The trivial and infinite cyclic groups are elementary; the trivial group has an elementary hierarchy of length \\(0\\). Now a group is said to have an elementary hierarchy of length \\(n\\) if it splits as a connected graph of groups where vertex groups have an elementary hierarchy of length \\(n-1\\), and edge groups are elementary.   The main result of the paper is (Theorem A) that if a finitely generated group \\(G\\) admits an elementary hierarchy and virtually embeds into a right-angled Artin group, then it is virtually free-by-\\(\\mathbb Z\\). By a similar analysis and using work of \\textit{O. Kharlampovich} and \\textit{A. Myasnikov} [J. Algebra 200, No. 2, 517-570 (1998; Zbl 0904.20017)] or \\textit{Z. Sela} [Isr. J. Math. 134, 173-254 (2003; Zbl 1028.20028)], hyperbolic limit groups are shown to be virtually free-by-\\(\\mathbb Z\\) (Corollary B). The authors ask whether one can in the latter case drop ``virtually''.","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5619233"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3636024"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1306688"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2480852"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3057771"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4053811"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1383969"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1812255"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1055547"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2427042"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1048480"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-07-11T15:47:00Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
