Building Groups From Restricted Diagrams of Groups

Abstract

We consider the problem of realizing a group as the fundamental group of a graph of groups where the vertex groups are restricted to certain classes (for example, coming from a certain finite list of groups, or having bounded geometric rank). We show how this places restrictions on the possible groups that can be realized and we give a topological application of our results to the problem of constructing manifolds from a finite set of "building blocks".
