Periodic subgroups of projective linear groups in positive characteristic

Alla Detinko, Dane Flannery (2008)

Open Mathematics

We classify the maximal irreducible periodic subgroups of PGL(q, 𝔽 ), where 𝔽 is a field of positive characteristic p transcendental over its prime subfield, q = p is prime, and 𝔽 × has an element of order q. That is, we construct a list of irreducible subgroups G of GL(q, 𝔽 ) containing the centre 𝔽 ×1q of GL(q, 𝔽 ), such that G/ 𝔽 ×1q is a maximal periodic subgroup of PGL(q, 𝔽 ), and if H is another group of this kind then H is GL(q, 𝔽 )-conjugate to a group in the list. We give criteria for determining...

P-nilpotent completion is not idempotent.

Geok Choo Tan (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let P be an arbitrary set of primes. The P-nilpotent completion of a group G is defined by the group homomorphism η: G → GP' where GP' = inv lim(G/ΓiG)P. Here Γ2G is the commutator subgroup [G,G] and ΓiG the subgroup [G, Γi−1G] when i > 2. In this paper, we prove that P-nilpotent completion of an infinitely generated free group F does not induce an isomorphism on the first homology group with ZP coefficients. Hence, P-nilpotent completion is not idempotent. Another important consequence of...

Polycyclic groups with automorphisms of order four

Tao Xu, Fang Zhou, Heguo Liu (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper, we study the structure of polycyclic groups admitting an automorphism of order four on the basis of Neumann’s result, and prove that if α is an automorphism of order four of a polycyclic group G and the map ϕ : G G defined by g ϕ = [ g , α ] is surjective, then G contains a characteristic subgroup H of finite index such that the second derived subgroup H ' ' is included in the centre of H and C H ( α 2 ) is abelian, both C G ( α 2 ) and G / [ G , α 2 ] are abelian-by-finite. These results extend recent and classical results in the literature....

Polyèdres finis de dimension 2 à courbure 0 et de rang 2

Sylvain Barré (1995)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

On définit localement la notion de polyèdre de rang deux pour un polyèdre fini de dimension deux à courbure négative ou nulle. On montre que le revêtement universel d’un tel espace est soit le produit de deux arbres, soit un immeuble de Tits euclidien de rang deux.
