Co-rank and Betti number of a group

Irina Gelbukh (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finitely generated group, we study the relations between its rank, the maximal rank of its free quotient, called co-rank (inner rank, cut number), and the maximal rank of its free abelian quotient, called the Betti number. We show that any combination of the group's rank, co-rank, and Betti number within obvious constraints is realized for some finitely presented group (for Betti number equal to rank, the group can be chosen torsion-free). In addition, we show that the Betti number...

Trace and determinant in Banach algebras

Bernard Aupetit, H. Mouton (1996)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that the trace and the determinant on a semisimple Banach algebra can be defined in a purely spectral and analytic way and then we obtain many consequences from these new definitions.
