Automorphic loops and metabelian groups

Mark Greer, Lee Raney (2020)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Given a uniquely 2-divisible group G , we study a commutative loop ( G , ) which arises as a result of a construction in “Engelsche elemente noetherscher gruppen” (1957) by R. Baer. We investigate some general properties and applications of “ ” and determine a necessary and sufficient condition on G in order for ( G , ) to be Moufang. In “A class of loops categorically isomorphic to Bruck loops of odd order” (2014) by M. Greer, it is conjectured that G is metabelian if and only if ( G , ) is an automorphic loop. We...

Automorphic realization of residual Galois representations

Robert Guralnick, Michael Harris, Nicholas M. Katz (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that it is possible in rather general situations to obtain a finite-dimensional modular representation ρ of the Galois group of a number field F as a constituent of one of the modular Galois representations attached to automorphic representations of a general linear group over F , provided one works “potentially.” The proof is based on a close study of the monodromy of the Dwork family of Calabi–Yau hypersurfaces; this in turn makes use of properties of rigid local systems and the classification...

Automorphism groups of polycyclic-by-finite groups and arithmetic groups

Oliver Baues, Fritz Grunewald (2006)

Publications Mathématiques de l'IHÉS

We show that the outer automorphism group of a polycyclic-by-finite group is an arithmetic group. This result follows from a detailed structural analysis of the automorphism groups of such groups. We use an extended version of the theory of the algebraic hull functor initiated by Mostow. We thus make applicable refined methods from the theory of algebraic and arithmetic groups. We also construct examples of polycyclic-by-finite groups which have an automorphism group which does not contain an arithmetic...

Automorphism groups of right-angled buildings: simplicity and local splittings

Pierre-Emmanuel Caprace (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that the group of type-preserving automorphisms of any irreducible semiregular thick right-angled building is abstractly simple. When the building is locally finite, this gives a large family of compactly generated abstractly simple locally compact groups. Specialising to appropriate cases, we obtain examples of such simple groups that are locally indecomposable, but have locally normal subgroups decomposing non-trivially as direct products, all of whose factors are locally normal.
