Abstract
Let be a relatively hyperbolic group and let and be relatively quasiconvex subgroups. It is known that there are many pairs of finite index subgroups and such that the subgroup join is also relatively quasiconvex, given suitable assumptions on the profinite topology of . We show that the intersections of such joins with maximal parabolic subgroups of are themselves joins of intersections of the factor subgroups and with maximal parabolic subgroups of . As a consequence, we show that quasiconvex subgroups whose parabolic subgroups are almost compatible have finite index subgroups whose parabolic subgroups are compatible, and provide a combination theorem for such subgroups.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Topology publishes papers of high quality and significance in topology, geometry and adjacent areas of mathematics. Interesting, important and often unexpected links connect topology and geometry with many other parts of mathematics, and the editors welcome submissions on exciting new advances concerning such links, as well as those in the core subject areas of the journal.
The Journal of Topology was founded in 2008. It is published quarterly with articles published individually online prior to appearing in a printed issue.
