Conjugacy Distinguished Subgroups

Group Theory 2015-09-25 v2

Abstract

Let C{\cal C} be a nonempty class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, homomorphic images and extensions. A subgroup HH of an abstract residually C{\cal C} group RR is said to be conjugacy C{\cal C}-distinguished if whenever yRy\in R, then yy has a conjugate in HH if and only if the same holds for the images of yy and HH in every quotient group R/NCR/N\in {\cal C} of RR. We prove that in a group having a normal free subgroup Φ\Phi such that R/ΦR/\Phi is in C{\cal C}, every finitely generated subgroup is conjugacy C{\cal C}-distinguished. We also prove that finitely generated subgroups of limit groups, of Lyndon groups and certain one-relator groups are conjugacy distinguished (C{\cal C} here is the class of all finite groups).
