Fractional Group

For each finite group G, let G denote the set of all normal subgroups of the modular group Γ = PSL2(ℤ) with quotient group isomorphic to G; since Γ is finitely generated, the number NG = |G| of such subgroups is finite. We shall be mainly concerned with the case where G is the linear fractional group PSL2(q) over the Galois field GF(q), in which case we shall write (q) and N(q) for G and NG; for q>3, PSL2(q) is simple, so the elements of (q) will be maximal normal subgroups of Γ.

Residually Finite Groups

We show that the first L2-betti number of a finitely generated residually finite group can be estimated from below by using ordinary first betti numbers of finite index normal subgroups. As an application, we construct a finitely generated infinite residually finite torsion group with positive first L2-betti number.

Free Pair

Let K be a field and G a finite group with subgroup H. We say that (G H) is a K-free pair if whenever M is a finitely generated KG-module whose restriction MH is a free KH-module, then M is a free KG-module. In this paper pairs of groups with this property will be investigated.

Inner Automorphism

AbstractWe consider the abelianizations of some normal subgroups of the automorphism group of a finitely generated free group. Let Fn be a free group of rank n. For d ≥ 2, we consider a group consisting the automorphisms of Fn which act trivially on the first homology group of Fn with ${\mathbf Z}$/d${\mathbf Z}$-coefficients. We call it the congruence IA-automorphism group of level d and denote it by IAn,d. Let IOn,d be the quotient group of the congruence IA-automorphism group of level d by the inner automorphism group of a free group. We determine the abelianization of IAn,d and IOn,d for n ≥ 2 and d ≥ 2. Furthermore, for n=2 and odd prime p, we compute the integral homology groups of IA2,p for any dimension.

Direct Decompositions

AbstractLet G/G' be finitely generated and let G = B1 x A1 = B2 x A2 = … = Bi x Ai = … with each Bi isomorphic to a fixed group B which obeys the maximal condition for normal subgroups. Then the Ai represent only finitely many isomorphism classes. We give an example with B infinite cyclic, G/G' free abelian of infinite (countable) rank and such that G is decomposed as above with no two Ai isomorphic.

Polycyclic Groups

In an earlier paper (5) we showed that a finitely generated nilpotent group which is not abelian-by-finite has a primitive irreducible representation of infinite dimension over any non-absolute field. Here we are concerned primarily with the converse question: Suppose that G is a polycyclic-by-finite group with such a representation, then what can be said about G?

A Finite Group

Let G be a finite group, p the smallest prime dividing the order of G, and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G with the smallest generator number d. Consider a set [Formula: see text] of maximal subgroups of P such that [Formula: see text]. It is shown that if every member [Formula: see text] of is either S-quasinormally embedded or C-normal in G, then G is p-nilpotent. As its applications, some further results are obtained.

A Finite Group

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.

Indicable Group

For a group [Formula: see text] and a set [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the monoid of all cellular automata over [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be its group of units. By establishing a characterization of surjunctive groups in terms of the monoid [Formula: see text], we prove that the rank of [Formula: see text] (i.e. the smallest cardinality of a generating set) is equal to the rank of [Formula: see text] plus the relative rank of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], and that the latter is infinite when [Formula: see text] has an infinite decreasing chain of normal subgroups of finite index, condition which is satisfied, for example, for any infinite residually finite group. Moreover, when [Formula: see text] is a vector space over a field [Formula: see text], we study the monoid [Formula: see text] of all linear cellular automata over [Formula: see text] and its group of units [Formula: see text]. We show that if [Formula: see text] is an indicable group and [Formula: see text] is finite-dimensional, then [Formula: see text] is not finitely generated; however, for any finitely generated indicable group [Formula: see text], the group [Formula: see text] is finitely generated if and only if [Formula: see text] is finite.
