Some Properties of Bell Groups

For any integer n ≠ 0,1, a group G is said to be “n-Bell” if it satisfies the identity [x ⁿ ,y] = [x,y ⁿ ]. It is known that if G is an n-Bell group, then the factor group G/Z ₂(G) has finite exponent dividing 12n ⁵(n ? 1)⁵. In this article we show that this bound can be improved. Moreover, we prove that every n-Bell group is n-nilpotent; consequently, using results of Baer on finite n-nilpotent groups, we give the structure of locally finite n-Bell groups. Finally, we are concerned with locally graded n-Bell groups for special values of n.     

Characterization of 3-Rewritable Finite Nilpotent Groups

Let n be an integer greater than 1. A group G is said to be “ n-rewritable” whenever for every n elements x ₁,…,x _n of G, there exist distinct permutations τ, σ on the set {1,2,…, n} such that x _τ(1) ··· x _τ(n) = x _{σ (1)} ··· x _{σ (n)}. In this article, we complete the classification of 3-rewritable finite nilpotent groups and prove that a finite nilpotent group G is 3-rewritable if and only if G has an abelian subgroup of index 2 or the derived subgroup has order < 6.     

A decomposition theorem for G-groups

Some classical results about linear representations of a finite group G have been also proved for representations of G on non-abelian groups （G-groups）. In this paper we establish a decomposition theorem for irreducible G-groups which expresses a suitable irreducible G-group as a tensor product of two projective G-groups in a similar way to the celebrated theorem of Clifford for linear representations. Moreover, we study the non-abelian minimal normal subgroups of G in which this decomposition is possible.     

On Hypercentral Groups G With |G:G n |<∞

In 1960, Baumslag, following up on work of Cernikov for the 1940s, proved that a hypercentral p-group G with G = G ^p is a divisible Abelian group. In this article, we provide an interesting generalization of this 45 year old result: If a hypercentral p-group G satisfies |G:G ^p |<∞ (of course, it contains G = G ^p ), there exists a normal divisible Abelian subgroup D such that |G:D|<∞.     

3-Rewritable Nilpotent 2-Groups of Class 2#

ABSTRACT

Let n be an integer greater than 1. A group G is said to be n-rewritable (or a Q_n-group) if for every n elements x₁, x₂,…,x_n in G there exist distinct permutations σ and τ in S_n such that x_σ(1)x_{σ (2)} ??? x_σ(n) = x_τ(1)x_τ(2) ??? x_τ(n). In this paper, we characterize all 3-rewritable nilpotent 2-groups of class 2. Also we have found a bound for the nilpotency class of certain nilpotent 3-rewritable groups, and have shown that 3-rewritable groups satisfy a certain law.     

On linearity of finitely generated R-analytic groups

In this paper we prove that if R is a commutative Noetherian local pro-p domain of characteristic 0, then every finitely generated R-standard group is linear. This work has been partially supported by the FEDER, the MEC Grant MTM2004-04665 and the Ramón y Cajal Program.     

Bestvina's Normal Form Complex and the Homology of Garside Groups

A Garside group is a group admitting a finite lattice generating set . Using techniques developed by Bestvina for Artin groups of finite type, we construct K(π, 1)s for Garside groups. This construction shows that the (co)homology of any Garside group G is easily computed given the lattice , and there is a simple sufficient condition that implies G is a duality group. The universal covers of these K(π, 1)s enjoy Bestvina's weak nonpositive curvature condition. Under a certain tameness condition, this implies that every solvable subgroup of G is virtually Abelian.     

COMPLETENESS OF THE PARABOLIC SUBGROUPS OF PROJECTIVE ORTHOGONAL GROUPS

All parabolic subgroups and Borel subgroups of PΩ(2m 1, F) over a linear-able field F of characteristic 0 are shown to be complete groups, provided m > 3.

Random and Deterministic Triangle Generation of Three-Dimensional Classical Groups II

Let p ₁, p ₂, p ₃ be primes. This is the second article in a series of three on the (p ₁, p ₂, p ₃)-generation of the finite projective special unitary and linear groups PSU₃(p ⁿ ), PSL₃(p ⁿ ), where we say a noncyclic group is (p ₁, p ₂, p ₃)-generated if it is a homomorphic image of the triangle group T _{p 1, p 2, p 3} . This paper is concerned with the case where p ₁ = 2 and p ₂ = p ₃. We determine for any prime p ₂ the prime powers p ⁿ such that PSU₃(p ⁿ ) (respectively, PSL₃(p ⁿ )) is a quotient of T = T _{2, p 2, p 2} . We also derive the limit of the probability that a randomly chosen homomorphism in Hom(T, PSU₃(p ⁿ )) (respectively, Hom(T, PSL₃(p ⁿ ))) is surjective as p ⁿ tends to infinity.     

Random and Deterministic Triangle Generation of Three-Dimensional Classical Groups III

Let p₁, p₂, p₃ be primes. This is the final paper in a series of three on the (p₁, p₂, p₃)-generation of the finite projective special unitary and linear groups PSU ₃(pⁿ), PSL ₃(pⁿ), where we say a noncyclic group is (p₁, p₂, p₃)-generated if it is a homomorphic image of the triangle group T_{p1, p2, p3} . This article is concerned with the case where p₁ = 2 and p₂ ≠ p₃. We determine for any primes p₂ ≠ p₃ the prime powers pⁿ such that PSU ₃(pⁿ) (respectively, PSL ₃(pⁿ)) is a quotient of T = T_{2, p2, p3} . We also derive the limit of the probability that a randomly chosen homomorphism in Hom(T, PSU ₃(pⁿ)) (respectively, Hom(T, PSL ₃(pⁿ))) is surjective as pⁿ tends to infinity.     

Non-Hopfian Relatively Free Groups

On generalized fibonacci groups with an odd number of generators

The geometrical properties of cyclically presented groups of Fibonacci type F(r,m, k)and H(r,m,k)are discussed. It is shown that for even rand odd m some infinite family of generalized Fibonacci groups F(r, m, k)cannot be fundamental groups of hyperbolic 3-orbifolds of finite volume.     

Maximal covers of finite groups

Abstract

Let λ(G) be the maximum number of subgroups in an irredundant covering of the finite group G. We prove that if G is a group with λ(G) ≤ 6, then G is supersolvable. We also describe the structure of groups G with λ(G) = 6. Moreover, we show that if G is a group with λ(G)?<?31, then G is solvable.     

Subgroup Separability and Linearity of Certain Graphs of Groups
