Malnormal subgroups occur in various contexts. We review a large number of examples, and compare the general situation to that of finite Frobenius groups of permutations.In a companion paper [18], we analyse when peripheral subgroups of knot groups and -manifold groups are malnormal.
Let B be a 3-dimensional handlebody of genus g. Let ℳ be the group of the isotopy classes of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of B. We construct a 2-dimensional simplicial complex X, connected and simply-connected, on which ℳ acts by simplicial transformations and has only a finite number of orbits. From this action we derive an explicit finite presentation of ℳ.
We prove a Margulis’ Lemma à la Besson-Courtois-Gallot, for manifolds whose fundamental group is a nontrivial free product , without 2-torsion. Moreover, if is torsion-free we give a lower bound for the homotopy systole in terms of upper bounds on the diameter and the volume-entropy. We also provide examples and counterexamples showing the optimality of our assumption. Finally we give two applications of this result: a finiteness theorem and a volume estimate for reducible manifolds.
Let and for and when for , we obtain an effective archimedean counting result for a discrete orbit of in a homogeneous space where is the trivial group, a symmetric subgroup or a horospherical subgroup. More precisely, we show that for any effectively well-rounded family of compact subsets, there exists such that for an explicit measure on which depends on . We also apply the affine sieve and describe the distribution of almost primes on orbits of in arithmetic settings....
Let k be a commutative field. Let G be a locally finite group without elements of order p in case char k = p > 0. In this paper it is proved that the type I∞ part of the maximal right quotient ring of the group algebra kG is zero.
