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). ...

Twisted group rings of strongly unbounded representation type

Leonid F. Barannyk, Dariusz Klein (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let S be a commutative local ring of characteristic p, which is not a field, S* the multiplicative group of S, W a subgroup of S*, G a finite p-group, and S λ G a twisted group ring of the group G and of the ring S with a 2-cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,S*). Denote by I n d m ( S λ G ) the set of isomorphism classes of indecomposable S λ G -modules of S-rank m. We exhibit rings S λ G for which there exists a function f λ : such that f λ ( n ) n and I n d f λ ( n ) ( S λ G ) is an infinite set for every natural n > 1. In special cases f λ ( ) contains every natural...

Equations in the Hadamard ring of rational functions

Andrea Ferretti, Umberto Zannier (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

Let K be a number field. It is well known that the set of recurrencesequences with entries in K is closed under component-wise operations, and so it can be equipped with a ring structure. We try to understand the structure of this ring, in particular to understand which algebraic equations have a solution in the ring. For the case of cyclic equations a conjecture due to Pisot states the following: assume { a n } is a recurrence sequence and suppose that all the a n have a d th root in the field...

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.

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 X ( k ) B r . 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 k are such that 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 = X ( k ) S o l k .

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 2 , then G has a...

Augmentation quotients for Burnside rings of generalized dihedral groups

Shan Chang (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let H be a finite abelian group of odd order, 𝒟 be its generalized dihedral group, i.e., the semidirect product of C 2 acting on H by inverting elements, where C 2 is the cyclic group of order two. Let Ω ( 𝒟 ) be the Burnside ring of 𝒟 , Δ ( 𝒟 ) be the augmentation ideal of Ω ( 𝒟 ) . Denote by Δ n ( 𝒟 ) and Q n ( 𝒟 ) the n th power of Δ ( 𝒟 ) and the n th consecutive quotient group Δ n ( 𝒟 ) / Δ n + 1 ( 𝒟 ) , respectively. This paper provides an explicit -basis for Δ n ( 𝒟 ) and determines the isomorphism class of Q n ( 𝒟 ) for each positive integer n .

Invariants, torsion indices and oriented cohomology of complete flags

Baptiste Calmès, Viktor Petrov, Kirill Zainoulline (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let  G be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field and let  T be a split maximal torus of  G . Let  𝗁 be an oriented cohomology (algebraic cobordism, connective K -theory, Chow groups, Grothendieck’s K 0 , etc.) with formal group law F . We construct a ring from F and the characters of  T , that we call a formal group ring, and we define a characteristic ring morphism c from this formal group ring to  𝗁 ( G / B ) where G / B is the variety of Borel subgroups of  G . Our main result says that when the...

Symmetric and reversible properties of bi-amalgamated rings

Antonysamy Aruldoss, Chelliah Selvaraj (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let f : A B and g : A C be two ring homomorphisms and let K and K ' be two ideals of B and C , respectively, such that f - 1 ( K ) = g - 1 ( K ' ) . We investigate unipotent, symmetric and reversible properties of the bi-amalgamation ring A f , g ( K , K ' ) of A with ( B , C ) along ( K , K ' ) with respect to ( f , g ) .

Skew inverse power series rings over a ring with projective socle

Kamal Paykan (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A ring R is called a right PS -ring if its socle, Soc ( R R ) , is projective. Nicholson and Watters have shown that if R is a right PS -ring, then so are the polynomial ring R [ x ] and power series ring R [ [ x ] ] . In this paper, it is proved that, under suitable conditions, if R has a (flat) projective socle, then so does the skew inverse power series ring R [ [ x - 1 ; α , δ ] ] and the skew polynomial ring R [ x ; α , δ ] , where R is an associative ring equipped with an automorphism α and an α -derivation δ . Our results extend and unify many existing...

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)....

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 a b c 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...

The Roquette category of finite p -groups

Serge Bouc (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let p be a prime number. This paper introduces the Roquette category p of finite p -groups, which is an additive tensor category containing all finite p -groups among its objects. In p , every finite p -group P admits a canonical direct summand P , called the edge of P . Moreover P splits uniquely as a direct sum of edges of Roquette p -groups, and the tensor structure of p can be described in terms of such edges. The main motivation for considering this category is that the additive functors...

Representation growth of linear groups

Michael Larsen, Alexander Lubotzky (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let Γ be a group and r n ( Γ ) the number of its n -dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function 𝒵 Γ ( s ) = n = 1 r n ( Γ ) n - s . When Γ is an arithmetic group satisfying the congruence subgroup property then 𝒵 Γ ( s ) has an “Euler factorization”. The “factor at infinity” is sometimes called the “Witten zeta function” counting the rational representations of an algebraic group. For these we determine precisely the abscissa of convergence. The local factor at a finite...

Completely bounded lacunary sets for compact non-abelian groups

Kathryn Hare, Parasar Mohanty (2015)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper, we introduce and study the notion of completely bounded Λ p sets ( Λ p c b for short) for compact, non-abelian groups G. We characterize Λ p c b sets in terms of completely bounded L p ( G ) multipliers. We prove that when G is an infinite product of special unitary groups of arbitrarily large dimension, there are sets consisting of representations of unbounded degree that are Λ p sets for all p < ∞, but are not Λ p c b for any p ≥ 4. This is done by showing that the space of completely bounded L p ( G ) ...

On some noetherian rings of C germs on a real closed field

Abdelhafed Elkhadiri (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let R be a real closed field, and denote by R , n the ring of germs, at the origin of Rⁿ, of C functions in a neighborhood of 0 ∈ Rⁿ. For each n ∈ ℕ, we construct a quasianalytic subring R , n R , n with some natural properties. We prove that, for each n ∈ ℕ, R , n is a noetherian ring and if R = ℝ (the field of real numbers), then , n = , where ₙ is the ring of germs, at the origin of ℝⁿ, of real analytic functions. Finally, we prove the Real Nullstellensatz and solve Hilbert’s 17th Problem for the ring R , n . ...

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 2 , are virtually W * -superrigid.
