Abstract:Abstract. We show that the rank does not decrease if one passes from a torsion-free locally quasi-convex hyperbolic group to the quotient by the normal closure of certain high powered elements. An argument provided by Ilya Kapovich further shows that the quasiconvexity assumption cannot be dropped without adding other assumptions.
