| Research Abstract |
In a joint work with Papasoglu, Fujiwara established a theory of "JSJ-decomposition" for finitely presented group along slender subgroups. The result is a far reach generalization of the theorem by Rips-Sela on the JSJ-decomposition along cyclic subgroups.
A group is said "slender" if all of its subgroups are finitely generated. For example, any finitely generated abelian groups and nilpotent groups are slender, while a free group of rank at least two is not slender. The work is published in 2006.
