Abstract

Let G\mathcal G denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. For any finitely generated group GG, we construct a continuous, injective map ff from the space of subgroups Sub(G)Sub(G) to G\mathcal G that sends conjugate subgroups to isomorphic marked groups; in addition, if GG is finitely presented and HGH\le G is finitely generated, then f(H)f(H) is finitely presented. This result allows us to transfer various topological phenomena occurring in Sub(G)Sub(G) to G\mathcal G. In particular, we provide the first example of a finitely presented group whose isomorphism class in G\mathcal G has no isolated points.
