On the Magnus–Smelkin embedding
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Extract
The generalization of the Magnus embedding [7] proved by Smelkin [9] may bestated as follows. Let L be a free group freely generated by the set xi(i∈I), and let R be a normal subgroup of L with G = L/R. If V is any variety of groups and ∏ is the V-freegroup with free generating set the symbols [g, xi] (g∈G, i∈I), then L/V(R) is embeddedin the semidirect product ∏ ⋊ G (where the action of G on ∏ is given by h · [g, xi] = [hg, xi], for h, g ∈ G).
