Amenable, transitive and faithful actions of groups acting on trees

Pierre Fima (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study under which condition an amalgamated free product or an HNN-extension over a finite subgroup admits an amenable, transitive and faithful action on an infinite countable set. We show that such an action exists if the initial groups admit an amenable and almost free action with infinite orbits (e.g. virtually free groups or infinite amenable groups). Our result relies on the Baire category Theorem. We extend the result to groups acting on trees.

An addendum and corrigendum to "Almost free splitters" (Colloq. Math. 81 (1999), 193-221)

Rüdiger Göbel, Saharon Shelah (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let R be a subring of the rational numbers ℚ. We recall from [3] that an R-module G is a splitter if E x t ¹ R ( G , G ) = 0 . In this note we correct the statement of Main Theorem 1.5 in [3] and discuss the existence of non-free splitters of cardinality ℵ₁ under the negation of the special continuum hypothesis CH.

An algebraic characterization of geodetic graphs

Ladislav Nebeský (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We say that a binary operation * is associated with a (finite undirected) graph G (without loops and multiple edges) if * is defined on V ( G ) and u v E ( G ) if and only if u v , u * v = v and v * u = u for any u , v V ( G ) . In the paper it is proved that a connected graph G is geodetic if and only if there exists a binary operation associated with G which fulfils a certain set of four axioms. (This characterization is obtained as an immediate consequence of a stronger result proved in the paper).

An alternative way to classify some Generalized Elliptic Curves and their isotopic loops

Lucien Bénéteau, M. Abou Hashish (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The Generalized Elliptic Curves ( GECs ) are pairs ( Q , T ) , where T is a family of triples ( x , y , z ) of “points” from the set Q characterized by equalities of the form x . y = z , where the law x . y makes Q into a totally symmetric quasigroup. Isotopic loops arise by setting x * y = u . ( x . y ) . When ( x . y ) . ( a . b ) = ( x . a ) . ( y . b ) , identically ( Q , T ) is an entropic GEC and ( Q , * ) is an abelian group. Similarly, a terentropic GEC may be characterized by x 2 . ( a . b ) = ( x . a ) ( x . b ) and ( Q , * ) is then a Commutative Moufang Loop ( CML ) . If in addition x 2 = x , we have Hall GECs and ( Q , * ) is an exponent 3
