    Free products of sofic groups with amalgamation over monotileably amenable groups (English)
    0 references
    Following M. Gromov, a group is sofic if it can be approximated in some weak sense by permutations. The class of sofic groups is closed under the usual operations like taking direct products, subgroups, inverse limits, direct limits, free products, and extension by amenable groups. In the paper under review the authors prove that the class of sofic groups is also closed under taking free products with amalgamation over monotileably amenable subgroups (Theorem 3.4). Consequently, so are HNN extensions of sofic groups (Corollary 3.6).
