A note on higher coherence of graphs of groups

Kevin Li, Luis Jorge Sánchez Saldaña

Abstract

For

n ∈ N n\in\mathbb{N}
, a group is called 𝑛-coherent if every subgroup of type
F n \mathsf{F}_{n}
is of type
F n + 1 \mathsf{F}_{n+1}
. For
n ≥ 1 n\geq 1
, we observe that graphs of groups with 𝑛-coherent vertex groups and virtually poly-cyclic edge groups are 𝑛-coherent. We deduce the 𝑛-coherence of certain right-angled Artin groups.
