Parallelepipeds, nilpotent groups and Gowers norms

Bernard Host, Bryna Kra (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

In his proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem, Gowers introduced certain norms that are defined on a parallelepiped structure. A natural question is on which sets a parallelepiped structure (and thus a Gowers norm) can be defined. We focus on dimensions 2 and 3 and show when this possible, and describe a correspondence between the parallelepiped structures and nilpotent groups.

Periodic linear groups factorized by mutually permutable subgroups

Maria Ferrara, Marco Trombetti (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The aim is to investigate the behaviour of (homomorphic images of) periodic linear groups which are factorized by mutually permutable subgroups. Mutually permutable subgroups have been extensively investigated in the finite case by several authors, among which, for our purposes, we only cite J. C. Beidleman and H. Heineken (2005). In a previous paper of ours (see M. Ferrara, M. Trombetti (2022)) we have been able to generalize the first main result of J. C. Beidleman, H. Heineken (2005) to periodic...

Permutability of centre-by-finite groups

Brunetto Piochi (1989)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Let G be a group and m be an integer greater than or equal to 2 . G is said to be m -permutable if every product of m elements can be reordered at least in one way. We prove that, if G has a centre of finite index z , then G is ( 1 + [ z / 2 ] ) -permutable. More bounds are given on the least m such that G is m -permutable.

Presentations of finite simple groups: a computational approach

Robert Guralnick, William M. Kantor, Martin Kassabov, Alexander Lubotzky (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

All finite simple groups of Lie type of rank n over a field of size q , with the possible exception of the Ree groups 2 G 2 ( q ) , have presentations with at most 49 relations and bit-length O ( 𝚕𝚘𝚐 n + 𝚕𝚘𝚐 q ) . Moreover, A n and S n have presentations with 3 generators; 7 relations and bit-length O ( 𝚕𝚘𝚐 n ) , while 𝚂𝙻 ( n , q ) has a presentation with 6 generators, 25 relations and bit-length O ( 𝚕𝚘𝚐 n + 𝚕𝚘𝚐 q ) .

Prime divisors of conjugacy class lengths in finite groups

Carlo Casolo (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We show that in a finite group G which is p -nilpotent for at most one prime dividing its order, there exists an element whose conjugacy class length is divisible by more than half of the primes dividing G / Z G .
