We also investigate almost normal subgroups of one-relator groups and duality groups.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-23T13:52:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20J05", "20E06", "20E08", "20J05", "20J06", "20F65" ], "keywords": [ "cohomological codimension", "normal subgroup", "fundamental group", "one-relator groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
