The central heights of stability groups of series in vector spaces

Bertram A. F. Wehrfritz (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We compute the central heights of the full stability groups S of ascending series and of descending series of subspaces in vector spaces over fields and division rings. The aim is to develop at least partial right analogues of results on left Engel elements and related nilpotent radicals in such S proved recently by Casolo & Puglisi, by Traustason and by the current author. Perhaps surprisingly, while there is an absolute bound on these central heights for descending series, for ascending series...

Torsion matrices over commutative integral group rings.

Gregory T. Lee, Sudarshan K. Sehgal (2000)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let ZA be the integral group ring of a finite abelian group A, and n a positive integer greater than 5. We provide conditions on n and A under which every torsion matrix U, with identity augmentation, in GLn(ZA) is conjugate in GLn(QA) to a diagonal matrix with group elements on the diagonal. When A is infinite, we show that under similar conditions, U has a group trace and is stably conjugate to such a diagonal matrix.
