Subnormalizer of net subgroups in the general linear group over a ring

Let be a commutative ring in which the elements of the form ²–1, * generate the unit ideal and assume that a is any D-net of ideals of of order n. It is shown that the normalizerN() of the net subgroup G() (RZhMat, 1977, 2A280) coincides with its subnormalizer in GL(n, ). For noncommutative the corresponding result is obtained under the assumptions: 1) in the elements of the form — 1, where runs through all invertible elements of the center of , generate the unit ideal, and 2) the subgroup G() contains the group of block diagonal matrices with blocks of order 2.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Normal net subgroups of the full linear group

We prove that for n 3 a net subgroup of the full linear group G=GL(n, ) over an arbitrary associative ring with unity (see [1]) is normal in G if and only if it is a principal congruence subgroup. We also study the case n=2, where the situation is, in general, more complicated.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im. V. A.

On a maximal torus in subgroups of a general linear group

Let k be a field, K/k a finite extension of it of degree n. We denote G=Aut(kK), G_o=Aut(k K) and fix in K a basis ω₁,...,ω_n over k. In this basis, to any automorphism group of kK there corresponds a matrix group, which is denoted by the same symbol. Let G′≤G., In this paper, the conditions under which G′⊎G_o is a maximal torus in G′ are studied. The calculation of N_G′(G′⊎G_o) is carried out, provided that thee conditions are fulfilled. The case G′=SL (kK) is of particular interset. It is known that for Galois extensions and for extensions of algebraic number fields, G′⊎G_o is a maximal torus in G′. Bibligraphy: 2 titles.

Conjugacy of net subgroups of linear groups

For the full linear group over a matrix-local ring whose quotient by the Jacobson radical is not the field of two elements, we settle the question of the conjugacy ofD -net subgroups (Ref. Zh. Mat., 1977, 2A280). TwoD -net subgroups are conjugate if and only if theD -nets defining them are similar (i.e., can be transformed into each other by a permutation matrix). An analogous result is obtained forD -net subgroups of the symplectic group over a commutative local ring whose residue field contains more than three elements.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On subgroups of the general linear group that contain a maximal nonsplit torus

The paper deals with the structure of intermediate subgroups of the general linear group GL(n, k) of degree n over a field k of odd characteristic that contain a nonsplit maximal torus related to a radical extension of degree n of the ground field k. The structure of ideal nets over a ring that determine the structure of intermediate subgroups containinga transvection is given. Let K = k( ⁿ?{d} ) K = k\left( {\sqrt[n]{d}} \right) be a radical degree-n extension of a field k of odd characteristic, and let T =(d) be a nonsplit maximal torus, which is the image of the multiplicative group of the field K under the regular embedding in G =GL(n, k). In the paper, the structure of intermediate subgroups H, T ≤ H ≤ G, that contain a transvection is studied. The elements of the matrices in the torus T = T (d) generate a subring R(d) in the field k.Let R be an intermediate subring, R(d) ⊆ R ⊆ k, d ∈ R. Let σ_R denote the net in which the ideal dR stands on the principal diagonal and above it and all entries of which beneath the principal diagonal are equal to R. Let σ^R denote the net in which all positions on the principal diagonal and beneath it are occupied by R and all entries above the principal diagonal are equal to dR. Let E(σ_R) be the subgroup generated by all transvections from the net group G(σ_R). In the paper it is proved that the product TE(σ_R) is a group (and thus an intermediate subgroup). If the net σ associated with an intermediate subgroup H coincides with σ_R,then TE(σ_R) ≤ H ≤ N(σ_R),where N(σ_R) is the normalizer of the elementary net group E(σ_R) in G. For the normalizer N(σ_R),the formula N(σ_R)= TG(σ^R) holds. In particular, this result enables one to describe the maximal intermediate subgroups. Bibliography: 13 titles.     

Some subgroups of the full linear group

Further observations are made on the author's earlier paper (Ref. Zh. Mat., 1977, 5A284) dealing with the lattice H of all subgroups of the full linear group GL(n, K) over a field K that contain the group K of diagonal matrices. It is noted, for example, that for an infinite field K all subgroups inD(n, K) are algebraic; a subgroup in H is connected if and only if it is a net subgroup; the lattice of all connected subgroups in H is isomorphic to the lattice of all marked topologies onn points; any subgroup H in H is a semidirect product H=A·H_o of a maximal connected normal subgroup H_o of H and a finite group A of, permutation matrices.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On subnormal subgroups in general skew linear groups

Given a division ring D, we study subnormal subgroups of GL _n (D) for n ≥ 1. We determine different conditions under which such subgroups are central. In particular, in the case n = 1, our results can be considered as generalizations of some previous commutativity theorems for division rings.
