20 Mar 2006 | | Subject: | Group Theory; Geometric Topology | | Abstract: | Poly-free groups are constructed as iterated semidirect products of free groups. The class of poly-free groups includes the classical pure braid groups, fundamental groups of fiber-type hyperplane arrangements, and certain subgroups of the automorphism groups of free groups. The purpose of this article is to compute centralizers of certain natural Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra obtained from the descending central series of poly-free groups G including some of the geometrically interesting classes of groups mentioned above. The main results here extend results of Cohen and Prassidis for such groups. These results imply that a homomorphism out of G is faithful, essentially, if it is faithful when restricted to the level of Lie algebras obtained from the descending central series for the product F x Z, where F is the "top" free group in the semidirect products of free groups and Z is the center of G. The arguments use a mixture of homological, and Lie algebraic methods applied to certain choices of extensions. The limitations of these methods are illustrated using the "poison groups" of Formanek and Procesi, poly-free groups whose Lie algebras do not have certain properties considered here. | | Source: | arXiv, math/0603470 | | Services: | Article forum | Review this article | Full Text PDF | Add to favorites |
