The periodicity conjecture for blocks of group algebras

Karin Erdmann, Andrzej Skowroński (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We describe the representation-infinite blocks B of the group algebras KG of finite groups G over algebraically closed fields K for which all simple modules are periodic with respect to the action of the syzygy operators. In particular, we prove that all such blocks B are periodic algebras of period 4. This confirms the periodicity conjecture for blocks of group algebras.

The permutation group method for the dilogarithm

Georges Rhin, Carlo Viola (2005)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We give qualitative and quantitative improvements on all the best previously known irrationality results for dilogarithms of positive rational numbers. We obtain such improvements by applying our permutation group method to the diophantine study of double integrals of rational functions related to the dilogarithm.

The p-period of an infinite group.

Xia Yining (1992)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

For Γ a group of finite virtual cohomological dimension and a prime p, the p-period of Γ is defined to be the least positive integer d such that Farrell cohomology groups Hi(Γ; M) and Hi+d(Γ; M) have naturally isomorphic ZΓ modules M.We generalize a result of Swan on the p-period of a finite p-periodic group to a p-periodic infinite group, i.e., we prove that the p-period of a p-periodic group Γ of finite vcd is 2LCM(|N(〈x〉) / C(〈x〉)|) if the Γ has a finite quotient whose a p-Sylow subgroup is elementary...

The prevalence of permutations with infinite cycles

Randall Dougherty, Jan Mycielski (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A number of recent papers have been devoted to the study of prevalence, a generalization of the property of being of full Haar measure to topological groups which need not have a Haar measure, and the dual concept of shyness. These concepts give a notion of "largeness" which often differs from the category analogue, comeagerness, and may be closer to the intuitive notion of "almost everywhere." In this paper, we consider the group of permutations of natural numbers. Here, in the sense of category,...
