On non-Hopfian groups of fractions

Olga Macedońska (2017)

Open Mathematics

The group of fractions of a semigroup S, if exists, can be written as G = SS−1. If S is abelian, then G must be abelian. We say that a semigroup identity is transferable if being satisfied in S it must be satisfied in G = SS−1. One of problems posed by G.Bergman in 1981 asks whether the group G must satisfy every semigroup identity which is satisfied in S, that is whether every semigroup identity is transferable. The first non-transferable identities were constructed in 2005 by S.V.Ivanov and A.M....

On non-periodic groups whose finitely generated subgroups are either permutable or pronormal

L. A. Kurdachenko, I. Ya. Subbotin, T. I. Ermolkevich (2013)

Mathematica Bohemica

The current article considers some infinite groups whose finitely generated subgroups are either permutable or pronormal. A group G is called a generalized radical, if G has an ascending series whose factors are locally nilpotent or locally finite. The class of locally generalized radical groups is quite wide. For instance, it includes all locally finite, locally soluble, and almost locally soluble groups. The main result of this paper is the followingTheorem. Let G be a locally generalized radical...

On normal subgroups of compact groups

Nikolay Nikolov, Dan Segal (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Among compact Hausdorff groups G whose maximal profinite quotient is finitely generated, we characterize those that possess a proper dense normal subgroup. We also prove that the abstract commutator subgroup [ H , G ] is closed for every closed normal subgroup H of G .

On Parabolic Subgroups and Hecke Algebras of some Fractal Groups

Bartholdi, Laurent, Grigorchuk, Rostislav (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

* The authors thank the “Swiss National Science Foundation” for its support.We study the subgroup structure, Hecke algebras, quasi-regular representations, and asymptotic properties of some fractal groups of branch type. We introduce parabolic subgroups, show that they are weakly maximal, and that the corresponding quasi-regular representations are irreducible. These (infinite-dimensional) representations are approximated by finite-dimensional quasi-regular representations. The Hecke algebras...
