The unit groups of semisimple group algebras of some non-metabelian groups of order $144$

Gaurav Mittal, Rajendra K. Sharma (2023)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We consider all the non-metabelian groups $G$ of order $144$ that have exponent either $36$ or $72$ and deduce the unit group $U (𝔽_{q} G)$ of semisimple group algebra $𝔽_{q} G$ . Here, $q$ denotes the power of a prime, i.e., $q = p^{r}$ for $p$ prime and a positive integer $r$ . Up to isomorphism, there are $6$ groups of order $144$ that have exponent either $36$ or $72$ . Additionally, we also discuss how to simply obtain the unit groups of the semisimple group algebras of those non-metabelian groups of order $144$ that are a direct product of two...

A note on normal generation and generation of groups

Andreas Thom (2015)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

In this note we study sets of normal generators of finitely presented residually $p$ -finite groups. We show that if an infinite, finitely presented, residually $p$ -finite group $G$ is normally generated by $g_{1}, \dots, g_{k}$ with order $n_{1}, \dots, n_{k} \in {1, 2, \dots} \cup {\infty}$ , then $β_{1}^{(2)} (G) \leq k - 1 - \sum_{i = 1}^{k} \frac{1}{n_{i}},$ where $β_{1}^{(2)} (G)$ denotes the first $ℓ^{2}$ -Betti number of $G$ . We also show that any $k$ -generated group with $β_{1}^{(2)} (G) \geq k - 1 - ε$ must have girth greater than or equal $1 / ε$ .

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...

Finite groups whose all proper subgroups are $𝒞$ -groups

Pengfei Guo, Jianjun Liu (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A group $G$ is said to be a $𝒞$ -group if for every divisor $d$ of the order of $G$ , there exists a subgroup $H$ of $G$ of order $d$ such that $H$ is normal or abnormal in $G$ . We give a complete classification of those groups which are not $𝒞$ -groups but all of whose proper subgroups are $𝒞$ -groups.

The Ribes-Zalesskii property of some one relator groups

Gilbert Mantika, Narcisse Temate-Tangang, Daniel Tieudjo (2022)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The profinite topology on any abstract group $G$ , is one such that the fundamental system of neighborhoods of the identity is given by all its subgroups of finite index. We say that a group $G$ has the Ribes-Zalesskii property of rank $k$ , or is RZ $_{k}$ with $k$ a natural number, if any product $H_{1} H_{2} \dots H_{k}$ of finitely generated subgroups $H_{1}, H_{2}, \dots, H_{k}$ is closed in the profinite topology on $G$ . And a group is said to have the Ribes-Zalesskii property or is RZ if it is RZ $_{k}$ for any natural number $k$ . In this paper we characterize...

Permutability of centre-by-finite groups

Brunetto Piochi (1989)

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 $m$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$ . $G$ is said to be $m$ -permutable if every product of $m$ elements can be reordered at least in one way. We prove that, if $G$ has a centre of finite index $z$ , then $G$ is $(1+[z/2])$ -permutable. More bounds are given on the least $m$ such that $G$ is $m$ -permutable.

On the structural theory of ${II}_{1}$ factors of negatively curved groups

Ionut Chifan, Thomas Sinclair (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Ozawa showed in [21] that for any i.c.c. hyperbolic group, the associated group factor $L Γ$ is solid. Developing a new approach that combines some methods of Peterson [29], Ozawa and Popa [27, 28], and Ozawa [25], we strengthen this result by showing that $L Γ$ is strongly solid. Using our methods in cooperation with a cocycle superrigidity result of Ioana [12], we show that profinite actions of lattices in $Sp (n, 1)$ , $n \geq 2$ , are virtually $W^{*}$ -superrigid.

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). ...

Group algebras whose groups of normalized units have exponent 4

Victor Bovdi, Mohammed Salim (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We give a full description of locally finite $2$ -groups $G$ such that the normalized group of units of the group algebra $F G$ over a field $F$ of characteristic $2$ has exponent $4$ .

A note on infinite $a S$ -groups

Reza Nikandish, Babak Miraftab (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a group. If every nontrivial subgroup of $G$ has a proper supplement, then $G$ is called an $a S$ -group. We study some properties of $a S$ -groups. For instance, it is shown that a nilpotent group $G$ is an $a S$ -group if and only if $G$ is a subdirect product of cyclic groups of prime orders. We prove that if $G$ is an $a S$ -group which satisfies the descending chain condition on subgroups, then $G$ is finite. Among other results, we characterize all abelian groups for which every nontrivial quotient group...

Product decompositions of quasirandom groups and a Jordan type theorem

Nikolay Nikolov, László Pyber (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We first note that a result of Gowers on product-free sets in groups has an unexpected consequence: If $k$ is the minimal degree of a representation of the finite group $G$ , then for every subset $B$ of $G$ with $| B | > | G | / k^{1 / 3}$ we have $B^{3} = G$ . We use this to obtain improved versions of recent deep theorems of Helfgott and of Shalev concerning product decompositions of finite simple groups, with much simpler proofs. On the other hand, we prove a version of Jordan’s theorem which implies that if $k \geq 2$ , then $G$ has a...

Obstruction sets and extensions of groups

Francesca Balestrieri (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let X be a nice variety over a number field k. We characterise in pure “descent-type” terms some inequivalent obstruction sets refining the inclusion $X {(_{k})}^{é t, B r} \subset X {(_{k})}^{B r ₁}$ . In the first part, we apply ideas from the proof of $X {(_{k})}^{é t, B r} = X {(_{k})}^{_{k}}$ by Skorobogatov and Demarche to new cases, by proving a comparison theorem for obstruction sets. In the second part, we show that if $\subset \subset_{k}$ are such that $\subset E x t (,_{k})$ , then $X {(_{k})}^{} = X {(_{k})}^{}$ . This allows us to conclude, among other things, that $X {(_{k})}^{é t, B r} = X {(_{k})}^{_{k}}$ and $X {(_{k})}^{S o l, B r ₁} = X {(_{k})}^{S o l_{k}}$ .

Products of conjugacy classes in finite unitary groups $G U (3, q^{2})$ and $S U (3, q^{2})$

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

For the groups $G U (3)$ , $S U (3)$ , $G L (3)$ , $S U (3)$ over a finite field we solve the class product problem, i.e., we give a complete list of $m$ -tuples of conjugacy classes whose product does not contain the identity matrix.
