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
Given a pseudovariety C, it is proved that a residually-C superstable group G has a finite series In particular, a residually finite superstable group is solvable-by-finite, and if it is ฯ-stable, then it is nilpotent-by-finite. Given a finitely generated group G, we show that if G is ฯ-stable and
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
We show that every word-hyperbolic group is residually finite if and only if every word-hyperbolic group has a finite quotient.
