Limit groups and groups acting freely on -trees.
We describe finitely generated groups universally equivalent (with constants from in the language) to a given torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group with free abelian parabolics. It turns out that, as in the free group case, the group embeds into the Lyndon’s completion of the group , or, equivalently, embeds into a group obtained from by finitely many extensions of centralizers. Conversely, every subgroup of containing is universally equivalent to . Since finitely generated...
Let G be a locally finite group satisfying the condition given in the title and suppose that G is not nilpotent-by-Chernikov. It is shown that G has a section S that is not nilpotent-by-Chernikov, where S is either a p-group or a semi-direct product of the additive group A of a locally finite field F by a subgroup K of the multiplicative group of F, where K acts by multiplication on A and generates F as a ring. Non-(nilpotent-by-Chernikov) extensions of this latter kind exist and are described in...
This paper deals with one of the ways of studying infinite groups many of whose subgroups have a prescribed property, namely the consideration of minimal conditions. If P is a theoretical property of groups and subgroups, we show that a locally graded group P satisfies the minimal conditions for subgroups not having P if and only if either G is a Cernikov group or every subgroup of G satisfies P, for certain values of P concerning normality, nilpotency and related ideas.
Locally solid Riesz spaces have been widely investigated in the past several decades; but locally solid topological lattice-ordered groups seem to be largely unexplored. The paper is an attempt to initiate a relatively systematic study of locally solid topological lattice-ordered groups. We give both Roberts-Namioka-type characterization and Fremlin-type characterization of locally solid topological lattice-ordered groups. In particular, we show that a group topology on a lattice-ordered group is...
Let G be an infinite, locally soluble group which is isomorphic to all its nontrivial normal subgroups. If G/G' has finite p-rank for p = 0 and for all primes p, then G is cyclic.
A group has subnormal deviation at most if, for every descending chain of non-subnormal subgroups of , for all but finitely many there is no infinite descending chain of non-subnormal subgroups of that contain and are contained in . This property , say, was investigated in a previous paper by the authors, where soluble groups with and locally nilpotent groups with were effectively classified. The present article affirms a conjecture from that article by showing that locally soluble-by-finite...
