Residual finiteness and separability of quasi-convex subgroups
Friday November 9, 2007
11:30AM - 12:20PM
Speakers:
Jason Manning
Abstract:
It is an open question whether every hyperbolic group is residually finite. A related question is whether quasi-convex subgroups of hyperbolic groups are separable (that is, whether elements can be separated from them in finite quotients). Group theoretic Dehn filling turns out to be useful tool for understanding the relationship between these questions. This is joint work with Ian Agol and Daniel Groves.
