Complexes of groups and geometric small cancellation over graphs of groups

Group Theory 2014-02-07 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We explain and generalise a construction due to Gromov to realise geometric small cancellation groups over graphs of groups as fundamental groups of non-positively curved 2-dimensional complexes of groups. We then give conditions so that the hyperbolicity and some finiteness properties of the small cancellation quotient can be deduced from analogous properties for the local groups of the initial graph of groups.
