   Title: On monomorphisms of groups

Abstract: 
We will give homological conditions that characterize when a group
homomorphism from certain poly-free groups to any group is a monomorphism.
The poly-free groups are fundamental groups of complements of hyperplane
arrangements or subgroups of the group of automorphisms of the free group.
Also, we connect out criteria to the general linearity criterion for
groups that was given by Lubotzky.
