Weak commutativity for pro-$p$ groups

Group Theory 2019-11-01 v1

Abstract

We define and study a pro-pp version of Sidki's weak commutativity construction. This is the pro-pp group Xp(G)\mathfrak{X}_p(G) generated by two copies GG and GψG^{\psi} of a pro-pp group, subject to the defining relators [g,gψ][g,g^{\psi}] for all gGg \in G. We show for instance that if GG is finitely presented or analytic pro-pp, then Xp(G)\mathfrak{X}_p(G) has the same property. Furthermore we study properties of the non-abelian tensor product and the pro-pp version of Rocco's construction ν(H)\nu(H). We also study finiteness properties of subdirect products of pro-pp groups. In particular we prove a pro-pp version of the (n1)n(n+1)(n-1)-n-(n+1) Theorem.
