The Hopfian property of n-periodic products of groups

LetH be a subgroup of a groupG. A normal subgroupN _H ofH is said to be inheritably normal if there is a normal subgroup N _G of G such that N _H = N _G ∩ H. It is proved in the paper that a subgroup $N_{G_i }$ of a factor G _i of the n-periodic product Π _i∈I ⁿ G _i with nontrivial factors G _i is an inheritably normal subgroup if and only if $N_{G_i }$ contains the subgroup G _i ⁿ . It is also proved that for odd n ≥ 665 every nontrivial normal subgroup in a given n-periodic product G = Π _i∈I ⁿ G _i contains the subgroup G ⁿ . It follows that almost all n-periodic products G = G _{1 *} ⁿ G ₂ are Hopfian, i.e., they are not isomorphic to any of their proper quotient groups. This allows one to construct nonsimple and not residually finite Hopfian groups of bounded exponents.

The reconstruction problem for certain infinite graphs

We are concerned with the notion of the degree-type (D _G ⁱ )_i∈ω of a graphG, whereD _G ⁱ is defined to be the number of vertices inG with degreei. In the first section the following results are proven:

1. IfG is a connected, locally finite, countably infinite graph such that there exists ani so thatD _G ⁱ andD _G ⁱ⁺¹ are both finite and different from 0, thenG is reconstructible.
2. Locally finite, countably infinite graphsG, for which infinitely manyD _G ⁱ are different from 0 but only finitely manyD _G ⁱ are infinite, are reconstructible.

In the second section we give some results about the reconstructibility of certain locally finite countably infinite interval graphs and show that a reconstruction of a planar, infinite graph has to be planar too.

The formation of finite groups with a supersolvable π-hall subgroup

Let G be a finite group having a π-subgroup H such that |G: H| is not divisible by the numbers in π. In this case, the subgroup H is referred to as a π-Hall subgroup, and the group G by itself is referred to as a E _π -group. If, moreover, the group H is supersolvable, then G is referred to as an E _π ^u -group. It is proved in the paper that the class of all E _π ^u -groups is a solvably saturated formation, and the proof is carried out without using the classification of finite groups.     

Singular integrals along Lipschitz curves with holomorphic kernels

If γ(x)=x+iA(x),tan ^?1‖A′‖_∞<ω<π/2,S _ω ⁰ ={z∈C}| |argz|<ω, or, |arg(-z)|<ω} We have proved that if φ is a holomorphic function in S _ω ⁰ and \(\left| {\varphi (z)} \right| \leqslant \frac{C}{{\left| z \right|}}\) , denotingT f (z)= ∫?(z-ζ)f(ζ)dζ, ?f∈C ₀(γ), ?z∈suppf, where C_c(γ) denotes the class of continuous functions with compact supports, then the following two conditions are equivalent:

1. T can be extended to be a bounded operator on L²(γ);
2. there exists a function ?₁ ∈H ^∞(S _ω ⁰ ) such that ?′₁(z)=?(z)+?(-z), ?z∈S _ω ⁰ ?z∈S _w ⁰ .

     

On finite groups with exactly seven element centralizers

For a finite groupG, #Cent(G) denotes the number of centralizers of its elements. A groupG is calledn-centralizer if #Cent(G) =n, and primitive n-centralizer if $\# Cent(G) = \# Cent\left( {\frac{G}{{Z(G)}}} \right) = n$ . The first author in [1], characterized the primitive 6-centralizer finite groups. In this paper we continue this problem and characterize the primitive 7-centralizer finite groups. We prove that a finite groupG is primitive 7-centralizer if and only if $\frac{G}{{Z(G)}} \cong D_{10} $ orR, whereR is the semidirect product of a cyclic group of order 5 by a cyclic group of order 4 acting faithfully. Also, we compute#Cent(G) for some finite groups, using the structure ofG modulu its center.     

