Special Case

AbstractThe semidirect product of a finitely generated group dual with the symmetric group can be described through so-called group-theoretical categories of partitions (covers only a special case; due to Raum–Weber, 2015) and skew categories of partitions (more general; due to Maaßen, 2018). We generalize these results to the case of graph categories, which allows to replace the symmetric group by the group of automorphisms of some graph.

In [1], Bachmuth and Mochizuki conjecture, by analogy with a celebrated result of Tits on linear groups [8], that a finitely generated group of automorphisms of a finitely generated soluble group either contains a soluble subgroup of finite index (which may of course be taken to be normal) or contains a non-abelian free subgroup. They point out that their conjecture holds for nilpotent-by-abelian groups and in some other cases.

Finitely Generated Group

We generalize a result of Hochman in two simultaneous directions: instead of realizing an arbitrary effectively closed $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ action as a factor of a subaction of a $\mathbb{Z}^{d+2}$-SFT we realize an action of a finitely generated group analogously in any semidirect product of the group with $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$. Let $H$ be a finitely generated group and $G=\mathbb{Z}^{2}\rtimes _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}}H$ a semidirect product. We show that for any effectively closed $H$-dynamical system $(Y,T)$ where $Y\subset \{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$, there exists a $G$-subshift of finite type $(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$ such that the $H$-subaction of $(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$ is an extension of $(Y,T)$. In the case where $T$ is an expansive action, a subshift conjugated to $(Y,T)$ can be obtained as the $H$-projective subdynamics of a sofic $G$-subshift. As a corollary, we obtain that $G$ admits a non-empty strongly aperiodic subshift of finite type whenever the word problem of $H$ is decidable.

AbstractIn this paper, we generalize the finite generation result of Sormani to non-branching RCD(0, N) geodesic spaces (and in particular, Alexandrov spaces) with full supportmeasures. This is a special case of the Milnor’s Conjecture for complete non-compact RCD(0, N) spaces. One of the key tools we use is the Abresch–Gromoll type excess estimates for non-smooth spaces obtained by Gigli–Mosconi.

An associative ring R with identity is called a left (right) FPF ring if given any finitely generated faithful left (right) R-module A and any left (right) R-module M then M is the epimorphic image of a direct sum of copies of A. Faith and Page have asked if the subring of elements fixed by a finite group of automorphisms of an FPF ring need also be FPF. Here we present examples showing the answer to be negative in general.

Irreducible Variety

If G is a finitely generated group and A is an algebraic group, then RA(G) = Hom (G, A) is an algebraic variety. Define the "dimension sequence" of G over A as Pd(RA(G)) = (Nd(RA(G)), …, N0(RA(G))), where Ni(RA(G)) is the number of irreducible components of RA(G) of dimension i (0 ≤ i ≤ d) and d = Dim (RA(G)). We use this invariant in the study of groups and deduce various results. For instance, we prove the following: Theorem A.Let w be a nontrivial word in the commutator subgroup ofFn = 〈x1, …, xn〉, and letG = 〈x1, …, xn; w = 1〉. IfRSL(2, ℂ)(G)is an irreducible variety andV-1 = {ρ | ρ ∈ RSL(2, ℂ)(Fn), ρ(w) = -I} ≠ ∅, thenPd(RSL(2, ℂ)(G)) ≠ Pd(RPSL(2, ℂ)(G)). Theorem B.Let w be a nontrivial word in the free group on{x1, …, xn}with even exponent sum on each generator and exponent sum not equal to zero on at least one generator. SupposeG = 〈x1, …, xn; w = 1〉. IfRSL(2, ℂ)(G)is an irreducible variety, thenPd(RSL(2, ℂ)(G)) ≠ Pd(RPSL(2, ℂ)(G)). We also show that if G = 〈x1, . ., xn, y; W = yp〉, where p ≥ 1 and W is a word in Fn = 〈x1, …, xn〉, and A = PSL(2, ℂ), then Dim (RA(G)) = Max {3n, Dim (RA(G′)) +2 } ≤ 3n + 1 for G′ = 〈x1, …, xn; W = 1〉. Another one of our results is that if G is a torus knot group with presentation 〈x, y; xp = yt〉 then Pd(RSL(2, ℂ)(G))≠Pd(RPSL(2, ℂ)(G)).

We exhibit a 3-generator metabelian group which is not finitely related but has a trivial multiplicator.1. The purpose of this note is to establish the exitense of a finitely generated group which is not finitely related, but whose multiplecator is finitely generated. This settles negatively a question whichb has been open for a few years (it was first brought to my attention by Michel Kervaire and Joan Landman Dyer in 1964, but I believe it is somewhat older). The group is given in the follwing theorem.

Algorithmic Procedure

The growth of a finitely generated group is an important geometric invariant which has been studied for decades. It can be either polynomial, for a well-understood class of groups, or exponential, for most groups studied by geometers, or intermediate, that is between polynomial and exponential. Despite recent spectacular progresses, the class of groups with intermediate growth remains largely mysterious. Many examples of such groups are constructed using Mealy automata. The aim of this paper is to give an algorithmic procedure to study the growth of such automaton groups, and more precisely to provide numerical upper bounds on their exponents. Our functions retrieve known optimal bounds on the famous first Grigorchuk group. They also improve known upper bounds on other automaton groups and permitted us to discover several new examples of automaton groups of intermediate growth. All the algorithms described are implemented in GAP, a language dedicated to computational group theory.

Branching Rules

Below we work out the algebra structure of some Hopf algebras which arise concretely in restricting representations of the symmetric group to certain subgroups. The basic idea generalizes that used by Adams [1] for H*(BSU). The question arose in discussions with H. K. Farahat. I would like to thank him for his interest in the work and to acknowledge the usefulness of several stimulating conversations with him.1. Review and statement of results. A homogeneous element of a graded abelian group will have its gradation referred to as its dimension. In all such groups below there will be no non-zero elements with negative or odd dimension. A graded algebra (resp. coalgebra) will be associative (resp. coassociative), strictly commutative (resp. co-commutative) and in dimension zero will be isomorphic to the ground ring F, providing the unit (resp. counit). We shall deal amost entirely with F = Z or F = Z/p for a prime p; the cases F = 0 or a localization of Z will occur briefly. In every case, the component in each dimension will be a finitely generated free F-module, so dualization works simply.

Descending Chain Condition

AbstractLet K be a compact metrizable group and Γ be a finitely generated group of commuting automorphisms of K. We show that ergodicity of Γ implies Γ contains ergodic automorphisms if center of the action, Z(Γ)={α∈Aut(K)∣α commutes with elements of Γ} has descending chain condition. To explain that the condition on the center of the action is not restrictive, we discuss certain abelian groups which, in particular, provide new proofs to the theorems of Berend [Ergodic semigroups of epimorphisms. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.289(1) (1985), 393–407] and Schmidt [Automorphisms of compact abelian groups and affine varieties. Proc. London Math. Soc. (3) 61 (1990), 480–496].
