Effective embedding of residually hyperbolic groups into direct products of extensions of centralizers

Abstract

For any torsion-free hyperbolic group Γ\Gamma and any group GG that is fully residually Γ\Gamma, we construct algorithmically a finite collection of homomorphisms from GG to groups obtained from Γ\Gamma by extensions of centralizers, at least one of which is injective. When GG is residually Γ\Gamma, this gives a effective embedding of GG into a direct product of such groups. We also give an algorithmic construction of a diagram encoding the set of homomorphisms from a given finitely presented group to Γ\Gamma.
