Commensurations of Out ( F n )

Benson FarbMichael Handel — 2007

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

Let Out(F) denote the outer automorphism group of the free group F with >3. We prove that for any finite index subgroup Γ<Out(F), the group Aut(Γ) is isomorphic to the normalizer of Γ in Out(F). We prove that Γ is : every injective homomorphism Γ→Γ is surjective. Finally, we prove that the abstract commensurator Comm(Out(F)) is isomorphic to Out(F).

Phantom maps and purity in modular representation theory, I

D. BensonG. Gnacadja — 1999

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let k be a field and G a finite group. By analogy with the theory of phantom maps in topology, a map f : M → ℕ between kG-modules is said to be phantom if its restriction to every finitely generated submodule of M factors through a projective module. We investigate the relationships between the theory of phantom maps, the algebraic theory of purity, and Rickard's idempotent modules. In general, adding one to the pure global dimension of kG gives an upper bound for the number of phantoms we need...

Thick subcategories of the stable module category

D. BensonJon CarlsonJeremy Rickard — 1997

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the thick subcategories of the stable category of finitely generated modules for the principal block of the group algebra of a finite group G over a field of characteristic p. In case G is a p-group we obtain a complete classification of the thick subcategories. The same classification works whenever the nucleus of the cohomology variety is zero. In case the nucleus is nonzero, we describe some examples which lead us to believe that there are always infinitely many thick subcategories concentrated...

Spectra for Gelfand pairs associated with the Heisenberg group

Chal BensonJoe JenkinsGail RatcliffTefera Worku — 1996

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let K be a closed Lie subgroup of the unitary group U(n) acting by automorphisms on the (2n+1)-dimensional Heisenberg group H n . We say that ( K , H n ) is a Gelfand pair when the set L K 1 ( H n ) of integrable K-invariant functions on H n is an abelian convolution algebra. In this case, the Gelfand space (or spectrum) for L K 1 ( H n ) can be identified with the set Δ ( K , H n ) of bounded K-spherical functions on H n . In this paper, we study the natural topology on Δ ( K , H n ) given by uniform convergence on compact subsets in H n . We show that Δ ( K , H n ) is a complete...
