JSJ decompositions and polytopes for two-generator one-relator groups

Group Theory 2025-10-22 v3 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We provide a direct connection between the Z_{max} (or essential) JSJ decomposition and the Friedl--Tillmann polytope of a hyperbolic two-generator one-relator group with abelianisation of rank 22. We deduce various structural and algorithmic properties, like the existence of a quadratic-time algorithm computing the Z_{max}-JSJ decomposition of such groups.
