On fully residually-R groups

Publication:5740557



Abstract: We consider the class mathcalR of finitely generated toral relatively hyperbolic groups. We show that groups from mathcalR are commutative transitive and generalize a theorem proved by Benjamin Baumslag to this class. We also discuss two definitions of (fully) residually-mathcalC groups and prove the equivalence of the two definitions for mathcalC=mathcalR. This is a generalization of the similar result obtained by Ol'shanskii for mathcalC being the class of torsion-free hyperbolic groups. Let GammainmathcalR be non-abelian and non-elementary. We prove that every finitely generated fully residually-Gamma group embeds into a group from mathcalR. On the other hand, we give an example of a finitely generated torsion-free fully residually-mathcalH group that does not embed into a group from mathcalR; mathcalH is the class of hyperbolic groups.
