Pseudo-abelian varieties

Burt Totaro (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Chevalley’s theorem states that every smooth connected algebraic group over a perfect field is an extension of an abelian variety by a smooth connected affine group. That fails when the base field is not perfect. We define a pseudo-abelian variety over an arbitrary field k to be a smooth connected k -group in which every smooth connected affine normal k -subgroup is trivial. This gives a new point of view on the classification of algebraic groups: every smooth connected group over a field is an extension...

Pseudoautomorphisms of Bruck loops and their generalizations

Mark Greer, Michael Kinyon (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show that in a weak commutative inverse property loop, such as a Bruck loop, if α is a right [left] pseudoautomorphism with companion c , then c [ c 2 ] must lie in the left nucleus. In particular, for any such loop with trivial left nucleus, every right pseudoautomorphism is an automorphism and if the squaring map is a permutation, then every left pseudoautomorphism is an automorphism as well. We also show that every pseudoautomorphism of a commutative inverse property loop is an automorphism, generalizing...

Pure subgroups

Ladislav Bican (2001)

Mathematica Bohemica

Let λ be an infinite cardinal. Set λ 0 = λ , define λ i + 1 = 2 λ i for every i = 0 , 1 , , take μ as the first cardinal with λ i < μ , i = 0 , 1 , and put κ = ( μ 0 ) + . If F is a torsion-free group of cardinality at least κ and K is its subgroup such that F / K is torsion and | F / K | λ , then K contains a non-zero subgroup pure in F . This generalizes the result from a previous paper dealing with F / K p -primary.
