Separating cyclic subgroups in graph products of groups

Group Theory 2019-05-16 v2

Abstract

We prove that the property of being cyclic subgroup separable, that is having all cyclic subgroups closed in the profinite topology, is preserved under forming graph products. Furthermore, we develop the tools to study the analogous question in the pro-pp case. For a wide class of groups we show that the relevant cyclic subgroups - which are called pp-isolated - are closed in the pro-pp topology of the graph product. In particular, we show that every pp-isolated cyclic subgroup of a right-angled Artin group is closed in the pro-pp topology, and we fully characterise such subgroups.
