On the p—Local Rank of Finite Groups

In this paper,we shall mainly study the p-solvable finite group in terms of p-local rank,and a group theoretic characterization will be given of finite p-solvabel groups with p-local rank two.Theorem A Let G be a finite p-solvable group with p-local rank plr(G)=2 and Op(G)=1.If P is a Sylow p-subgrounp of G,then P has a normal subgroup Q such that P/Q is cyclic or a generalized quaternion 2-group and the p-rank of Q is at most two.Theorem B Let G be a finite p-solvable group with Op(G)=1.Then the p-length lp(G)≤plr(G);if in addition plr(G)=lp (G) and p≥5 is odd,then plr(G)=0 or 1.     

The Selmer Groups of Elliptic Curves

Let E/K be an elliptic curve with K-rational p-torsion points.The p-Selmer group of E is described by the image of a map λk and hence an upper bound of its order is given in terms of the class numbers of the S-ideal class group of K and the p-division field of E.

Assembly maps,K-theory, and hyperbolic groups

Following Connes and Moscovici, we show that the Baum-Connes assembly map forK _*(C*v) is rationally injective when is word-hyperbolic, implying the Equivariant Novikov conjecture for such groups. Using this result in topologicalK-theory and Borel-Karoubi regulators, we also show that the corresponding generalized assembly map in algebraicK-theory is rationally injective.     

A zero topological entropy map with recurrent points not

We show that there is a continuous map of the unit interval into itself of type which has a trajectory disjoint from the set of recurrent points of , but contained in the closure of . In particular, is not closed. A function of type , with nonclosed set of recurrent points, was found by H. Chu and J. Xiong [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 97 (1986), 361-366]. However, there is no trajectory contained in , since any point in is eventually mapped into . Moreover, our construction is simpler.

We use to show that there is a continuous map of the interval of type for which the set of recurrent points is not an set. This example disproves a conjecture of A. N. Sharkovsky et al., from 1989. We also provide another application of .

We show the existence of a rank function on finitely generated modules over group algebras , where is an arbitrary field and is a finitely generated amenable group. This extends a result of W. Lück (1998).

     

Efficiency of connected binary block designs when a single observation is unavailable

In this paper the problem of finding the design efficiency is considered when a single observation is unavailable in a connected binary block design. The explicit expression of efficiency is found for the resulting design when the original design is a balanced incomplete block design or a group divisible, singular or semiregular or regular with ₁>0, design. The efficiency does not depend on the position of the unavailable observation. For a regular group divisible design with ₁>0, the efficiency depends on the position of the unavailable observation. The bounds, both lower and upper, on the efficiency are given in this situation. The efficiencies of designs resulting from a balanced incomplete block design and a group divisible design are in fact high when a single observation is unavailable.The work of the first author is sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under Grant AFOSR-90-0092.On leave from Indian Statistical Institute, Calcutta, India.

Induced local actions on taut and Stein manifolds

Let act by biholomorphisms on a taut manifold . We show that can be regarded as a -invariant domain in a complex manifold on which the universal complexification of acts. If is also Stein, an analogous result holds for actions of a larger class of real Lie groups containing, e.g., abelian and certain nilpotent ones. In this case the question of Steinness of is discussed.