Diameters of Chevalley groups over local rings

Let G be a Chevalley group scheme of rank l. Let ${G_n := G(\mathbb{Z} / p^{n} \mathbb{Z})}$ be the family of finite groups for ${n \in \mathbb{N}}$ and some fixed prime number p >?p ₀. We prove a uniform poly-logarithmic diameter bound of the Cayley graphs of G _n with respect to arbitrary sets of generators. In other words, for any subset S which generates G _n , any element of G _n is a product of C n ^d elements from ${S \cup S^{-1}}$ . Our proof is elementary and effective, in the sense that the constant d and the functions p ₀(l) and C(l, p) are calculated explicitly. Moreover, we give an efficient algorithm for computing a short path between any two vertices in any Cayley graph of the groups G _n .     

On the cosets of the 2q-power group in the unit group modulop

Letp be a prime number ≡ 3 mod 4,G ^p the unit group of ?/p?, andg a generator ofG _p. Letq be an odd divisor ofp - 1 andG _p ^2q = {t ^2q;t ∈G _pthe subgroup of index2q inG _p. The groupG _p ² / _p ^2q consists of the classes \(\bar g^{2j} \) ,j = 0,...,q – 1. In this paper we study the ’excesses’ of the classes \(\bar g^{2j} \) in {l,...,(_p–l)/2}, i.e., the numbers \(\Phi _j = \left| {\left\{ {k;1 \leqslant k \leqslant \left( {p - 1} \right)/2,\bar k \in \bar g^{2j} } \right\}} \right| - \left| {\left\{ {k;\left( {p - 1} \right)/2 \leqslant k \leqslant p - 1,\bar k \in \bar g^{2j} } \right\}} \right|\) ,j = 0.....q — 1. First we express therelative class number h _2q of the subfieldK _2q? ?(e^2#x03C0;i/p ) of degree [K _2q: ?] =2q in terms of these excesses. We use this formula to establish certaincongruences for the Ф^j. E.g., ifq ∈ {3,5,11}, each number Фj is congruent modulo 4 to each other iff 2 dividesh _2q ^- . Finally we study thevariance of the excesses, i.e., the number \(\sigma ^2 = ((\Phi _0 - \hat \Phi )^2 + \ldots + (\Phi _{q - 1} - \hat \Phi )^2 )/(q - 1)\) , where \(\hat \Phi \) is the mean value of the numbers Ф_j. We obtain an explicit lower bound for σ² in terms ofh _2q ^- /h ₂ ^- . Moreover, we show that log σ² is asymptotically equal to 21og(h _2q ^- h ₂ ^- )/(q - 1) forp→∞. Three tables illustrate the results.     

Mehrfache gitterförmige Kreis- und Kugelanordnungen

LetG be a lattice inR ⁿ and letS ₁ ,S ₂ , ... be the family of unit spheres whose centres are the lattice-points ofG. This set is called ak-fold lattice packing (k-fold lattice covering) if each point ofR ⁿ lies in at most (at least)k of the open (closed) spheresS _i . Letd _k ⁿ be the density of the closestk-fold lattice packing and letD _k ⁿ be the density of the thinnestk-fold lattice covering ofR ⁿ . In the present paper we are considering the following problem: For which valuesn≧2 andk≧2 are the inequalitiesd _k ⁿ >kd ₁ ⁿ ,D _k ⁿ ₁ ⁿ valid?Theorem 1:For all pairs (n, k), n≧3, k≧2, with the exception of (3, k), (4, k), k=3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and (5, 3) we prove d _k ⁿ >kd ₁ ⁿ .Theorem 2:For each k≧3 is D _k ² ₁ ² . The proofs make use of the works ofBlundon, Danzer, Few andHeppes.     

