Residually Finite Group

In this paper we shall indicate how to generalise the concept of a cofinite group (see [7]). We recall that any residually finite group can be made into a topological group by taking as a basis of neighbourhoods of the identity precisely the normal subgroups of finite index. The class of compact cofinite groups is then easily seen to be the class of profinite groups, where a group is profinite if and only if it is an inverse limit of finite groups. It turns out that every cofinite group can be embedded as a dense subgroup of a profinite group. This has important consequences for the class of countable locally finite-soluble groups with finite Sylow p-subgroups for all primes p, as shown in [7] and [14].

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.

AbstractLet $G$ be a periodic residually finite group containing a nilpotent subgroup $A$ such that $C_G(A)$ is finite. We show that if $\langle A,A^g\rangle$ is finite for any $g\in G$, then $G$ is locally finite.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 20F50

AbstractThe following theorem is proved. Let m, k and n be positive integers. There exists a number η=η(m,k,n) depending only on m, k and n such that if G is any residually finite group satisfying the condition that the product of any η commutators of the form [xm,y1,…,yk ] is of order dividing n, then the verbal subgroup of G corresponding to the word w=[xm,y1,…,yk ] is locally finite.

An inverse limit of finite groups has been called in the literature a pro-finite group and we have extensive studies of profinite groups from the cohomological point of view by J. P. Serre. The general theory of non-abelian modules has not yet been developed and therefore we consider a generalization of profinite abelian groups. We study inverse systems of discrete finite length R-modules. Profinite modules are inverse limits of discrete finite length R-modules with the inverse limit topology.

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.

Schunck Class

We introduce a definition of a Schunck class of periodic abelian-by-finite soluble groups using major subgroups in place of the maximal subgroups used in Finite groups. This allows us to develop the theory as in the finite case proving the existence and conjugacy of projectors. Saturated formations are examples of Schunck classes and we are also able to obtain an infinite version of Gaschütz Ω-subgroups.

AbstractIn a paper published in this journal [1], J. T. Buckely, J. C. Lennox, B. H. Neumann and the authors considered the class of CF-groups, that G such that |H: CoreG (H)| is finite for all subgroups H. It is shown that locally finite CF-groups are abelian-by-finite and BCF, that is, there is an integer n such that |H: CoreG(H)| ≤ n for all subgroups H. The present paper studies these properties in the class of locally graded groups, the main result being that locally graded BCF-groups are abelian-by-finite. Whether locally graded CF-groups are BFC remains an open question. In this direction, the following problems is posed. Does there exist a finitely generated infinite periodic residually finite group in which all subgroups are finite or of finite index? Such groups are locally graded and CF but not BCF.

Residually Finite Groups

The recent constructions, by Rips and Olshanskii, of infinite groups with all proper subgroups of prime order, and similar ‘monsters’, show that even under the imposition of apparently very strong finiteness conditions, the structure of infinite groups can be rather weird. Thus it seems reasonable to impose the type of condition that enables us to apply the theory of finite groups. Two such conditions are local finiteness and residual finiteness, and here we are interested in the latter. Specifically, we consider residually finite groups of finite rank, where a group is said to have rank r, if all finitely generated subgroups of it can be generated by r elements. Recall that a group is said to be virtually of some property, if it has a subgroup of finite index with this property. We prove the following result:Theorem 1. A residually finite group of finite rank is virtually locally soluble.
