The set of minimal distances in Krull monoids

Alfred Geroldinger, Qinghai Zhong (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Let H be a Krull monoid with class group G. Then every nonunit a ∈ H can be written as a finite product of atoms, say a = u 1 · . . . · u k . The set (a) of all possible factorization lengths k is called the set of lengths of a. If G is finite, then there is a constant M ∈ ℕ such that all sets of lengths are almost arithmetical multiprogressions with bound M and with difference d ∈ Δ*(H), where Δ*(H) denotes the set of minimal distances of H. We show that max Δ*(H) ≤ maxexp(G)-2,(G)-1 and that equality holds if every...

The small Ree group 2 G 2 ( 3 2 n + 1 ) and related graph

Alireza K. Asboei, Seyed S. S. Amiri (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let G be a finite group. The main supergraph 𝒮 ( G ) is a graph with vertex set G in which two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if o ( x ) o ( y ) or o ( y ) o ( x ) . In this paper, we will show that G 2 G 2 ( 3 2 n + 1 ) if and only if 𝒮 ( G ) 𝒮 ( 2 G 2 ( 3 2 n + 1 ) ) . As a main consequence of our result we conclude that Thompson’s problem is true for the small Ree group 2 G 2 ( 3 2 n + 1 ) .

The square model for random groups

Tomasz Odrzygóźdź (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We introduce a new random group model called the square model: we quotient a free group on n generators by a random set of relations, each of which is a reduced word of length 4. We prove that, just as in the Gromov model, for densities > 1/2 a random group in the square model is trivial with overwhelming probability and for densities < 1/2 a random group is hyperbolic with overwhelming probability. Moreover, we show that for densities d < 1/3 a random group in the square model does not...