The error term in Nevanlinna’s inequality

An upper bound is given for the error termS(r, |a _j |,f) in Nevanlinna’s inequality. For given positive increasing functions p and $ with ∫ ₁ ^∞ dr/p(r) = ∫ ₁ ^∞ dr/r ?(r) = ∞, setP(r) = ∫ ₁ ^r dt/p,Ψ(r) = ∫ ₁ ^r dt/t ?(t) We prove that $$S(r, \left\{ {a_j } \right\}, f) \leqslant \log \frac{{T(r, f)\phi (T(r, f))}}{{p(r)}} + O(1)$$ holds, with a small exceptional set of r, for any finite set of points |a _j | in the extended plane and any meromorphic function f such thatΨ(T(r, f)) =O(P(r)). This improves the known results of A. Hinkkanen and Y. F. Wang. The sharpness of the estimate is also considered.

Sylow-metacyclic groups andQ-admissibility

A finite groupG isQ-admissible if there exists a division algebra finite dimensional and central overQ which is a crossed product forG. AQ-admissible group is necessarily Sylow-metacyclic (all its Sylow subgroups are metacyclic). By means of an investigation into the structure of Sylow-metacyclic groups, the inverse problem (is every Sylow-metacyclic groupQ-admissible?) is essentially reduced to groups of order 2 ^a 3 ^b and to a list of known “almost simple” groups.     

Discretization and best approximation in Besov spaces

In this paper we prove a theorem about existence of best approximation in a class of spaces involving Besov spaces, via a discretization technique. It is a consequence of this theorem that rational functions and exponencial sums are proximinal subsets of B _∞,q ^a (π). It is also proved the proximinality of R _m ⁿ [a, b] in B _p,q ^a (π) for arbitrary p,q and a.

As applications, the perturbation theory for the generalized inverseA _T,S ⁽²⁾ and the perturbation bound for unique solution of the general restricted systemAx=b (dim (AT)=dimT,b∈AT andx∈T) are studied. Moreover, a characterization and representation of the generalized inverseA _{T, *} ^Emphasis>(2) is obtained.     

Interpolation in certain Hilbert spaces of analytic functions

In this article we study, for a Hilbert spaceB of analytic functions in the open unit disk, the dependence of the structure of the space of sequencesB(Z)={{f(z_k)} _k=1 ^∞ :f∈B} on the choice of the sequence Z={z_k} _k=1 ^∞ of distinct points of the unit disk [6].     

ON possible Turán densities

The Turán density π(F) of a family F of k-graphs is the limit as n → ∞ of the maximum edge density of an F-free k-graph on n vertices. Let Π _∞ ^(k) consist of all possible Turán densities and let Π _fin ^(k) ? Π _∞ ^(k) be the set of Turán densities of finite k-graph families. Here we prove that Π _fin ^(k) contains every density obtained from an arbitrary finite construction by optimally blowing it up and using recursion inside the specified set of parts. As an application, we show that Π _fin ^(k) contains an irrational number for each k ≥ 3. Also, we show that Π _∞ ^(k) has cardinality of the continuum. In particular, Π _∞ ^(k) ≠ Π _fin ^(k) .     

Centralizers of coprime automorphisms of finite groups

Let A be an elementary abelian group of order p ^k with k ≥ 3 acting on a finite p′-group G. The following results are proved. If γ _k-2(C _G (a)) is nilpotent of class at most c for any ${a \in A^{\#}}$ , then γ _k-2(G) is nilpotent and has {c, k, p}-bounded nilpotency class. If, for some integer d such that 2 ^d  + 2 ≤ k, the dth derived group of C _G (a) is nilpotent of class at most c for any ${a \in A^{\#}}$ , then the dth derived group G ^(d) is nilpotent and has {c, k, p}-bounded nilpotency class.     

On the conjugacy of nilpotent injectors in finite groups

If a finite group G is ${\mathcal{N}}$ -constrained, then the nilpotent injectors of G form a single conjugacy class of subgroups. In this paper we shall generalize this result. This paper is part of a larger program investigating a special type of nilpotent injectors in arbitrary finite groups.     

Ubiquity of simplices in subsets of vector spaces over finite fields

We prove that a sufficiently large subset of the d-dimensional vector space over a finite field with q elements, $ \mathbb{F} $ _q ^d , contains a copy of every k-simplex. Fourier analytic methods, Kloosterman sums, and bootstrapping play an important role.
