Finite index subgroups of fully residually free groups

Group Theory 2021-07-14 v1

Abstract

Using graph-theoretic techniques for f.g. subgroups of FZ[t]F^{\mathbb{Z}[t]} we provide a criterion for a f.g. subgroup of a f.g. fully residually free group to be of finite index. Moreover, we show that this criterion can be checked effectively. Also we obtain an analogue of Greenberg-Stallings Theorem for f.g. fully residually free groups, and prove that a f.g. non-abelian subgroup of a f.g. fully residually free group is of finite index in its commensurator.
