Residual Separability of Subgroups in Free Products with Amalgamated Subgroup of Finite Index

Аннотация

Let P be the free product of groups A and B with amalgamated subgroup H, where H is a proper subgroup of finite index in A and B. We assume that the groups A and B satisfy a nontrivial identity and for each natural n the number of all subgroups of index n in A and B is finite. We prove that all cyclic subgroups in P are residually separable if and only if P is residually finite and all cyclic subgroups in H are residually separable; and all finitely generated subgroups in P are residually separable if and only if P is residually finite and all subgroups that are the intersections of H with finitely generated subgroups of P are finitely separable in H.
