. Southampton) (1998)]. In 1994 \textit{B. Farb}, in his PhD Univ. Princeton thesis [published as article in Geom. Funct. Anal. 8, No. 5, 810-840 (1998; Zbl 0985.20027)], proposed an alternative approach. We need the following definition to formulate the main result of the paper under review. We say that a morphism from a group in a relatively hyperbolic group \(h\colon G\to\Gamma\) has an accidental parabolic if either \(h(G)\) is finite or parabolic in \(\Gamma\), or if \(h\) can be factorized through a non-trivial amalgamated free product \(f\colon G\to A*_CB\) or HNN extension \(F\colon G\to A*_C\) where \(f\) and \(F\) are surjective, and the image of \(C\) is either finite or parabolic in \(\Gamma\). The main result of the paper is the following: Let \(G\) be a finitely presented group and \(\Gamma\) a relatively hyperbolic group. Then there are finitely many subgroups of \(\Gamma\), up to conjugacy, that are images of \(G\) in \(\Gamma\) by a morphism without accidental parabolic. In the proof are used the ideas of \textit{T. Delzant} [Comment. Math. Helv. 70, No. 2, 267-284 (1995; Zbl 0834.20038)] and \textit{E. Rips} and \textit{Z. Sela} [Invent. Math. 120, No. 3, 489-512 (1995; Zbl 0845.57002)].
