Nilpotent Maximal Subgroup

Let D be a division ring and N be a subnormal subgroup of D*. In this paper we prove that if M is a nilpotent maximal subgroup of N, then M′ is abelian. If, furthermore every element of M is algebraic over Z(D) and M′ ⊈ F* or M/Z(M) or M′ is finitely generated, then M is abelian. The second main result of this paper concerns the subgroups of matrix groups; assume D is a noncommutative division ring, n is a natural number, N is a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D), and M is a maximal subgroup of N. We show that if M is locally finite over Z(D)*, then M is either absolutely irreducible or abelian.

Free Subgroups

The study of the existence of free groups in skew linear groups have begun since the last decades of the 20th century. The starting point is the theorem of Tits (1972), now often referred to as Tits’ Alternative, stating that every finitely generated subgroup of the general linear group [Formula: see text] over a field [Formula: see text] either contains a non-cyclic free subgroup or it is solvable-by-finite. In this paper, we study the existence of non-cyclic free subgroups in maximal subgroups of an almost subnormal subgroup of the general skew linear group over a locally finite division ring.

Soluble Subgroup

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.

A Finite Group

AbstractLet G be a finitely generated group. We investigate the graph ΓM(G), whose vertices are the maximal subgroups of G and where two vertices M1 and M2 are joined by an edge whenever M1∩M2≠1. We show that if G is a finite simple group then the graph ΓM(G) is connected and its diameter is 62 at most. We also show that if G is a finite group, then ΓM(G) either is connected or has at least two vertices and no edges. Finite groups G with a nonconnected graph ΓM(G) are classified. They are all solvable groups, and if G is a finite solvable group with a connected graph ΓM(G), then the diameter of ΓM(G) is at most 2. In the infinite case, we determine the structure of finitely generated infinite nonsimple groups G with a nonconnected graph ΓM(G). In particular, we show that if G is a finitely generated locally graded group with a nonconnected graph ΓM(G), then G must be finite.

Abstract We show that given a finitely generated LERF group G with positive rank gradient, and finitely generated subgroups A, B ≤ G of infinite index, one can find a finite index subgroup B0 of B such that [G : 〈A ∪ B0〉] = ∞. This generalizes a theorem of Olshanskii on free groups. We conclude that a finite product of finitely generated subgroups of infinite index does not cover G. We construct a transitive virtually faithful action of G such that the orbits of finitely generated subgroups of infinite index are finite. Some of the results extend to profinite groups with positive rank gradient.

A subgroup Q of a group G is called quasinormal in G if Q permutes with every subgroup of G. Of course a quasinormal subgroup Q of a group G may be very far from normal. In fact, examples of Iwasawa show (for a convenient reference see [8]) that we may have Q core-free and the normal closure QG of Q in G equal to G so that Q is not even subnormal in G. We note also that the core of Q in G, QG, is of infinite index in QG in this example. If G is finitely generated then any quasinormal subgroup Q is subnormal in G [8] and although Q is not necessarily normal in G we have that |QG:Q| is finite and |QG:Q| is a nilpotent group of finite exponent [5].
