The centralizer of a classical group and Bruhat-Tits buildings

Daniel Skodlerack (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let G be a unitary group defined over a non-Archimedean local field of odd residue characteristic and let H be the centralizer of a semisimple rational Lie algebra element of G . We prove that the Bruhat-Tits building 𝔅 1 ( H ) of H can be affinely and G -equivariantly embedded in the Bruhat-Tits building 𝔅 1 ( G ) of G so that the Moy-Prasad filtrations are preserved. The latter property forces uniqueness in the following way. Let j and j be maps from 𝔅 1 ( H ) to 𝔅 1 ( G ) which preserve the Moy–Prasad filtrations. We prove that...

The Dehn functions of O u t ( F n ) and A u t ( F n )

Martin R. Bridson, Karen Vogtmann (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

For n at least 3, the Dehn functions of O u t ( F n ) and A u t ( F n ) are exponential. Hatcher and Vogtmann proved that they are at most exponential, and the complementary lower bound in the case n = 3 was established by Bridson and Vogtmann. Handel and Mosher completed the proof by reducing the lower bound for n bigger than 3 to the case n = 3 . In this note we give a shorter, more direct proof of this last reduction.

The divisible radical of a group

B.A.F. Wehrfritz (2009)

Open Mathematics

We consider the existence or otherwise of canonical divisible normal subgroups of groups in general. We present more counterexamples than positive results. These counterexamples constitute the substantive part of this paper.

The endocenter and its applications to quasigroup representation theory

Jon D. Phillips, Jonathan D. H. Smith (1991)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A construction is given, in a variety of groups, of a ``functorial center'' called the endocenter. The endocenter facilitates the identification of universal multiplication groups of groups in the variety, addressing the problem of determining when combinatorial multiplication groups are universal.

The Fibonacci automorphism of free Burnside groups

Ashot S. Pahlevanyan (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We prove that the Fibonacci morphism is an automorphism of infinite order of free Burnside groups for all odd n 665 and even n = 16 k 8000 .

The finite subgroups of maximal arithmetic kleinian groups

Ted Chinburg, Eduardo Friedman (2000)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Given a maximal arithmetic Kleinian group Γ PGL ( 2 , ) , we compute its finite subgroups in terms of the arithmetic data associated to Γ by Borel. This has applications to the study of arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
