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...

Some remarks on almost finitely generated nilpotent groups.

Peter Hilton, Robert Militello (1992)

We identify two generalizations of the notion of a finitely generated nilpotent. Thus a nilpotent group G is fgp if Gp is fg as p-local group for each p; and G is fg-like if there exists a fg nilpotent group H such that Gp ≅ Hp for all p. The we have proper set-inclusions:{fg} ⊂ {fg-like} ⊂ {fgp}.We examine the extent to which fg-like nilpotent groups satisfy the axioms for a Serre class. We obtain a complete answer only in the case that [G, G] is finite. (The collection of fgp nilpotent groups...

The nilpotency of some groups with all subgroups subnormal.

Leonid A. Kurdachenko, Howard Smith (1998)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let G be a group with all subgroups subnormal. A normal subgroup N of G is said to be G-minimax if it has a finite G-invariant series whose factors are abelian and satisfy either max-G or min- G. It is proved that if the normal closure of every element of G is G-minimax then G is nilpotent and the normal closure of every element is minimax. Further results of this type are also obtained.
