Separability properties of higher-rank GBS groups

Group Theory 2025-01-31 v3

Abstract

A rank nn generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is a group that splits as a finite graph of groups such that all vertex and edge groups are isomorphic to Zn\mathbb{Z}^n. In this paper we classify these groups in terms of their separability properties. Specifically, we determine when they are residually finite, subgroup separable and cyclic subgroup separable.
