Subgroups of HNN groups

  • D. E. Cohen (a1)
Extract

The purpose of this paper is to give a more precise form of Theorem 1 of [2], which gives a structure theorem for subgroups of HNN groups; we prove the following.

Let H be a subgroup of the HNN group <A, xi;xiU-ixi-1 = Ui>. Then H is an HNN group whose base is a tree product of groups H ∪ wAw-1 where w runs over a set of double coset representatives of (H,A); the amalgamated and associated subgroups are all of the form H ∊ vUiv-l for some v. We can be more precise about which subgroups occur and about the tree product. We will also obtain stronger forms of other results in [1] and [2].
