Abstract
A piece of a labelled graph Γ refers to a labelled path that embeds into Γ in two different ways up to label-preserving automorphisms. We prove that graphical small cancellation groups whose associated pieces have uniformly bounded length are relatively hyperbolic. In fact, we show that the Cayley graph of such a group presentation is asymptotically tree-graded with respect to the collection of all embedded components of the defining graph Γ, if and only if the lengths of pieces of Γ are uniformly bounded. This implies the relative hyperbolicity by a characterization given by Druţu, Osin and Sapir.
期刊介绍:
Topology and its Applications is primarily concerned with publishing original research papers of moderate length. However, a limited number of carefully selected survey or expository papers are also included. The mathematical focus of the journal is that suggested by the title: Research in Topology. It is felt that it is inadvisable to attempt a definitive description of topology as understood for this journal. Certainly the subject includes the algebraic, general, geometric, and set-theoretic facets of topology as well as areas of interactions between topology and other mathematical disciplines, e.g. topological algebra, topological dynamics, functional analysis, category theory. Since the roles of various aspects of topology continue to change, the non-specific delineation of topics serves to reflect the current state of research in topology.
At regular intervals, the journal publishes a section entitled Open Problems in Topology, edited by J. van Mill and G.M. Reed. This is a status report on the 1100 problems listed in the book of the same name published by North-Holland in 1990, edited by van Mill and Reed.
