On exponential growth rates for free groups.

Malik Koubi (1998)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let Fp be a free group of rank p ≥ 2. It is well-known that, with respect to a p-element generating set, that is, a basis, the exponential growth rate of Fp is 2p-1. We show that the exponential growth rate τ of a group G with respect to a p-element generating set X is 2p-1 if and only if G is free on X; otherwise τ < 2p-1. We also prove that, for any finite generating set X of Fp which is disjoint from X-1, the exponential growth rate τ of Fp with respect to X is 2p-1 if and only if X is...

On finite abelian groups realizable as Mislin genera.

Peter Hilton, Dirk Scevenels (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

We study the realizability of finite abelian groups as Mislin genera of finitely generated nilpotent groups with finite commutator subgroup. In particular, we give criteria to decide whether a finite abelian group is realizable as the Mislin genus of a direct product of nilpotent groups of a certain specified type. In the case of a positive answer, we also give an effective way of realizing that abelian group as a genus. Further, we obtain some non-realizability results.
