Abstract

Let GG be a finitely presented group that can be written as an extension 1KGF21 1 \longrightarrow K \longrightarrow G \longrightarrow F_2 \longrightarrow 1 where KK is either the finitely generated free group FnF_n, n>2n > 2 or the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus g>1g > 1. We prove that if the image of the monodromy map ρ ⁣:F2Out(K)\rho \colon F_2 \to \operatorname{Out(K)} contains an element φOut(K)\varphi \in \operatorname{Out(K)} such that the mapping torus KφZK \rtimes_{\varphi} \Bbb{Z} is virtually residually finite rationally solvable (for instance whenever the mapping torus is hyperbolic), then GG is not coherent. This applies, in particular, when the image is a purely pseudo--Anosov free subgroups of the mapping class group.
