Weak commutativity and finiteness properties of groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the group mathfrakX(G) obtained from GastG by forcing each element g in the first free factor to commute with the copy of g in the second free factor. Deceptively complicated finitely presented groups arise from this construction: mathfrakX(G) is finitely presented if and only if G is finitely presented, but if F is a non-abelian free group of finite rank then mathfrakX(F) has a subgroup of finite index whose third homology is not finitely generated.
