The residual finiteness of certain HNN extensions

Wong Peng Choon and Wong Kok Bin

University of Malaya, University of Malaya

Abstract

In this note we give characterizations for certain HNN extensions with central associated subgroups to be residually finite. We then apply our results to HNN extensions of polycyclic-by-finite groups.

Keywords: HNN extensions, residually finite, polycyclic-by-finite groups, abelian groups
