On totally inert simple groups

Martyn Dixon, Martin Evans, Antonio Tortora (2010)

Open Mathematics

A subgroup H of a group G is inert if |H: H ∩ H g| is finite for all g ∈ G and a group G is totally inert if every subgroup H of G is inert. We investigate the structure of minimal normal subgroups of totally inert groups and show that infinite locally graded simple groups cannot be totally inert.

Periodic subgroups of projective linear groups in positive characteristic

Alla Detinko, Dane Flannery (2008)

Open Mathematics

We classify the maximal irreducible periodic subgroups of PGL(q, 𝔽 ), where 𝔽 is a field of positive characteristic p transcendental over its prime subfield, q = p is prime, and 𝔽 × has an element of order q. That is, we construct a list of irreducible subgroups G of GL(q, 𝔽 ) containing the centre 𝔽 ×1q of GL(q, 𝔽 ), such that G/ 𝔽 ×1q is a maximal periodic subgroup of PGL(q, 𝔽 ), and if H is another group of this kind then H is GL(q, 𝔽 )-conjugate to a group in the list. We give criteria for determining...

Properties of subgroups not containing their centralizers

Lemnouar Noui (2009)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

In this paper, we give a generalization of Baer Theorem on the injective property of divisible abelian groups. As consequences of the obtained result we find a sufficient condition for a group G to express as semi-direct product of a divisible subgroup D and some subgroup H . We also apply the main Theorem to the p -groups with center of index p 2 , for some prime p . For these groups we compute N c ( G ) the number of conjugacy classes and N a the number of abelian maximal subgroups and N n a the number of nonabelian...

Representation growth of linear groups

Michael Larsen, Alexander Lubotzky (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let Γ be a group and r n ( Γ ) the number of its n -dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function 𝒵 Γ ( s ) = n = 1 r n ( Γ ) n - s . When Γ is an arithmetic group satisfying the congruence subgroup property then 𝒵 Γ ( s ) has an “Euler factorization”. The “factor at infinity” is sometimes called the “Witten zeta function” counting the rational representations of an algebraic group. For these we determine precisely the abscissa of convergence. The local factor at a finite place...
