Abstract:
We give an almost complete classification of those generalized triangle groups that are finite, building on previous results of Baumslag, Morgan and Shalen [1], Conder [4], Rosenberger [12] and Levin and Rosenberger [11]. There are precisely two groups for which we cannot decide whether or not they are finite.References
