Let $G$ be a totally disconnected, locally compact group. A closed subgroup of $G$ is locally normal if its normalizer is open in $G$. We begin an investigation of the structure of the family of closed locally normal subgroups of $G$. Modulo commensurability, this family forms a modular lattice ${\mathcal{L}}{\mathcal{N}}(G)$, called the structure lattice of $G$. We show that $G$ admits a canonical maximal quotient $H$ for which the quasicentre and the abelian locally normal subgroups are trivial. In this situation ${\mathcal{L}}{\mathcal{N}}(H)$ has a canonical subset called the centralizer lattice, forming a Boolean algebra whose elements correspond to centralizers of locally normal subgroups. If $H$ is second-countable and acts faithfully on its centralizer lattice, we show that the topology of $H$ is determined by its algebraic structure (and thus invariant by every abstract group automorphism), and also that the action on the Stone space of the centralizer lattice is universal for a class of actions on profinite spaces. Most of the material is developed in the more general framework of Hecke pairs.

Centralizer Lattice

We use the structure lattice, introduced in Part I, to undertake a systematic study of the class $\mathscr{S}$ consisting of compactly generated, topologically simple, totally disconnected locally compact groups that are nondiscrete. Given $G\in \mathscr{S}$, we show that compact open subgroups of $G$ involve finitely many isomorphism types of composition factors, and do not have any soluble normal subgroup other than the trivial one. By results of Part I, this implies that the centralizer lattice and local decomposition lattice of $G$ are Boolean algebras. We show that the $G$-action on the Stone space of those Boolean algebras is minimal, strongly proximal, and microsupported. Building upon those results, we obtain partial answers to the following key problems: Are all groups in $\mathscr{S}$ abstractly simple? Can a group in $\mathscr{S}$ be amenable? Can a group in $\mathscr{S}$ be such that the contraction groups of all of its elements are trivial?

AbstractIf G is a locally compact group such thatG/G0contains a uniform compactly generated nilpotent subgroup, thenGhas a maximal compact normal subgroupKsuch thatG/Gis a Lie group. A topological groupGis an N-group if, for each neighbourhoodUof the identity and each compact setC⊂G, there is a neighbourhoodVof the identity such thatfor eachg∈G. Several results on N-groups are obtained and it is shown that a related weaker condition is equivalent to local finiteness for certain totally disconnected groups.

It is shown that, if G is a totally disconnected, compactly generated and nilpotent locally compact group, then it has a base of neighbourhoods of the identity consisting of compact, open, normal subgroups. An example is given showing that the hypothesis that G be compactly generated is necessary.

Abstract For a locally compact group 𝐺, we write S ⁢ U ⁢ B ⁢ ( G ) {\mathcal{SUB}}(G) for the space of closed subgroups of 𝐺 endowed with the Chabauty topology. For any positive integer 𝑛, we associate to 𝐺 the function δ G , n \delta_{G,n} from G n G^{n} to S ⁢ U ⁢ B ⁢ ( G ) {\mathcal{SUB}}(G) defined by δ G , n ⁢ ( g 1 , … , g n ) = gp ¯ ⁢ ( g 1 , … , g n ) , \delta_{G,n}(g_{1},\ldots,g_{n})=\overline{\mathrm{gp}}(g_{1},\ldots,g_{n}), where gp ¯ ⁢ ( g 1 , … , g n ) \overline{\mathrm{gp}}(g_{1},\ldots,g_{n}) denotes the closed subgroup topologically generated by g 1 , … , g n g_{1},\ldots,g_{n} . It would be interesting to know for which groups 𝐺 the function δ G , n \delta_{G,n} is continuous for every 𝑛. Let [ HW ] [\mathtt{HW}] be the class of such groups. Some interesting properties of the class [ HW ] [\mathtt{HW}] are established. In particular, we prove that [ HW ] [\mathtt{HW}] is properly included in the class of totally disconnected locally compact groups. The class of totally disconnected locally compact locally pronilpotent groups is included in [ HW ] [\mathtt{HW}] . Also, we give an example of a solvable totally disconnected locally compact group not contained in [ HW ] [\mathtt{HW}] .

In this paper, some contributions are made to the theory of algebraic equations over the rational field with conditions imposed on the Galois group. In § 1, for a given abstract group G all faithful permutation representations Ḡ are obtained, and it is shown that if one of them is the group of some equation with splitting field K, then any of them is the group of some equation, also with splitting field K. The method of proof enables us to construct an equation having as group a given faithful permutation representation Ḡ of a prescribed group G if we are given an equation having as group some faithful representation of G. In § 2, equations having nilpotent group are considered, non-normal extension fields are discussed, and a canonical form is obtained for the roots of non-normal irreducible equations; this form is used to characterize fields and equations with nilpotent groups.

Suppose that H is a closed subgroup of a locally compact group G. We show that a unitary representation U of H is the restriction of a unitary representation of G if and only if a dual representation Û of a crossed product C*(G) ⋊ (G/H) is regular in an appropriate sense. We then discuss the problem of deciding whether a given representation is regular; we believe that this problem will prove to be an interesting test question in non-Abelian duality for crossed products of C*-algebras.

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group. A closed subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be spherical if it has a dense orbit on the flag variety $G/B$ of $G$. Reductive spherical subgroups of simple Lie groups were classified by Krämer in 1979. In 1997, Brundan showed that each example from Krämer’s list also gives rise to a spherical subgroup in the corresponding simple algebraic group in any positive characteristic. Nevertheless, up to now there has been no classification of all such instances in positive characteristic. The goal of this paper is to complete this classification. It turns out that there is only one additional instance (up to isogeny) in characteristic 2 which has no counterpart in Krämer’s classification. As one of our key tools, we prove a general deformation result for subgroup schemes that allows us to deduce the sphericality of subgroups in positive characteristic from the same property for subgroups in characteristic zero.

Generalized Exchange

The family unit and kinship structures form the basis of social relationships in indigenous societies. Families constitute a cultural group, a so-called clan, within which marriage is prohibited by the incest taboo. The clan attribution governs the mating preference and descent relationships by certain rules. Such rules form various kinship structures, including generalized exchange, an indirect exchange of brides among more than two clans, and restricted exchange, a direct exchange of brides with the flow of children to different clans. These structures are distributed in different areas and show different cultural consequences. However, it is still unknown how they emerge or what conditions determine different structures. Here, we build a model of communities consisting of lineages and family groups and introduce social cooperation among kin and mates and conflict over mating. Each lineage has parameters characterizing the trait and mate preference, which determines the possibility of marriage and the degree of cooperation and conflict among lineages. Lineages can cooperate with those having similar traits to their own or mates’, whereas lineages with similar preferences compete for brides. In addition, we introduce community-level selection by eliminating communities with smaller fitness and follow the so-called hierarchical Moran process. We numerically demonstrate that lineages are clustered in the space of traits and preferences, resulting in the emergence of clans with the incest taboo. Generalized exchange emerges when cooperation is strongly needed, whereas restricted exchange emerges when the mating conflict is strict. This may explain the geographical distribution of kinship structures in indigenous societies.
