A tropical view on Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications

Annette Werner (2011)

Open Mathematics

We relate some features of Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications to tropical geometry. If G is a semisimple group over a suitable non-Archimedean field, the stabilizers of points in the Bruhat-Tits building of G and in some of its compactifications are described by tropical linear algebra. The compactifications we consider arise from algebraic representations of G. We show that the fan which is used to compactify an apartment in this theory is given by the weight polytope of the representation...

A weak type (1,1) estimate for a maximal operator on a group of isometries of a homogeneous tree

Michael G. Cowling, Stefano Meda, Alberto G. Setti (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give a simple proof of a result of R. Rochberg and M. H. Taibleson that various maximal operators on a homogeneous tree, including the Hardy-Littlewood and spherical maximal operators, are of weak type (1,1). This result extends to corresponding maximal operators on a transitive group of isometries of the tree, and in particular for (nonabelian finitely generated) free groups.

Abelian groups have/are near Frattini subgroups

Simion Breaz, Grigore Călugăreanu (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The notions of nearly-maximal and near Frattini subgroups considered by J.B. Riles in [20] and the natural related notions are characterized for abelian groups.

Abelian quasinormal subgroups of groups

Stewart E. Stonehewer, Giovanni Zacher (2004)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Let G be any group and let A be an abelian quasinormal subgroup of G . If n is any positive integer, either odd or divisible by 4 , then we prove that the subgroup A n is also quasinormal in G .
