Homological and topological properties of locally indicable groups
Tóm tắt
The classes of locally indicable groups, conservative groups andD-groups have each been defined in a different context, and have been studied for various reasons. These three classes are shown to coincide. The corresponding mod p versions of the classes are also shown to coincide, for any prime p. Applications to topology are given. In particular, new light is shed on work of Adams on a problem of Whitehead concerning asphericity in 2-complexes.
