Presentations of finite simple groups: a computational approach

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

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

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 ) .

Right division in Moufang loops

Maria de Lourdes M. Giuliani, Kenneth Walter Johnson (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

If ( G , · ) is a group, and the operation ( * ) is defined by x * y = x · y - 1 then by direct verification ( G , * ) is a quasigroup which satisfies the identity ( x * y ) * ( z * y ) = x * z . Conversely, if one starts with a quasigroup satisfying the latter identity the group ( G , · ) can be constructed, so that in effect ( G , · ) is determined by its right division operation. Here the analogous situation is examined for a Moufang loop. Subtleties arise which are not present in the group case since there is a choice of defining identities and the identities produced by...

Testing Cayley graph densities

Goulnara N. Arzhantseva, Victor S. Guba, Martin Lustig, Jean-Philippe Préaux (2008)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

We present a computer-assisted analysis of combinatorial properties of the Cayley graphs of certain finitely generated groups: given a group with a finite set of generators, we study the density of the corresponding Cayley graph, that is, the least upper bound for the average vertex degree (= number of adjacent edges) of any finite subgraph. It is known that an m -generated group is amenable if and only if the density of the corresponding Cayley graph equals to 2 m . We test amenable and non-amenable...
