A note on supersoluble maximal subgroup and theta-pairs.

James C. Beidleman, Howard Smith (1993)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

A θ-pair for a maximal subgroup M of a group G is a pair (A, B) of subgroups such that B is a maximal G-invariant subgroup of A with B but not A contained in M. θ-pairs are considered here in some groups having supersoluble maximal subgroups.

A note on the continuous extensions of injective morphisms between free groups to relatively fre profinite groups.

Thierry Coulbois, Mark Sapir, Pascal Weil (2003)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let V be a pseudovariety of finite groups such that free groups are residually V, and let φ: F(A) → F(B) be an injective morphism between finitely generated free groups. We characterize the situations where the continuous extension φ' of φ between the pro-V completions of F(A) and F(B) is also injective. In particular, if V is extension-closed, this is the case if and only if φ(F(A)) and its pro-V closure in F(B) have the same rank. We examine a number of situations where the injectivity of φ' can...

A relatively free topological group that is not varietal free

Vladimir Pestov, Dmitri Shakhmatov (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Answering a 1982 question of Sidney A. Morris, we construct a topological group G and a subspace X such that (i) G is algebraically free over X, (ii) G is relatively free over X, that is, every continuous mapping from X to G extends to a unique continuous endomorphism of G, and (iii) G is not a varietal free topological group on X in any variety of topological groups.

A short proof of a theorem of Brodskii.

James Howie (2000)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

A short proof, using graphs and groupoids, is given of Brodskii’s theorem that torsion-free one-relator groups are locally indicable.
