It is unknown whether a hyperbolic group is residually finite. Is it known under the additional hypothesis of locally indicability? Namely: Is a locally indicable hyperbolic group, [residually finite]?

Locally indicable means that every finitely generated subgroup has a nontrivial group homomorphisms to $\mathbb{Z}$.

    Mark Sapir or Denis Osin are probably the people to ask about this - and they frequent MathOverflow. Why not post there? [And then link back to this question...2012-02-09
