The Cohen-Lenstra heuristics, moments and $p^{j}$ -ranks of some groups

Christophe Delaunay, Frédéric Jouhet (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

This article deals with the coherence of the model given by the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic philosophy for class groups and also for their generalizations to Tate-Shafarevich groups. More precisely, our first goal is to extend a previous result due to É. Fouvry and J. Klüners which proves that a conjecture provided by the Cohen-Lenstra philosophy implies another such conjecture. As a consequence of our work, we can deduce, for example, a conjecture for the probability laws of $p^{j}$ -ranks of...

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...

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....

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...

Homotopy invariance of higher signatures and $3$ -manifold groups

Michel Matthey, Hervé Oyono-Oyono, Wolfgang Pitsch (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

For closed oriented manifolds, we establish oriented homotopy invariance of higher signatures that come from the fundamental group of a large class of orientable $3$ -manifolds, including the “piecewise geometric” ones in the sense of Thurston. In particular, this class, that will be carefully described, is the class of all orientable $3$ -manifolds if the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture is true. In fact, for this type of groups, we show that the Baum-Connes Conjecture With Coefficients...

Coxeter group actions on the complement of hyperplanes and special involutions

Giovanni Felder, A. Veselov (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider both standard and twisted actions of a (real) Coxeter group $G$ on the complement $ℳ_{G}$ to the complexified reflection hyperplanes by combining the reflections with complex conjugation. We introduce a natural geometric class of special involutions in $G$ and give explicit formulae which describe both actions on the total cohomology $H^{*} (ℳ_{G}, 𝒞)$ in terms of these involutions. As a corollary we prove that the corresponding twisted representation is regular only for the symmetric group $S_{n}$ , the...

The density of representation degrees

Martin Liebeck, Dan Segal, Aner Shalev (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For a group $G$ and a positive real number $x$ , define $d_{G} (x)$ to be the number of integers less than $x$ which are dimensions of irreducible complex representations of $G$ . We study the asymptotics of $d_{G} (x)$ for algebraic groups, arithmetic groups and finitely generated linear groups. In particular we prove an “alternative” for finitely generated linear groups $G$ in characteristic zero, showing that either there exists $α > 0$ such that $d_{G} (x) > x^{α}$ for all large $x$ , or $G$ is virtually abelian (in which case $d_{G} (x)$ is bounded). ...

A duality theorem for Dieudonné displays

Eike Lau (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We show that the Zink equivalence between $p$ -divisible groups and Dieudonné displays over a complete local ring with perfect residue field of characteristic $p$ is compatible with duality. The proof relies on a new explicit formula for the $p$ -divisible group associated to a Dieudonné display.

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...

Groups of given intermediate word growth

Laurent Bartholdi, Anna Erschler (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that there exists a finitely generated group of growth $\sim f$ for all functions $f : ℝ_{+} \to ℝ_{+}$ satisfying $f (2 R) \leq f {(R)}^{2} \leq f (η_{+} R)$ for all $R$ large enough and $η_{+} \approx 2.4675$ the positive root of $X^{3} - X^{2} - 2 X - 4$ . Set $α_{-} = log 2 / log η_{+} \approx 0.7674$ ; then all functions that grow uniformly faster than $exp (R^{α_{-}})$ are realizable as the growth of a group. We also give a family of sum-contracting branched groups of growth $\sim exp (R^{α})$ for a dense set of $α \in [α_{-}, 1]$ .

Characterization of the alternating groups by their order and one conjugacy class length

Alireza Khalili Asboei, Reza Mohammadyari (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $N (G)$ be the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ . By Thompson’s conjecture, if $L$ is a finite non-abelian simple group, $G$ is a finite group with a trivial center, and $N (G) = N (L)$ , then $L$ and $G$ are isomorphic. Recently, Chen et al. contributed interestingly to Thompson’s conjecture under a weak condition. They only used the group order and one or two special conjugacy class sizes of simple groups and characterized successfully sporadic simple groups (see Li’s PhD dissertation)....

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let G be a finite group, and $M = D_{p} (3)$ (p ≥ 3). It is proved that G ≅ M if G and M have the same order components.
