We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized free products of free groups or finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups, amalgamating a cycle, to be residually finite p-groups. Using this, we characterize the residually finite p-group property of tree products of finitely gene

โฆ Synopsis
We find a necessary and sufficient condition for an amalgamated free product of arbitrarily many isomorphic residually (p)-finite groups to be residually (p)-finite. We also prove that this condition is sufficient for a free product of any finite number of residually (p)-finite groups, amalgamating a cyclic subgroup, to be residually (p)-finite. We observe that a group is potent, if it is residually (p)-finite, for all primes (p). Using this fact, we prove that a free product of finitely many groups, amalgamating a maximal cyclic subgroup is potent, if each factor is either free or finitely generated, torsion-free, and nilpotent.

We show that certain properties of groups of automorphisms can be read off from the actions they induce on the finite characteristic quotients of their underlying group G. In particular, we obtain criteria for groups of automorphisms of a ลฝ . residually finite and soluble minimax -by-finite group G
The purpose of the present paper is to give a topological proof of the fact that the free product of two residually finite groups with a finite subgroup amalgamated is itself residually finite. This theorem, which is due to G. Baumslag [2], is a generalization of the corresponding result for ordinar
We prove that a free product of infinitely many finitely generated, torsion free, nilpotent groups amalgamating isolated cycles is residually finite-p for all primes p so long as the number of generators and nilpotency class of the factors are both bounded. Examples illustrate that if we remove any
