On free subgroups of units in quaternion algebras

Jan Krempa (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

It is well known that for the ring H(ℤ) of integral quaternions the unit group U(H(ℤ) is finite. On the other hand, for the rational quaternion algebra H(ℚ), its unit group is infinite and even contains a nontrivial free subgroup. In this note (see Theorem 1.5 and Corollary 2.6) we find all intermediate rings ℤ ⊂ A ⊆ ℚ such that the group of units U(H(A)) of quaternions over A contains a nontrivial free subgroup. In each case we indicate such a subgroup explicitly. We do our best to keep the arguments...

On free subgroups of units in quaternion algebras II

Jan Krempa (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let A ⊆ ℚ be any subring. We extend our earlier results on unit groups of the standard quaternion algebra H(A) to units of certain rings of generalized quaternions H(A,a,b) = ((-a,-b)/A), where a,b ∈ A. Next we show that there is an algebra embedding of the ring H(A,a,b) into the algebra of standard Cayley numbers over A. Using this embedding we answer a question asked in the first part of this paper.

On Groups whose Contranormal Subgroups are Normally Complemented

Kurdachenko, L. A., Subbotin, I. Ya. (2011)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20F16, 20E15.Groups in which every contranormal subgroup is normally complemented has been considered. The description of such groups G with the condition Max-n and such groups having an abelian nilpotent residual satisfying Min-G have been obtained.

On groups with many nearly maximal subgroups

Silvana Franciosi, Francesco de Giovanni (1998)

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

A subgroup M of a group G is nearly maximal if the index | G : M | is infinite but every subgroup of G properly containing M has finite index, and the group G is called nearly I M if all its subgroups of infinite index are intersections of nearly maximal subgroups. It is proved that an infinite (generalized) soluble group is nearly I M if and only if it is either cyclic or dihedral.

On irreducible, infinite, nonaffine Coxeter groups

Dongwen Qi (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The following results are proved: The center of any finite index subgroup of an irreducible, infinite, nonaffine Coxeter group is trivial; Any finite index subgroup of an irreducible, infinite, nonaffine Coxeter group cannot be expressed as a product of two nontrivial subgroups. These two theorems imply a unique decomposition theorem for a class of Coxeter groups. We also prove that the orbit of each element other than the identity under the conjugation action in an irreducible, infinite, nonaffine...

On maximal subgroups of minimax groups

Silvana Franciosi, Francesco de Giovanni (1995)

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

It is proved that a soluble residually finite minimax group is finite-by-nilpotent if and only if it has only finitely many maximal subgroups which are not normal.

On non-periodic groups whose finitely generated subgroups are either permutable or pronormal

L. A. Kurdachenko, I. Ya. Subbotin, T. I. Ermolkevich (2013)

Mathematica Bohemica

The current article considers some infinite groups whose finitely generated subgroups are either permutable or pronormal. A group G is called a generalized radical, if G has an ascending series whose factors are locally nilpotent or locally finite. The class of locally generalized radical groups is quite wide. For instance, it includes all locally finite, locally soluble, and almost locally soluble groups. The main result of this paper is the followingTheorem. Let G be a locally generalized radical...
