The Extrinsic Primitive Torsion Problem (1708.02093v3)
Published 7 Aug 2017 in math.GR and math.RT
Abstract: Let $P_k$ be the subgroup generated by $k$th powers of primitive elements in $F_r$, the free group of rank $r$. We show that $F_2/P_k$ is finite if and only if $k$ is $1$, $2$, or $3$. We also fully characterize $F_2/P_k$ for $k = 2,3,4$. In particular, we give a faithful nine dimensional representation of $F_2/P_4$ with infinite image.
