Neste trabalho apresentamos uma descrição geométrica do grupo de tranças no disco Bpnq e sua apresentação em termos de geradores e relatores no famoso teorema da apresentação de Artin. Mostraremos também que o grupo de tranças puras PBpnq, grupo que possui a permutação trivial das cordas, é bi-ordenável, ou seja, exibiremos uma ordenação para PBpnq que será invariante pela multiplicação em ambos os lados. Esse processo é dado a partir da combinação da técnica de pentear Artin e a expansão Magnus para grupos livres. / In this work, we present a geometric description of the braids groups of the disk Bpnq and its presentation in terms of generators and relations in the famous theorem of Artin\'s presentation. We also show that groups of pure braids, denoted by PBpnq, groups that have the trivial permutation of the strings, are bi-orderable, that is, we will present the explicit construction of a strict total ordering of pure braids PBpnq which is invariant under multiplying on both sides. This process is given from the combination of the techniques of combing Artin and Magnus expansion to free groups.

Nous étudions la clôture algébrique et définissable dans les groupes libres. Les résultats principaux peuvent être résumés comme suit. Nous montrons un résultat de constructibilité des groupes hyperboliques sans torsion au-dessus de la clôture algébrique d'un sous-ensemble engendrant un groupe non abélien. Nous avons cherché à comprendre la place qu'occupe la clôture algébrique acl_G(A) dans certaines décompositions de G. Nous avons étudié la possibilité de la généralisation de la méthode de Bestvina-Paulin dans d'autres directions, en considérant les groupes de type fini qui agissent d'une manière acylindrique (au sens de Bowditch) sur les graphes hyperboliques. Enfin, nous avons étudié les relations qui existent entre les différentes notions de clôture algébrique et entre la clôture algébrique et la clôture définissable / In Chapter 1 we give basics on combinatorial group theory, starting from free groups and proceeding with the fundamental constructions: free products, amalgamated free products and HNN extensions. We outline a synthesis of Bass-Serre theory, preceded by a survey on Cayley graphs and graphs of groups. After proving the main theorem of Bass-Serre theory, we present its application to the proof of Kurosh subgroup theorem. Subsequently we recall main definitions and properties of hyperbolic spaces. In Section 1.4 we define algebraic and definable closures and recall a few other notions of model theory related to saturation and homogeneity. The last section of Chapter 1 is devoted to asymptotic cones. In Chapter 2 we prove a theorem similar to Bestvina-Paulin theorem on the limit of a sequence of actions on hyperbolic graphs. Our setting is more general: we consider Bowditch-acylindrical actions on arbitrary hyperbolic graphs. We prove that edge stabilizers are (finite bounded)-by-abelian, that tripod stabilizers are finite bounded and that unstable edge stabilizers are finite bounded. In Chapter 3 we introduce the essential notions on limit groups, shortening argument and JSJ decompositions. In Chapter 4 we present the results on constructibility of a torsion-free hyperbolic group from the algebraic closure of a subgroup. Also we discuss constructibility of a free group from the existential algebraic closure of a subgroup. We obtain a bound to the rank of the algebraic and definable closures of subgroups in torsion-free hyperbolic groups. In Section 4.2 we prove some results about the position of algebraic closures in JSJ decompositions of torsion-free hyperbolic groups and other results for free groups. Finally, in Chapter 5 we answer the question about equality between algebraic and definable closure in a free group. A positive answer has been given for a free group F of rank smaller than 3. Instead, for free groups of rank strictly greater than 3 we found some counterexample. For the free group of rank 3 we found a necessary condition on the form of a possible counterexample.

In this dissertation, we studied the results obtained in 2009 by Sidka and Oliveira [7] that support the following conjecture: If H,K ~= Zp X...X Zp, then G(H,K,σ)is a p-group. / O grupo de comutatividade fraca por bijeção G(H;K;σ) = {H;K|[h;hσ] = 1, para todo h pertence H} é definido como sendo o quociente do produto livre H * K pelo fecho normal de {[h;hσ] : para todo h pertence H} emH * K. Nessa dissertação, estudamos os resultados obtidos em 2009 por Oliveira e Sidki [7] que suportam a seguinte conjectura: Se H,K ~= Zp X...X Zp, então G(H,K,σ) é um p-grupo.

Un automorphisme (extérieur) $phi $ d'un groupe libre $F_n$ de rang fini $ngeq 2$ est dit géométrique s'il est induit par un homéomorphisme d'une surface. La question à laquelle nous intéressons est la suivante: Quels sont les automorphismes de $F_n$ qui sont géométriques?Nous donnons une réponse algorithmique pour la classe des automorphismes à croissance polynomiale (en s'autorisant à remplacer un automorphisme par une puissance).Pour cela, nous sommes amenés à étudier les automorphismes de graphes de groupes. En particulier, nous introduisons deux transformations élémentaires d'automorphismes de graphes de groupes: les quotients et les éclatements.Pour le cas particulier où l'automorphisme est un twist de Dehn partiel, on obtient un critère pour décider quand un tel twist de Dehn partiel est un véritable twist de Dehn.En appliquant le critère à plusieurs reprises sur un twist de Dehn cumulé, nous montrons que soit on peut ＂déplier＂ ce twist de Dehn cumulé jusqu'à obtenir un twist de Dehn ordinaire, soit que $phi$ est à croissance au moins quadratique (et par conséquent, n'est pas géométrique).Cela montre, au passage, que tout automorphisme du groupe libre à croissance linéaire admet une puissance qui est un twist de Dehn. Ce fait est connu des experts, et souvent utilisé, bien qu'il n'en existait pas de preuve formelle dans la littérature (à la connaissance de l'auteur).Pour conclure, on applique l'algorithme de Cohen-Lustig pour le transformer en twist de Dehn efficace, puis on applique l'algorithme Whitehead et des théorèmes classiques de Nielsen-Baer et Zieschang pour construire un modèle géométrique ou pour montrer qu'il n'est pas géométrique. / An automorphism $phi$ of a free group $F_n$ of finite rank $n geq 2$ is said to be geometric it is induced by a homeomorphism on a surface.In this thesis we concern ourselves with answering the question:Which precisely are the outer automorphisms of $F_n$ that are geometric?to which we give an algorithmical decision for the case of polynomially growing outer automorphisms, up to raising to certain positive power.In order to realize this algorithm, we establish the technique of quotient and blow-up automorphisms of graph-of-groups, which when apply for the special case of partial Dehn twist enables us to develop a criterion to decide whether the induced outer automorphism is an actual Dehn twist.Applying the criterion repeatedly on the special topological representative deriving from relative train track map, we are now able to either “unfold” this iterated relative Dehn twist representative level by level until eventually obtain an ordinary Dehn twist representative or show that $hat{phi}$ has at least quadratic growth hence is not geometric.As a side result, we also proved that every linearly growing automorphism of free group has a positive power which is a Dehn twist automorphism. This is a fact that has been taken for granted by many experts, although has no formal proof to be found in the literature.In the case of Dehn twist automorphisms, we then use the known algorithm to make the given Dehn twist representative efficient and apply the Whitehead algorithm as well as the classical theorems by Nielsen, Baers, Zieschangs and others to construct its geometric model or to show that it is not geometric.
