Cellular covers of cotorsion-free modules

Rüdiger Göbel, José L. Rodríguez, Lutz Strüngmann (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In this paper we improve recent results dealing with cellular covers of R-modules. Cellular covers (sometimes called colocalizations) come up in the context of homotopical localization of topological spaces. They are related to idempotent cotriples, idempotent comonads or coreflectors in category theory. Recall that a homomorphism of R-modules π: G → H is called a cellular cover over H if π induces an isomorphism π : H o m R ( G , G ) H o m R ( G , H ) , where π⁎(φ) = πφ for each φ H o m R ( G , G ) (where maps are acting on the left). On the one hand,...

Central sequences in the factor associated with Thompson’s group F

Paul Jolissaint (1998)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We prove that the type II 1 factor L ( F ) generated by the regular representation of F is isomorphic to its tensor product with the hyperfinite type II 1 factor. This implies that the unitary group of L ( F ) is contractible with respect to the topology defined by the natural Hilbertian norm.

Centralizers of gap groups

Toshio Sumi (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A finite group G is called a gap group if there exists an ℝG-module which has no large isotropy groups except at zero and satisfies the gap condition. The gap condition facilitates the process of equivariant surgery. Many groups are gap groups and also many groups are not. In this paper, we clarify the relation between a gap group and the structures of its centralizers. We show that a nonsolvable group which has a normal, odd prime power index proper subgroup is a gap group.
