Every 2 -group with all subgroups normal-by-finite is locally finite

Enrico Jabara (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A group G has all of its subgroups normal-by-finite if H / H G is finite for all subgroups H of G . The Tarski-groups provide examples of p -groups ( p a “large” prime) of nonlocally finite groups in which every subgroup is normal-by-finite. The aim of this paper is to prove that a 2 -group with every subgroup normal-by-finite is locally finite. We also prove that if | H / H G | 2 for every subgroup H of G , then G contains an Abelian subgroup of index at most 8 .

Every braid admits a short sigma-definite expression

Jean Fromentin (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A result by Dehornoy (1992) says that every nontrivial braid admits a σ -definite expression, defined as a braid word in which the generator σ i with maximal index i appears with exponents that are all positive, or all negative. This is the ground result for ordering braids. In this paper, we enhance this result and prove that every braid admits a σ -definite word expression that, in addition, is quasi-geodesic. This establishes a longstanding conjecture. Our proof uses the dual braid monoid and a new...

Expansion and random walks in SL d ( / p n ) : I

Jean Bourgain, Alex Gamburd (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We prove that the Cayley graphs of SL d ( / p n ) are expanders with respect to the projection of any fixed elements in SL d ( ) generating a Zariski dense subgroup.

Expansion in S L d ( 𝒪 K / I ) , I square-free

Péter P. Varjú (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let S be a fixed symmetric finite subset of S L d ( 𝒪 K ) that generates a Zariski dense subgroup of S L d ( 𝒪 K ) when we consider it as an algebraic group over m a t h b b Q by restriction of scalars. We prove that the Cayley graphs of S L d ( 𝒪 K / I ) with respect to the projections of S is an expander family if I ranges over square-free ideals of 𝒪 K if d = 2 and K is an arbitrary numberfield, or if d = 3 and K = .
