Abstract

We construct a CAT(0) group containing a finitely presented subgroup with infinitely many conjugacy classes of finite-order elements. Unlike previous examples (which were based on right-angled Artin groups) our ambient CAT(0) group does not contain any rank 3 free abelian subgroups. We also construct examples of groups of type Fn inside mapping class groups, Aut(double-struck Fk), and Out(double-struck Fk) which have infinitely many conjugacy classes of finite-order elements. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
