Research Interests
I work on infinite groups and 3-manifolds. Specifically, my interests include:
1) Geometric Group Theory
including the following subjects:
Word Hyperbolic Groups, CAT(0) Groups, Automatic
Groups.
2) Coherent Groups .A group G is coherent, if every finitely generated
subgroup of G is finitely presented.
3) Residual Finiteness and Subgroup Separability.
A group G is residually finite, if the trivial subgroup is the
intersection of finite index subgroups of G.
G
is subgroup separable, if every finitely generated subgroup is the
intersection of finite index subgroups of G.
4) 3-Manifolds. My research in 3-manifolds has
focused on coherence and subgroup separability.
Some of my colleagues in Montreal with related interests are
Mikael
Pichot who studies analytic aspects of infinite
groups and
Steven Boyer
who is a 3-manifold theorist.
