On commutative semigroups which are unions of a finite number of principal ideals
Let be an abelian group, a commutative ring of prime characteristic with identity and a commutative twisted group ring of over . Suppose is a fixed prime, and are the -components of and of the unit group of , respectively. Let be the multiplicative group of and let be the -th Ulm-Kaplansky invariant of where is any ordinal. In the paper the invariants , , are calculated, provided . Further, a commutative ring with identity of prime characteristic is said...
A subgroup of a group is said to be complemented in if there exists a subgroup of such that and . In this paper we determine the structure of finite groups with some complemented primary subgroups, and obtain some new results about -nilpotent groups.
The aim of this paper is to extend the results of [BB-Ś2] concerning geometric quotients of actions of SL(2) to the case of good quotients. Thus the results of the present paper can be applied to any action of SL(2) on a complete smooth algebraic variety, while the theorems proved in [BB-Ś2] concerned only special situations.
Let be a maximal -order in a division quaternion algebra over which is split at the place . The present article gives an algorithm to compute a fundamental domain for the action of the group of units on the Bruhat-Tits tree associated to . This action is a function field analog of the action of a co-compact Fuchsian group on the upper half plane. The algorithm also yields an explicit presentation of the group in terms of generators and relations. Moreover we determine an upper bound...
