The probability that <Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis> elements of a rank <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> free group generate a rank <Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis> subgroup

Granted the three integers n ≥ 2, r, and R, consider all ordered tuples of r elements of length at most R in the free group F _n . Calculate the number of those tuples that generate in F _n a rank r subgroup and divide it by the number of all tuples under study. As R → ∞, the limit of the ratio is known to exist and equal 1 (see [1]). We give a simple proof of this result.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Nuclearity in a New Perspective

In this Letter we try to settle some confused points concerning the use of the notion of p-nuclearity in the mathematical and physical literature, pointing out that the nuclearity index in the physicists’ sense vanishes for any p> 1. Our discussion of these issues suggests a new perspective, in terms of ε-entropy and operator spaces, which might permit connections to be drawn between phase space criteria and quantum energy inequalities.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 81T05, 47B10, 47L25.     

Modular Group Algebras with Almost Maximal Lie Nilpotency Indices

Let be a field of positive characteristic and the group algebra of a group . It is known that, if is Lie nilpotent, then its upper (and lower) Lie nilpotency index is at most , where is the order of the commutator subgroup. The authors previously determined those groups for which this index is maximal and here they determine the groups for which it is `almost maximal', that is, it takes the next highest possible value, namely .Presented by V.

Rank Tests Based on Exceeding Observations

Rank tests based on the maximum number of exceeding observations for several standard nonparametric hypotheses are proposed. An approach to constructing nonparametric rank tests via metrics on the permutation group is used. The test statistics are based on a metric induced by Chebyshev's norm.     

Critical exponents of discrete groups and -spectrum

Let be a noncompact semisimple Lie group and an arbitrary discrete, torsion-free subgroup of . Let be the bottom of the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the locally symmetric space , and let be the exponent of growth of . If has rank , then these quantities are related by a well-known formula due to Elstrodt, Patterson, Sullivan and Corlette. In this note we generalize that relation to the higher rank case by estimating from above and below by quadratic polynomials in . As an application we prove a rigiditiy property of lattices.

     

Special-valued subgroups of lattice-ordered groups

We prove that the intersection of all maximal special-valued subgroups of a lattice-ordered group is the special-valued quasi-torsion radical of a lattice-ordered group , which extends our earlier result that the intersection of all maximal finite-valued subgroups of a lattice-ordered group is the finite-valued torsion radical of . We also show that the class of almost finite-valued lattice-ordered groups is a quasi-torsion class, and the quasi-torsion radical of a group is equal to the intersection of the group with the lateral completion of the finite-valued torsion radical of the group.

Two Criteria for Nonsimplicity of a Group Possessing a Strongly Embedded Subgroup and a Finite Involution

A proper subgroup H of a group G is said to be strongly embedded if 2 (H) and 2(HH ^g) (for all ). An involution i of G is said to be finite if (for all g G). As is known, the structure of a (locally) finite group possessing a strongly embedded subgroup is determined by the theorems of Burnside and Brauer--Suzuki, provided that the Sylow 2-subgroup contains a unique involution. In this paper, sufficient conditions for the equality m ₂(G)= 1 are established, and two analogs of the Burnside and Brauer—Suzuki theorems for infinite groups G possessing a strongly embedded subgroup and a finite involution are given.

有限群极大子群的θ-子群偶

N.P.Mukherjee和 P.Bhattacharya在“On theta pairs for a maximal sub-group”(Proc.Amer.Math.Soc,Vl09N3(1990))一文中定义了有限群的极大子群的θ-子群偶概念,研究了极大子群的极大θ-子群偶对群结构的影响,得到了一系列结果.本文在进一步探究θ-子群偶性质的基础上,对该文中一系列主要结果作出了本质性的改进,并给出了可解性、幂零性的一些新刻划.
