Resumen de On the residual properties of link groups

Valery Bardakov, R.V. Mikhailov

• We study the residual properties of finitely generated linear groups. Using the methods under consideration, we prove the residual 2-finiteness of the groups of the Whitehead link, the Borromean links (answering a question of Cochran), and some other links. We show also that each link is a sublink of some link whose group is residually 2-finite.
