On a definition for formations

Marco Barlotti (1988)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

By constructing appropriate faithful simple modules for the group GL(2,3), the author shows that certain "local" definitions for formations are not equivalent.

On a formula for the asymptotic dimension of free products

G. C. Bell, A. N. Dranishnikov, J. E. Keesling (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove an exact formula for the asymptotic dimension (asdim) of a free product. Our main theorem states that if A and B are finitely generated groups with asdim A = n and asdim B ≤ n, then asdim (A*B) = max n,1.

On a generalization of a theorem of Burnside

Jiangtao Shi (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A theorem of Burnside asserts that a finite group G is p -nilpotent if for some prime p a Sylow p -subgroup of G lies in the center of its normalizer. In this paper, let G be a finite group and p the smallest prime divisor of | G | , the order of G . Let P Syl p ( G ) . As a generalization of Burnside’s theorem, it is shown that if every non-cyclic p -subgroup of G is self-normalizing or normal in G then G is solvable. In particular, if P a , b | a p n - 1 = 1 , b 2 = 1 , b - 1 a b = a 1 + p n - 2 , where n 3 for p > 2 and n 4 for p = 2 , then G is p -nilpotent or p -closed.
