Abstract

We show that if GG is a group of type FPn+1Z2FP_{n+1}^{\mathbb{Z}_2} that is coarsely separated into three essential, coarse disjoint, coarse complementary components by a coarse PDnZ2PD_n^{\mathbb{Z}_2} space W,W, then WW is at finite Hausdorff distance from a subgroup HH of GG; moreover, GG splits over a subgroup commensurable to a subgroup of HH. We use this to deduce that splittings of the form G=AHBG=A*_HB, where GG is of type FPn+1Z2FP_{n+1}^{\mathbb{Z}_2} and HH is a coarse PDnZ2PD_n^{\mathbb{Z}_2} group such that both CommA(H):H|\mathrm{Comm}_A(H): H| and CommB(H):H|\mathrm{Comm}_B(H): H| are greater than two, are invariant under quasi-isometry.
