Let G denote a relatively free group of a finite or countably infinite rank with a fixed set of free generators x1,x2,…,G′ the commutator subgroup, and V a verbal subgroup belonging to G′. Following H. Neumann [6] we shall use the vector representation for endomorphisms of G. Vector v = (ν1, ν2,…) represents an endomorphism v such that xiv = νi for all i. The identity map is represented by l=(x1,x2…). We need also thetrivial endomorphism 0 = (e, e,…). The length of vectors is equal to the rank of G. We shall consider the near-ring of vectors, with addition and multiplication given below u + v=(ulν1, u2ν2,…) where uiνi; is a product in G, and uv = (u1v, u2v,…) where uiv isthe image of ui, under the endomorphism v. There is only one distributivity law (u + v)w =uw + vw.

AbstractLet K be an arbitrary field of characteristic 2, F a free group of countably infinite rank. We construct a finitely generated fully invariant subgroup U in F such that the relatively free group F/U satisfies the maximal condition on fully invariant subgroups but the group algebra K (F/U) does not satisfy the maximal condition on fully invariant ideals. This solves a problem posed by Plotkin and Vovsi. Using the developed techniques we also construct the first example of a non-finitely based (nilpotent of class 2)-by-(nilpotent of class 2) variety whose Abelian-by-(nilpotent of class at most 2) groups form a hereditarily finitely based subvariety.

Countably Infinite

Suppose F is an additively written free group of countably infinite rank with basis T and let E = End(F). If we add endomorphisms pointwise on T and multiply them by map composition, E becomes a near-ring. In her paper “On Varieties of Groups and their Associated Near Rings” Hanna Neumann studied the sub-near-ring of E consisting of the endomorphisms of F of finite support, that is, those endomorphisms taking almost all of the elements of T to zero. She called this near-ring Φω. Now it happens that the ideals of Φω are in one to one correspondence with varieties of groups. Moreover this correspondence is a monoid isomorphism where the ideals of φω are multiplied pointwise. The aim of Neumann's paper was to use this isomorphism to show that any variety can be written uniquely as a finite product of primes, and it was in this near-ring theoretic context that this problem was first raised. She succeeded in showing that the left cancellation law holds for varieties (namely, U(V) = U′(V) implies U = U′) and that any variety can be written as a finite product of primes. The other cancellation law proved intractable. Later, unique prime factorization of varieties was proved by Neumann, Neumann and Neumann, in (7). A concise proof using these same wreath product techniques was also given in H. Neumann's book (6). These proofs, however, bear no relation to the original near-ring theoretic statement of the problem.

The skeleton of a variety of groups is defined to be the intersection of the section closed classes of groups which generate . If m is an integer, m > 1, is the variety of all abelian groups of exponent dividing m, and , is any locally finite variety, it is shown that the skeleton of the product variety is the section closure of the class of finite monolithic groups in . In particular, S) generates . The elements of S are described more explicitly and as a consequence it is shown that S consists of all finite groups in if and only if m is a power of some prime p and the centre of the countably infinite relatively free group of , is a p–group.

Any variety of groups is generated by its free group of countably infinite rank. A problem that appears in various forms in Hanna Neumann's book [7] (see, for intance, sections 2.4, 2.5, 3.5, 3.6) is that of determining if a given variety B can be generated by Fk(B), one of its free groups of finite rank; and if so, if Fn(B) is residually a k-generator group for all n ≧ k. (Here, as in the sequel, all unexplained notation follows [7].)

Let Fn be a free group of finite rank n with basis {x1,…, xn}. Let be a variety of groups and write for the verbal subgroup of Fn corresponding to . (See [11] for information on varieties and related concepts.) Every automorphism of Fn induces an automorphism of the relatively free group Fn/V, and those automorphisms of Fn/V arising in this way are called tame. If is the variety of all metabelian groups and n ╪ 3 then every automorphism of Fn/V is tame [2, 4, 12]. But this is an exceptional situation. For many (and probably most) other varieties , Fn/V has non-tame automorphisms for all sufficiently large n. This holds for the variety of all nilpotent groups of class at most c where c ≥ 3 [1, 3] and for nearly all product varieties including, in particular, the variety of all groups whose derived groups are nilpotent of class at most c, where c > 2 [10, 13].

This paper has as its chief aim the establishment of two formulae associated with subgroups of finite index in free groups. The first of these (Theorem 3.1) gives an expression for the total length of the free generators of a subgroup U of the free group Fr with r generators. The second (Theorem 5.2) gives a recursion formula for calculating the number of distinct subgroups of index n in Fr.Of some independent interest are two theorems used which do not involve any finiteness conditions. These are concerned with ways of determining a subgroup U of F.

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)).

Identical Transformation

AbstractThe paper proves that the group of infinite bounded Nielsen transformations is generated by elementary simultaneous Nielsen transformations modulo the subgroup of those transformations which are equivalent to the identical transformation while acting in a free abelian group. This can be formulated somewhat differently: the group of bounded automorphisms of a free abelian group of countably infinite rank is generated by the elementary simultaneous automorphisms. This proves D. Solitar's conjecture for the abelian case.
