-groups, diagonalizable automorphisms and loops
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 and and show when this possible, and describe a correspondence between the parallelepiped structures and nilpotent groups.
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...
Let be a group and be an integer greater than or equal to . is said to be -permutable if every product of elements can be reordered at least in one way. We prove that, if has a centre of finite index , then is -permutable. More bounds are given on the least such that is -permutable.
All finite simple groups of Lie type of rank over a field of size , with the possible exception of the Ree groups , have presentations with at most 49 relations and bit-length . Moreover, and have presentations with 3 generators; 7 relations and bit-length , while has a presentation with 6 generators, 25 relations and bit-length .
We show that in a finite group which is -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 .
