A nilpotency condition for finitely generated soluble groups

Costantino Delizia (1998)

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

Similarity:

We prove that if $k > 1$ is an integer and $G$ is a finitely generated soluble group such that every infinite set of elements of $G$ contains a pair which generates a nilpotent subgroup of class at most $k$ , then $G$ is an extension of a finite group by a torsion-free $k$ -Engel group. As a corollary, there exists an integer $n$ , depending only on $k$ and the derived length of $G$ , such that $G / Z_{n} (G)$ is finite. For $k < 4$ , such $n$ depends only on $k$ .

The Hughes subgroup

Robert Bryce (1994)

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

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a group and $p$ a prime. The subgroup generated by the elements of order different from $p$ is called the Hughes subgroup for exponent $p$ . Hughes [3] made the following conjecture: if $H_{p} (G)$ is non-trivial, its index in $G$ is at most $p$ . There are many articles that treat this problem. In the present Note we examine those of Strauss and Szekeres [9], which treats the case $p = 3$ and $G$ arbitrary, and that of Hogan and Kappe [2] concerning the case when $G$ is metabelian, and $p$ arbitrary. A common...

Parallelepipeds, nilpotent groups and Gowers norms

Bernard Host, Bryna Kra (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

In his proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem, Gowers introduced certain norms that are defined on a parallelepiped structure. A natural question is on which sets a parallelepiped structure (and thus a Gowers norm) can be defined. We focus on dimensions $2$ and $3$ and show when this possible, and describe a correspondence between the parallelepiped structures and nilpotent groups.

Infinite locally soluble $k$ -Engel groups

Lucia Serena Spiezia (1992)

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

Similarity:

In this paper we deal with the class $E_{k}^{*}$ of groups $G$ for which whenever we choose two infinite subsets $X$ , $Y$ there exist two elements $x \in X$ , $y \in Y$ such that $[x, \underset{k}{\underset{︸}{y, \dots, y}}] = 1$ . We prove that an infinite finitely generated soluble group in the class $E_{k}^{*}$ is in the class $E_{k}$ of $k$ -Engel groups. Furthermore, with $k = 2$ , we show that if $G \in E_{2}^{*}$ is infinite locally soluble or hyperabelian group then $G \in E_{2}$ .

Hurewicz-Serre theorem in extension theory

M. Cencelj, J. Dydak, A. Mitra, A. Vavpetič (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to generalizations of the Cencelj-Dranishnikov theorems relating extension properties of nilpotent CW complexes to their homology groups. Here are the main results of the paper: Theorem 0.1. Let L be a nilpotent CW complex and F the homotopy fiber of the inclusion i of L into its infinite symmetric product SP(L). If X is a metrizable space such that $X τ K (H_{k} (L), k)$ for all k ≥ 1, then $X τ K (π_{k} (F), k)$ and $X τ K (π_{k} (L), k)$ for all k ≥ $.$ Theorem 0.2. Let X be a metrizable space such that dim(X) < ∞ or X ∈...

Regularity of sets with constant intrinsic normal in a class of Carnot groups

Marco Marchi (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this Note, we define a class of stratified Lie groups of arbitrary step (that are called “groups of type $☆$ ” throughout the paper), and we prove that, in these groups, sets with constant intrinsic normal are vertical halfspaces. As a consequence, the reduced boundary of a set of finite intrinsic perimeter in a group of type $☆$ is rectifiable in the intrinsic sense (De Giorgi’s rectifiability theorem). This result extends the previous one proved by Franchi, Serapioni & Serra Cassano...

A problem of Kollár and Larsen on finite linear groups and crepant resolutions

Robert Guralnick, Pham Tiep (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The notion of age of elements of complex linear groups was introduced by M. Reid and is of importance in algebraic geometry, in particular in the study of crepant resolutions and of quotients of Calabi–Yau varieties. In this paper, we solve a problem raised by J. Kollár and M. Larsen on the structure of finite irreducible linear groups generated by elements of age $\leq 1$ . More generally, we bound the dimension of finite irreducible linear groups generated by elements of bounded deviation....

Limits of relatively hyperbolic groups and Lyndon’s completions

Olga Kharlampovich, Alexei Myasnikov (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We describe finitely generated groups $H$ universally equivalent (with constants from $G$ in the language) to a given torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group $G$ with free abelian parabolics. It turns out that, as in the free group case, the group $H$ embeds into the Lyndon’s completion $G^{ℤ [t]}$ of the group $G$ , or, equivalently, $H$ embeds into a group obtained from $G$ by finitely many extensions of centralizers. Conversely, every subgroup of $G^{ℤ [t]}$ containing $G$ is universally equivalent to $G$ . Since finitely...

On sequences over a finite abelian group with zero-sum subsequences of forbidden lengths

Weidong Gao, Yuanlin Li, Pingping Zhao, Jujuan Zhuang (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let G be an additive finite abelian group. For every positive integer ℓ, let $d i s c_{ℓ} (G)$ be the smallest positive integer t such that each sequence S over G of length |S| ≥ t has a nonempty zero-sum subsequence of length not equal to ℓ. In this paper, we determine $d i s c_{ℓ} (G)$ for certain finite groups, including cyclic groups, the groups $G = C ₂ \oplus C_{2 m}$ and elementary abelian 2-groups. Following Girard, we define disc(G) as the smallest positive integer t such that every sequence S over G with |S| ≥ t has nonempty zero-sum...

Deformation theory and finite simple quotients of triangle groups I

Michael Larsen, Alexander Lubotzky, Claude Marion (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $2 \leq a \leq b \leq c \in ℕ$ with $μ = 1 / a + 1 / b + 1 / c < 1$ and let $T = T_{a, b, c} = 〈 x, y, z : x^{a} = y^{b} = z^{c} = x y z = 1 〉$ be the corresponding hyperbolic triangle group. Many papers have been dedicated to the following question: what are the finite (simple) groups which appear as quotients of $T$ ? (Classically, for $(a, b, c) = (2, 3, 7)$ and more recently also for general $(a, b, c)$ .) These papers have used either explicit constructive methods or probabilistic ones. The goal of this paper is to present a new approach based on the theory of representation varieties (via deformation theory). As a corollary we essentially...

On the Davenport constant and group algebras

Daniel Smertnig (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a finite abelian group G and a splitting field K of G, let (G,K) denote the largest integer l ∈ ℕ for which there is a sequence $S = g ₁ \cdot . . . \cdot g_{l}$ over G such that $(X^{g ₁} - a ₁) \cdot . . . \cdot (X^{g_{l}} - a_{l}) \neq 0 \in K [G]$ for all $a ₁, . . ., a_{l} \in K^{\times}$ . If (G) denotes the Davenport constant of G, then there is the straightforward inequality (G) - 1 ≤ (G,K). Equality holds for a variety of groups, and a conjecture of W. Gao et al. states that equality holds for all groups. We offer further groups for which equality holds, but we also give the first examples of groups G for...
