On $p$-deficiency in groups

Group Theory 2016-11-22 v2

Abstract

Recently, Schlage-Puchta proved super multiplicity of pp-deficiency for normal subgroups of pp-power index. We extend this result to all normal subgroups of finite index. We then use the methods of the proof to show that some groups with non-positive pp-deficiency have virtually positive pp-deficiency. We also compute the pp-deficiency in some cases such as Fuchsian groups and study related invariants: the lower and upper absolute pp-homology gradients and the pp-Euler characteristic.
