A free group acting without fixed points on the rational unit sphere
An algorithm is given to decompose an automorphism of a finite vector space over ℤ₂ into a product of transvections. The procedure uses partitions of the indexing set of a redundant base. With respect to tents, i.e. finite ℤ₂-representations generated by a redundant base, this is a decomposition into base changes.
For every positive rational number q, we find a free group of rotations of rank 2 acting on (√q𝕊²) ∩ ℚ³ whose all elements distinct from the identity have no fixed point.
Let F be a field, A be a vector space over F, GL(F, A) be the group of all automorphisms of the vector space A. A subspace B of A is called nearly G-invariant, if dimF(BFG/B) is finite. A subspace B is called almost G-invariant, if dim F(B/Core G(B)) is finite. In the current article, we study linear groups G such that every subspace of A is either nearly G-invariant or almost G-invariant in the case when G is a soluble p-group where p = char F.
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....
The question of whether two parabolic elements A, B of SL2(C) are a free basis for the group they generate is considered. Some known results are generalized, using the parameter τ = tr(AB) - 2. If τ = a/b ∈ Q, |τ| < 4, and |a| ≤ 16, then the group is not free. If the subgroup generated by b in Z / aZ has a set of representatives, each of which divides one of b ± 1, then the subgroup of SL2(C) will not be free.
Let F be a field, A be a vector space over F, and GL(F,A) the group of all automorphisms of the vector space A. A subspace B of A is called nearly G-invariant, if dimF(BFG/B) is finite. A subspace B is called almost G-invariant, if dimF(B/CoreG(B)) is finite. In the present article we begin the study of subgroups G of GL(F,A) such that every subspace of A is either nearly G-invariant or almost G-invariant. More precisely, we consider the case when G is a periodic p′-group where p = charF.
The aim is to investigate the behaviour of (homomorphic images of) periodic linear groups which are factorized by mutually permutable subgroups. Mutually permutable subgroups have been extensively investigated in the finite case by several authors, among which, for our purposes, we only cite J. C. Beidleman and H. Heineken (2005). In a previous paper of ours (see M. Ferrara, M. Trombetti (2022)) we have been able to generalize the first main result of J. C. Beidleman, H. Heineken (2005) to periodic...
We classify the maximal irreducible periodic subgroups of PGL(q, ), where is a field of positive characteristic p transcendental over its prime subfield, q = p is prime, and × has an element of order q. That is, we construct a list of irreducible subgroups G of GL(q, ) containing the centre ×1q of GL(q, ), such that G/ ×1q is a maximal periodic subgroup of PGL(q, ), and if H is another group of this kind then H is GL(q, )-conjugate to a group in the list. We give criteria for determining...
