Olga Kharlampovich, Alina Vdovina

Short summary

A finite-dimensional representation of a right-angled Artin group (RAAG) can separate a word quasiconvex subgroup H in the induced Zariski topology.

Key points

  • A finite-dimensional representation can separate word quasiconvex subgroups in RAAGs.
  • A polynomial upper bound is established for the size of quotients used in this separation.
  • The result applies to virtually special groups and fundamental groups of hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

Abstract

We answer the question raised by Louder, McReynolds and Patel in their 2017 article and prove the following statement. Let L be a right-angled Artin group (abbreviated as RAAG) and H a word quasiconvex subgroup of L ; then there is a finite-dimensional representation of L that separates the subgroup H in the induced Zariski topology. As a corollary, we establish a polynomial upper bound on the size of the quotients used to separate H in L . This implies the same statement for a virtually special group L , and, in particular, for the fundamental groups of a hyperbolic 3 -manifold.
