Crossed product of cyclic groups

Ana-Loredana Agore, Dragoş Frățilă (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

All crossed products of two cyclic groups are explicitly described using generators and relations. A necessary and sufficient condition for an extension of a group by a group to be a cyclic group is given.

Cyclic and dihedral constructions of even order

Aleš Drápal (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let G ( ) and G ( * ) be two groups of finite order n , and suppose that they share a normal subgroup S such that u v = u * v if u S or v S . Cases when G / S is cyclic or dihedral and when u v u * v for exactly n 2 / 4 pairs ( u , v ) G × G have been shown to be of crucial importance when studying pairs of 2-groups with the latter property. In such cases one can describe two general constructions how to get all possible G ( * ) from a given G = G ( ) . The constructions, denoted by G [ α , h ] and G [ β , γ , h ] , respectively, depend on a coset α (or two cosets β and γ ) modulo S , and on an...

Deformation theory and finite simple quotients of triangle groups I

Michael Larsen, Alexander Lubotzky, Claude Marion (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let 2 a b c with μ = 1 / a + 1 / b + 1 / c < 1 and let T = T a , b , c = x , y , z : x a = y b = z c = x y z = 1 be the corresponding hyperbolic triangle group. Many papers have been dedicated to the following question: what are the finite (simple) groups which appear as quotients of T ? (Classically, for ( a , b , c ) = ( 2 , 3 , 7 ) and more recently also for general ( a , b , c ) .) These papers have used either explicit constructive methods or probabilistic ones. The goal of this paper is to present a new approach based on the theory of representation varieties (via deformation theory). As a corollary we essentially prove...
