Parabolic subgroups in FC-type Artin groups

Parabolic subgroups are the building blocks of Artin groups. This paper extends previous results of Cumplido, Gebhardt, Gonzales-Meneses and Wiest, known only for parabolic subgroups of finite type Artin groups, to parabolic subgroups of FC-type Artin groups. We show that the class of finite type parabolic subgroups is closed under intersection. We also study an analog of the curve complex for mapping class group constructed by Cumplido et al. using parabolic subgroups. We extend the construction of this complex, called the complex of parabolic subgroups, to FC-type Artin groups. We show that this simplicial complex is, in most cases, infinite diameter and conjecture that it is δ-hyperbolic.     

A note on parabolic subgroups of a Coxeter group

The aim of this note is to prove that the parabolic closure of any subset of a Coxeter group is a parabolic subgroup. To obtain that, several technical lemmas on the root system of a parabolic subgroup are established.     

Representations of Parabolic and Borel Subgroups

We demonstrate a relationships between the representation theory of Borel subgroups and parabolic subgroups of general linear groups. In particular, we show that the representations of Borel subgroups could be computed from representations of certain maximal parabolic subgroups.     

On Growth Types of Quotients of Coxeter Groups by Parabolic Subgroups

The principal objects studied in this note are infinite, non-affine Coxeter groups W. A well-known result of de la Harpe asserts that such groups have exponential growth. We study the growth type of quotients of W by parabolic subgroups and by a certain class of reflection subgroups. Our main result is that these quotients have exponential growth as well.     

On generalized m-S-permutable subgroups of a finite group

In this paper, we give some new conditions under which a normal subgroup E of a finite group G is hypercyclically embedded in G, that is, every chief factor of G below E is cyclic.     

Richardson Elements for Parabolic Subgroups of Classical Groups in Positive Characteristic

Let G be a simple algebraic group of classical type over an algebraically closed field k. Let P be a parabolic subgroup of G and let be the Lie algebra of P with Levi decomposition , where is the Lie algebra of the unipotent radical of P and ł is a Levi complement. Thanks to a fundamental theorem of Richardson (Bull. London Math. Soc. 6:21–24, 1974), P acts on with an open dense orbit; this orbit is called the Richardson orbit and its elements are called Richardson elements. Recently Baur (J. Algebra 297(1):168–185, 2006), the first author gave constructions of Richardson elements in the case for many parabolic subgroups P of G. In this note, we observe that these constructions remain valid for any algebraically closed field k of characteristic not equal to 2 and we give constructions of Richardson elements for the remaining parabolic subgroups. Presented by Peter Littelmann.     

On the some normal subgroups of the extended modular group

In this paper, we give the group structures and the signatures of some normal subgroups of the extended modular group Π containing the principal congruence subgroup Γ(12).     

The average number of Sylow subgroups of a finite group

We prove that if the average Sylow number (ignoring the Sylow numbers that are one) of a finite group G is ?7, then G is solvable.

Automorphism groups of linear spaces and their parabolic subgroups

Suppose that an almost simple group G acts line transitively on a finite linear space S. Let Gx be a point stabilizer in G and suppose that G has socle T, a simple group of Lie type. In this paper we show that if T∩Gx is a parabolic subgroup of T, then G is flag transitive on S.     

The influence of minimal subgroups on the structure of a finite group

We study the detailed structure of a finite group under the assumption that all minimal subgroups of the generalized Fitting subgroup of some normal subgroup of are well-suited in .

     

Semipermutable subgroups and s-semipermutable subgroups in finite groups

Suppose that H is a subgroup of a finite group G. We call H is semipermutable in G if HK = KH for any subgroup K of G such that (|H|, |K|) = 1; H is s-semipermutable in G if HG_p = G_pH, for any Sylow p-subgroup G_p of G such that (|H|, p) = 1. These two concepts have been received the attention of many scholars in group theory since they were introduced by Professor Zhongmu Chen in 1987. In recent decades, there are a lot of papers published via the application of these concepts. Here we summarize the results in this area and gives some thoughts in the research process.     

Free subgroups in maximal subgroups of GLn(D)

Let D be a noncommutative finite dimensional F-central division algebra and M a noncommutative maximal subgroup of GL_n(D). It is shown that either M contains a noncyclic free subgroup or M is absolutely irreducible and there exists a unique maximal subfield K of M_n(D) such that K*M, K∕F is Galois with Gal(K∕F)?M∕K* and Gal(K∕F) is a finite simple group.     

On maximal subgroups of the multiplicative group of a division algebra

The question of existence of a maximal subgroup in the multiplicative group D^* of a division algebra D finite-dimensional over its center F is investigated. We prove that if D^* has no maximal subgroup, then deg(D) is not a power of 2, F^*2 is divisible, and for each odd prime p dividing deg(D), there exist noncyclic division algebras of degree p over F.     

Solitary subgroups of Abelian groups

Since solitary subgroups of (infinite) Abelian groups are precisely the strictly invariant subgroups which are co-Hopfian (as groups), and strictly invariant subgroups turn out to be strongly invariant for large classes of Abelian groups we determine the solitary subgroups for these classes of groups.     

X-quasinormal subgroups

Considering two subgroups A and B of a group G and ? ≠ X ? G, we say that A is X-permutable with B if AB ^x = B ^x A for some element x ∈ X. We use this concept to give new characterizations of the classes of solvable, supersolvable, and nilpotent finite groups.     

S-semiembedded subgroups of finite groups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to be s-semipermutable in G if it is permutable with every Sylow p-subgroup of G with (p, |H|) = 1. We say that a subgroup H of a finite group G is S-semiembedded in G if there exists an s-permutable subgroup T of G such that TH is s-permutable in G and T∩H≤Hs¯G, where Hs¯G is an s-semipermutable subgroup of G contained in H. In this paper, we investigate the influence of S-semiembedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups.
