The Automorphism Group of the Free Algebra of Rank Two

Cohn, P. (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

The theorem of Czerniakiewicz and Makar-Limanov, that all the automorphisms of a free algebra of rank two are tame is proved here by showing that the group of these automorphisms is the free product of two groups (amalgamating their intersection), the group of all affine automorphisms and the group of all triangular automorphisms. The method consists in finding a bipolar structure. As a consequence every finite subgroup of automorphisms (in characteristic zero) is shown to be conjugate to a group...

The Banach-Tarski paradox for the hyperbolic plane (II)

Jan Mycielski, Grzegorz Tomkowicz (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The second author found a gap in the proof of the main theorem in [J. Mycielski, Fund. Math. 132 (1989), 143-149]. Here we fill that gap and add some remarks about the geometry of the hyperbolic plane ℍ².

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.
