The Isomorphism Problem for Toral Relatively Hyperbolic Groups
Abstract
We provide a solution to the isomorphism problem for torsion-free relatively hyperbolic groups with abelian parabolics. As special cases we recover solutions to the isomorphism problem for: (i) torsion-free hyperbolic groups (Sela); and (ii) fully residually free groups (Bumagin, Kharlampovich and Miasnikov). We also give a solution to the homeomorphism problem for finite volume hyperbolic n-manifolds, for . In the course of the proof of the main result, we prove that a particular JSJ decomposition of a freely indecomposable torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group with abelian parabolics is algorithmically constructible.

Version 3 is 90 pages (the increased length is due mostly to typesetting). Lots of rewriting due to referee's comments. Publications Mathematiques de l'IHES, to appear
