On multiplicative bases in abelian groups
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20M20, 20M10.We describe maximal nilpotent subsemigroups of a given nilpotency class in the semigroup Ωn of all n × n real matrices with non-negative coefficients and the semigroup Dn of all doubly stochastic real matrices.
A well known result of R. Dedekind states that a lattice is nonmodular if and only if it has a sublattice isomorphic to . Similarly a lattice is nondistributive if and only if it has a sublattice isomorphic to or (see [11]). Recently a few results in this spirit were obtained involving the number of polynomials of an algebra (see e.g. [1], [3], [5], [6]). In this paper we prove that a nondistributive Steiner quasigroup (G,·) has at least 21 essentially ternary polynomials (which improves the...
The group of fractions of a semigroup S, if exists, can be written as G = SS−1. If S is abelian, then G must be abelian. We say that a semigroup identity is transferable if being satisfied in S it must be satisfied in G = SS−1. One of problems posed by G.Bergman in 1981 asks whether the group G must satisfy every semigroup identity which is satisfied in S, that is whether every semigroup identity is transferable. The first non-transferable identities were constructed in 2005 by S.V.Ivanov and A.M....
The current article considers some infinite groups whose finitely generated subgroups are either permutable or pronormal. A group is called a generalized radical, if has an ascending series whose factors are locally nilpotent or locally finite. The class of locally generalized radical groups is quite wide. For instance, it includes all locally finite, locally soluble, and almost locally soluble groups. The main result of this paper is the followingTheorem. Let be a locally generalized radical...
Let be a reductive algebraic group, a parabolic subgroup of with unipotent radical , and a closed connected subgroup of which is normalized by . We show that acts on with finitely many orbits provided is abelian. This generalizes a well-known finiteness result, namely the case when is central in . We also obtain an analogous result for the adjoint action of on invariant linear subspaces of the Lie algebra of which are abelian Lie algebras. Finally, we discuss a connection...
Among compact Hausdorff groups whose maximal profinite quotient is finitely generated, we characterize those that possess a proper dense normal subgroup. We also prove that the abstract commutator subgroup is closed for every closed normal subgroup of .
