Non-abelian group structure on the Urysohn universal space

Michal Doucha (2015)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that there exists a non-abelian group structure on the Urysohn universal metric space. More precisely, we introduce a variant of the Graev metric that enables us to construct a free group with countably many generators equipped with a two-sided invariant metric that is isometric to the rational Urysohn space. We list several related open problems.

Non-free two-generator subgroups of SL2(Q).

S. Peter Farbman (1995)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The question of whether two parabolic elements A, B of SL2(C) are a free basis for the group they generate is considered. Some known results are generalized, using the parameter τ = tr(AB) - 2. If τ = a/b ∈ Q, |τ| < 4, and |a| ≤ 16, then the group is not free. If the subgroup generated by b in Z / aZ has a set of representatives, each of which divides one of b ± 1, then the subgroup of SL2(C) will not be free.

Non-nilpotent subgroups of locally graded groups

Mohammad Zarrin (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that a locally graded group with a finite number m of non-(nilpotent of class at most n) subgroups is (soluble of class at most [log₂n] + m + 3)-by-(finite of order ≤ m!). We also show that the derived length of a soluble group with a finite number m of non-(nilpotent of class at most n) subgroups is at most [log₂ n] + m + 1.

Nonsplitting F-quasigroups

Stephen Gagola III (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

T. Kepka, M.K. Kinyon and J.D. Phillips: The structure of F-quasigroups, J. Algebra 317 (2007), no. 2, 435–461 developed a connection between F-quasigroups and NK-loops. Since NK-loops are contained in the variety generated by groups and commutative Moufang loops, a question that arises is whether or not there exists a nonsplit NK-loop and likewise a nonsplit F-quasigroup. Here we prove that there do indeed exist nonsplit F-quasigroups and show that there are exactly four corresponding nonsplit...
