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...

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...

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). ...

Presentations of finite simple groups: a computational approach

Robert Guralnick, William M. Kantor, Martin Kassabov, Alexander Lubotzky (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

All finite simple groups of Lie type of rank $n$ over a field of size $q$ , with the possible exception of the Ree groups $^{2} G_{2} (q)$ , have presentations with at most 49 relations and bit-length $O (𝚕𝚘𝚐 n + 𝚕𝚘𝚐 q)$ . Moreover, $A_{n}$ and $S_{n}$ have presentations with 3 generators; 7 relations and bit-length $O (𝚕𝚘𝚐 n)$ , while $𝚂𝙻 (n, q)$ has a presentation with 6 generators, 25 relations and bit-length $O (𝚕𝚘𝚐 n + 𝚕𝚘𝚐 q)$ .

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 $α \in [α_{-}, 1]$ .

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...

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.

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...

Fitting classes and injectors are discussed in the class of $\mathfrak{G}_{1}$ -groups. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of injectors is given; it is also shown that, when this condition holds, the injectors form a unique conjugacy class.

The diffeomorphism group of a non-compact orbifold

A. Schmeding

Similarity:

We endow the diffeomorphism group $D i f f_{O r b} (Q,)$ of a paracompact (reduced) orbifold with the structure of an infinite-dimensional Lie group modeled on the space of compactly supported sections of the tangent orbibundle. For a second countable orbifold, we prove that $D i f f_{O r b} (Q,)$ is C⁰-regular, and thus regular in the sense of Milnor. Furthermore, an explicit characterization of the Lie algebra associated to $D i f f_{O r b} (Q,)$ is given.

A complete analogue of Hardy's theorem on semisimple Lie groups

Rudra P. Sarkar (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

A result by G. H. Hardy ([11]) says that if f and its Fourier transform f̂ are $O (| x |^{m} e^{- α x ²})$ and $O (| x | ⁿ e^{- x ² / (4 α)})$ respectively for some m,n ≥ 0 and α > 0, then f and f̂ are $P (x) e^{- α x ²}$ and $P^{'} (x) e^{- x ² / (4 α)}$ respectively for some polynomials P and P’. If in particular f is as above, but f̂ is $o (e^{- x ² / (4 α)})$ , then f = 0. In this article we will prove a complete analogue of this result for connected noncompact semisimple Lie groups with finite center. Our proof can be carried over to the real reductive groups of the Harish-Chandra class.

Brauer relations in finite groups

Alex Bartel, Tim Dokchitser (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

If $G$ is a non-cyclic finite group, non-isomorphic $G$ -sets $X, Y$ may give rise to isomorphic permutation representations $ℂ [X] ≅ ℂ [Y]$ . Equivalently, the map from the Burnside ring to the rational representation ring of $G$ has a kernel. Its elements are called Brauer relations, and the purpose of this paper is to classify them in all finite groups, extending the Tornehave–Bouc classification in the case of $p$ -groups.
