This analysis uncovers conditions for residual properties in HNN-extensions, suggesting implications in group theory.
Let ๐ผ be the HNN-extension of a group ๐ต with subgroups ๐ป and ๐พ associated by an isomorphism <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:mrow> <m:mi>ฯ</m:mi> <m:mo lspace="0.278em" rspace="0.278em">:</m:mo> <m:mrow> <m:mi>H</m:mi> <m:mo stretchy="false">โ</m:mo> <m:mi>K</m:mi> </m:mrow> </m:mrow> </m:math> ฯ Hโ K . Suppose that ๐ป and ๐พ are normal in ๐ต and <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <m:mrow> <m:mrow> <m:mrow> <m:mo stretchy="false">(</m:mo> <m:mrow> <m:mi>H</m:mi> <m:mo>โฉ</m:mo> <m:mi>K</m:mi> </m:mrow> <m:mo stretchy="false">)</m:mo> </m:mrow> <m:mo>โข</m:mo> <m:mi>ฯ</m:mi> </m:mrow> <m:mo>=</m:mo> <m:mrow> <m:mi>H</m:mi> <m:mo>โฉ</m:mo> <m:mi>K</m:mi> </m:mrow> </m:mrow> </m:math> (Hโฉ K)ฯ=Hโฉ K . Under these assumptions, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for ๐ผ to be residually a ๐-group, where ๐ is a class of groups closed under taking subgroups, quotient groups, and unrestricted wreath products. Among other things, these conditions give new facts on the residual finiteness and the residual ๐-finiteness of the group ๐ผ.
