On Kolchin's theorem.

Israel N. Herstein (1986)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

Similarity:

A well-known theorem due to Kolchin states that a semi-group G of unipotent matrices over a field F can be brought to a triangular form over the field F [4, Theorem H]. Recall that a matrix A is called unipotent if its only eigenvalue is 1, or, equivalently, if the matrix I - A is nilpotent. Many years ago I noticed that this result of Kolchin is an immediate consequence of a too-little known result due to Wedderburn [6]. This result of Wedderburn asserts that if B is a finite...

Some remarks on almost finitely generated nilpotent groups.

Peter Hilton, Robert Militello (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

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...

Group rings with FC-nilpotent unit groups.

Vikas Bist (1991)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

Let U(RG) be the unit group of the group ring RG. Groups G such that U(RG) is FC-nilpotent are determined, where R is the ring of integers Z or a field K of characteristic zero.

P-nilpotent completion is not idempotent.

Geok Choo Tan (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

Let P be an arbitrary set of primes. The P-nilpotent completion of a group G is defined by the group homomorphism η: G → G where G = inv lim(G/ΓG). Here ΓG is the commutator subgroup [G,G] and ΓG the subgroup [G, ΓG] 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 Z coefficients. Hence, P-nilpotent completion is not idempotent. Another important consequence of...

Nil series from arbitrary functions in group theory

Ian Hawthorn (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In an earlier paper distributors were defined as a measure of how close an arbitrary function between groups is to being a homomorphism. Distributors generalize commutators, hence we can use them to try to generalize anything defined in terms of commutators. In this paper we use this to define a generalization of nilpotent groups and explore its basic properties.
