Abstract

A sufficient condition for the existence of HNN-extensions in the class of groups of odd exponent n1n \gg 1 is given in the following form. Let QQ be a group of odd exponent n>248n > 2^{48} and G\mathcal G be an HNN-extension of QQ. If AGA \in \mathcal G then let F(A)\mathcal F(A) denote the maximal subgroup of QQ which is normalized by AA. By τA\tau_A denote the automorphism of F(A)\mathcal F(A) which is induced by conjugation by AA. Suppose that for every AGA \in \mathcal G, which is not conjugate to an element of QQ, the group <τA,F(A)><\tau_A, \mathcal F(A)> has exponent nn and, in addition, equalities Akq0Ak=qkA^{-k} q_0 A^{k} = q_k, where qkQq_k \in Q and k=0,1,...,[216n]k =0, 1, ..., [2^{-16}n] ([216n][2^{-16}n] is the integer part of 216n2^{-16}n), imply that q0F(A)q_0 \in \mathcal F(A). Then the group QQ naturally embeds in the quotient G/Gn\mathcal G / \mathcal G^n, that is, there exists an analog of the HNN-extension G\mathcal G of QQ in the class of groups of exponent nn.
