Hilbert symbols, class groups and quaternion algebras

Ted Chinburg, Eduardo Friedman (2000)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let B be a quaternion algebra over a number field k . To a pair of Hilbert symbols { a , b } and { c , d } for B we associate an invariant ρ = ρ R [ 𝒟 ( a , b ) ] , [ 𝒟 ( c , d ) ] in a quotient of the narrow ideal class group of k . This invariant arises from the study of finite subgroups of maximal arithmetic kleinian groups. It measures the distance between orders 𝒟 ( a , b ) and 𝒟 ( c , d ) in B associated to { a , b } and { c , d } . If a = c , we compute ρ R ( [ 𝒟 ( a , b ) ] , [ 𝒟 ( c , d ) ] ) by means of arithmetic in the field k ( a ) . The problem of extending this algorithm to the general case leads to studying a finite graph associated...

Holonomy groups of flat manifolds with the R property

Rafał Lutowski, Andrzej Szczepański (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let M be a flat manifold. We say that M has the R property if the Reidemeister number R(f) is infinite for every homeomorphism f: M → M. We investigate relations between the holonomy representation ρ of M and the R property. When the holonomy group of M is solvable we show that if ρ has a unique ℝ-irreducible subrepresentation of odd degree then M has the R property. This result is related to Conjecture 4.8 in [K. Dekimpe et al., Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 34 (2009)].

Hyperbolic monodromy groups for the hypergeometric equation and Cartan involutions

Elena Fuchs, Chen Meiri, Peter Sarnak (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We give a criterion which ensures that a group generated by Cartan involutions in the automorph group of a rational quadratic form of signature ( n - 1 , 1 ) 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 n F n - 1 are thin.

Infinite dimensional linear groups with many G - invariant subspaces

Leonid Kurdachenko, Alexey Sadovnichenko, Igor Subbotin (2010)

Open Mathematics

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.
