Permutability of centre-by-finite groups

Let G be a group and m be an integer greater than or equal to 2 . G is said to be m -permutable if every product of m elements can be reordered at least in one way. We prove that, if G has a centre of finite index z , then G is ( 1 + [ z / 2 ] ) -permutable. More bounds are given on the least m such that G is m -permutable.

P-nilpotent completion is not idempotent.

Geok Choo Tan (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let P be an arbitrary set of primes. The P-nilpotent completion of a group G is defined by the group homomorphism η: G → GP' where GP' = inv lim(G/ΓiG)P. Here Γ2G is the commutator subgroup [G,G] and ΓiG the subgroup [G, Γi−1G] when i > 2. In this paper, we prove that P-nilpotent completion of an infinitely generated free group F does not induce an isomorphism on the first homology group with ZP coefficients. Hence, P-nilpotent completion is not idempotent. Another important consequence of...

Presentations of finite simple groups: a computational approach

Robert Guralnick, William M. Kantor, Martin Kassabov, Alexander Lubotzky (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

All finite simple groups of Lie type of rank n over a field of size q , with the possible exception of the Ree groups 2 G 2 ( q ) , have presentations with at most 49 relations and bit-length O ( 𝚕𝚘𝚐 n + 𝚕𝚘𝚐 q ) . Moreover, A n and S n have presentations with 3 generators; 7 relations and bit-length O ( 𝚕𝚘𝚐 n ) , while 𝚂𝙻 ( n , q ) has a presentation with 6 generators, 25 relations and bit-length O ( 𝚕𝚘𝚐 n + 𝚕𝚘𝚐 q ) .
