A conjugacy theorem for subgroups of containing the group of diagonal matrices
In this note we explain why the group of n×n upper triangular matrices is defined usually over commutative ring while the full general linear group is defined over any associative ring.
We give a criterion which ensures that a group generated by Cartan involutions in the automorph group of a rational quadratic form of signature is “thin”, namely it is of infinite index in the latter. It is based on a graph defined on the integral Cartan root vectors, as well as Vinberg’s theory of hyperbolic reflection groups. The criterion is shown to be robust for showing that many hyperbolic hypergeometric groups for are thin.
Let A be an R G-module, where R is an integral domain and G is a soluble group. Suppose that C G(A) = 1 and A/C A(G) is not a noetherian R-module. Let L nnd(G) be the family of all subgroups H of G such that A/C A(H) is not a noetherian R-module. In this paper we study the structure of those G for which L nnd(G) satisfies the maximal condition.
Let be an associative ring with 1 and the multiplicative group of invertible elements of . In the paper, subgroups of which may be regarded as analogues of the similitude group of a non-degenerate sesquilinear reflexive form and of the isometry group of such a form are defined in an abstract way. The main result states that a unipotent abstractly defined similitude must belong to the corresponding abstractly defined isometry group.
