Factorizations of One-Generated Composition Formations

A non-empty formation of finite groups is said to be solubly saturated, or we call it a composition formation, if every finite group G having a normal subgroup N such that belongs to . An intersection of all composition formations containing a given group G is denoted cformG. Conditions are described under which has the form , where .

Equational Theories for Classes of Finite Semigroups

It is proved that there exists an infinite sequence of finitely based semigroup varieties such that, for all i, an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is undecidable while an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is decidable. An infinite sequence of finitely based semigroup varieties is constructed so that, for all i, an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is decidable whicle an equational theory for and for the class of all finite semigroups in is not.     

Varieties Defined by Permutations

We continue to study interrelations between permutative varieties and the cyclic varieties defined by cycles of the form . A criterion is given determining whether a cyclic variety is interpretable in . For a permutation without fixed elements, it is stated that a set of primes for which is interpretable in in the lattice is finite. It is also proved that for distinct primes , the Helly number of a type in coincides with dimension of the dual type and equals .     

Semisimple Lie Algebras of Differential Operators

Starting from the commutation relations in a complex semisimple Lie algebra , one may obtain a space of vector fields on Euclidean space such that and are isomorphic when is equipped with the usual Lie bracket between vector fields and the isotropy subalgebra of is a Borel subalgebra . Furthermore, one may adjoin to the vector fields in multiplication operators to obtain an -parameter family of distinct presentations of as spaces of differential operators, where is the dual of a Cartan subalgebra. Some of these presentations will preserve a space of polynomials on Euclidean space, and, in fact, all the finite-dimensional representations of can be presented in this way. All of this is carried out explicitly for arbitrary . In doing so, one discovers there is a Lie group of diffeomorphisms of the unipotent subgroup N complementary to B which acts on these presentations and preserves a certain notion of weight.

An Application of U(g)-bimodules to Representation Theory of Affine Lie Algebras

Let be the affine Lie algebra associated to the simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra . We consider the tensor product of the loop -module associated to the irreducible finite-dimensional -module V() and the irreducible highest weight -module L _k,. Then L _k, can be viewed as an irreducible module for the vertex operator algebra M _k,0. Let A(L _k,) be the corresponding -bimodule. We prove that if the -module is zero, then the -module is irreducible. As an example, we apply this result on integrable representations for affine Lie algebras.     

Automorphisms of Aschbacher Graphs

If a regular graph of valence and diameter has vertices, then , which was proved by Moore (cf. [1]). Graphs for which this non-strict inequality turns into an equality are called Moore graphs. Such have an odd girth equal to . The simplest example of a Moore graph is furnished by a -triangle. Damerell proved that a Moore graph of valence has diameter 2. In this case , the graph is strongly regular with and , and the valence is equal to 3 (Peterson's graph), to 7 (Hoffman–Singleton's graph), or to 57. The first two graphs are of rank 3. Whether a Moore graph of valence exists is not known; yet, Aschbacher proved that the Moore graph with will not be a rank 3 graph. We call the Moore graph with the Aschbacher graph. Cameron showed that such cannot be vertex transitive. Here, we treat subgraphs of fixed points of Moore graph automorphisms and an automorphism group of the hypothetical Aschbacher graph for the case where that group contains an involution.     

Homological Dimensions of the Algebra Formed by Entire Functions of Elements of a Nilpotent Lie Algebra

This note deals with homological characteristics of algebras of holomorphic functions of noncommuting variables generated by a finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra . It is proved that the embedding of the universal enveloping algebra of into its Arens–Michael hull is an absolute localization in the sense of Taylor provided that      

Frobenius Groups Generated by Quadratic Elements

An automorphism of a group X is said to be quadratic if there exist integers and such that for any . If is a Frobenius group then an element is said to be quadratic if induces, by conjugation in the core of , a quadratic automorphism. By definition, a group H acts on a group F freely if for and only with or . It is proved that a Frobenius group generated by two quadratic elements is finite and its core is commutative. In particular, any Frobenius group generated by two elements of order at most 4 is finite. Also we argue that a Frobenius group with finitely generated soluble core is finite. The results mentioned are used to show that a group acting freely on an Abelian group is finite if it is generated by elements of order 3, and the order of a product of every two elements of order 3 in is finite.     

A Question in the Theory of Totally Local Formations of Finite Groups

We obtain the decomposition of the tensor space as a module for , find an explicit formula for the multiplicities of its irreducible summands, and (when n 2k) describe the centralizer algebra = ( ) and its representations. The multiplicities of the irreducible summands are derangement numbers in several important instances, and the dimension of is given by the number of derangements of a set of 2k elements.     

A New Cover of the 3-Local Geometry of Co1

The 3-local geometry of the sporadic simple group Co₁ has been known to have a cover with a flag-transitive automorphism group which is a nonsplit extension of an elementary Abelian 2-group of rank 24 (the Leech lattice modulo 2) by Co₁. It was conjectured that was simply connected. We disprove this conjecture by constructing a double cover of . The automorphism group of is of the shape . However, it is not isomorphic to the involution centralizer of the Monster sporadic simple group.

Let qG be a quasivariety generated by a group G and be a non-Abelian quasivariety of groups with a finite lattice of subquasivarieties. Suppose is contained in a quasivariety generated by the following two groups: a free 2-nilpotent group F₂( ₂) of rank 2 and a free metabelian (i.e., with an Abelian commutant) group F₂( ₂) of rank 2. It is proved that either = qF₂( ₂) or = qF₂( ₂) in this instance.__________Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 389–398, July–August, 2005.

Let be a Kac–Moody algebra, U(x,y) be a function defined in , and a be a constant element of . We prove that the equation U _xy = [[U,a],U _x] has two symmetry hierarchies connected by a gauge transformation. In particular, the well-known Konno equation appears in the case of the algebra . The corresponding symmetry hierarchies contain the nonlinear Schrödinger and the Heisenberg magnet equations.

We prove that , and are distributive lattices, with and where ub and ub_f are lattices (w.r.t. inclusion) of all subsets of the set and of finite subsets of , respectively.Deceased.__________Translated from Algebra i Logika, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 198–210, March–April, 2005.     

Two-Parameter Quantum Groups and Drinfel'd Doubles

We investigate two-parameter quantum groups corresponding to the general linear and special linear Lie algebras and . We show that these quantum groups can be realized as Drinfel'd doubles of certain Hopf subalgebras with respect to Hopf pairings. Using the Hopf pairing, we construct a corresponding R-matrix and a quantum Casimir element. We discuss isomorphisms among these quantum groups and connections with multiparameter quantum groups.
