On subgroup conjugacy separability of hyperbolic QVH-groups

Abstract

A group GG is called subgroup conjugacy separable (abbreviated as SCS) if any two finitely generated and non-conjugate subgroups of GG remain non-conjugate in some finite quotient of GG. An into-conjugacy version of SCS is abbreviated by SICS. We prove that if GG is a hyperbolic group, H1H_1 is a quasiconvex subgroup of GG, and H2H_2 is a subgroup of GG which is elementwise conjugate into H1H_1, then there exists a finite index subgroup of H2H_2 which is conjugate into H1H_1. As corollary, we deduce that fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds and torsion-free small cancellation groups with finite C(1/6)C'(1/6) or C(1/4)T(4)C'(1/4)-T(4) presentations are hereditarily quasiconvex-SCS and hereditarily quasiconvex-SICS, and that surface groups are SCS and SICS. We also show that the word "quasiconvex" cannot be deleted for at least small cancellation groups.
