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...

On unit group of finite semisimple group algebras of non-metabelian groups up to order 72

Gaurav Mittal, Rajendra Kumar Sharma (2021)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We characterize the unit group of semisimple group algebras 𝔽 q G of some non-metabelian groups, where F q is a field with q = p k elements for p prime and a positive integer k . In particular, we consider all 6 non-metabelian groups of order 48, the only non-metabelian group ( ( C 3 × C 3 ) C 3 ) C 2 of order 54, and 7 non-metabelian groups of order 72. This completes the study of unit groups of semisimple group algebras for groups upto order 72.

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 · . . . · g l over G such that ( X g - a ) · . . . · ( X g l - a l ) 0 K [ G ] for all a , . . . , a l K × . 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...

A characterization of the linear groups L 2 ( p )

Alireza Khalili Asboei, Ali Iranmanesh (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G be a finite group and π e ( G ) be the set of element orders of G . Let k π e ( G ) and m k be the number of elements of order k in G . Set nse ( G ) : = { m k : k π e ( G ) } . In fact nse ( G ) is the set of sizes of elements with the same order in G . In this paper, by nse ( G ) and order, we give a new characterization of finite projective special linear groups L 2 ( p ) over a field with p elements, where p is prime. We prove the following theorem: If G is a group such that | G | = | L 2 ( p ) | and nse ( G ) consists of 1 , p 2 - 1 , p ( p + ϵ ) / 2 and some numbers divisible by 2 p , where p is a prime...

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 1 . More generally, we bound the dimension of finite irreducible linear groups generated by elements of bounded deviation....

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...

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). ...

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...

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 [ 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 [ t ] containing G is universally equivalent to G . Since finitely...

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 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 * ( 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.

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 f for all functions f : + + satisfying f ( 2 R ) f ( R ) 2 f ( η + R ) for all R large enough and η + 2 . 4675 the positive root of X 3 - X 2 - 2 X - 4 . Set α - = log 2 / log η + 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 exp ( R α ) for a dense set of α [ 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)....
