We give the first examples of (finitely generated free)-by-(infinite cyclic) word hyperbolic groups which are large, show that a LERF deficiency 1 group with first Betti number at least 2 is large or the integers times the integers, and show that 2-generator 1-relator groups where the relator has height 1 obey the dichotomy that either the group is large or all its finite images are metacyclic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-03-26T20:06:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20F05" ], "keywords": [ "word hyperbolic groups", "first betti number", "finite images", "first examples", "lerf deficiency" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0803.3805B" } } }
