A family of two-generator non-Hopfian groups

Abstract: We construct

2

-generator non-Hopfian groups

G_{m}, m = 3, 4, 5, d o t s

, where each

G_{m}

has a specific presentation

G_{m} = l a n g l e a, b, |, u_{r_{m, 0}} = u_{r_{m, 1}} = u_{r_{m, 2}} = c d o t s = 1 a n g l e

which satisfies small cancellation conditions

C (4)

and

T (4)

. Here,

u_{r_{m, i}}

is the single relator of the upper presentation of the

2

-bridge link group of slope

r_{m, i}

, where

r_{m, 0} = [m + 1, m, m]

and

r_{m, i} = [m + 1, m - 1, (i - 1) l a n g l e m a n g l e, m + 1, m]

in continued fraction expansion for every integer

i g e 1

.
