Relative Boone--Higman conjecture
Relative Boone--Higman conjecture
A normal pair is a pair consisting of a group and a normal subgroup. A group sharply embeds in when the normal pair embeds in ; a group is relatively simple when it has a largest normal subgroup in the sense defined in the source.
Relative Boone--Higman conjecture. Let be a finitely generated group with solvable word problem. Then sharply embeds in a finitely presented relatively simple group.
This is a relative strengthening of the Boone--Higman conjecture. The source relates it to embeddings that intersect every proper normal subgroup trivially and leaves the conjecture open.
