The conditions (TI 1) and (TI 2) are stated for and henceforth in the paper H is understood to be when D is taken to be a T.I. subset of G. Also in the definition of T. I. subset the condition is that D ∩ DG≠ø where ø is the empty set.

Effective Use

This paper arose out of an effort to present a result which simplifies the application of the theory of blocks to what is often called the theory of exceptional characters. In order to obtain the most effective use of this result, it is necessary to reformulate part of this theory. Thus we present a development which explains an application of R. Brauer’s main theorem on generalized decomposition numbers. In particular, we improve a result of D. Gorenstein and the author [8; Proposition 25]. These results are needed in a forthcoming paper and will simplify somewhat the use of this theory in existing papers. We are interested principally in determining the values of certain irreducible characters on trivial intersection subsets. The organization of the theory presented here is influenced by an exposition of M. Suzuki [13] and uses concepts introduced by W. Feit and J. G. Thompson [7]. Also it is hoped that this exposition will serve as an introduction to the theory.

Compact Quantum Metric Space

AbstractLet be a length function on a group G, and let M denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by on l2(G). Following Connes, M𝕃 can be used as a “Dirac” operator for the reduced group C*-algebra (G). It deûnes a Lipschitz seminorm on (G), which defines a metric on the state space of (G). We show that for any length function satisfying a strong form of polynomial growth on a discrete group, the topology from this metric coincides with the weak-* topology (a key property for the definition of a “compact quantum metric space”). In particular, this holds for all word-length functions on ûnitely generated nilpotent-by-finite groups.

Abstract We present a detailed account of the properties of $$\text {twister}$$ twister s and their generalizations, $$\text {FC set}$$ FC set s, which are essential ingredients of the orbifold deconstruction procedure aimed at recognizing whether a given conformal model may be obtained as an orbifold of another one, and if so, to identify the twist group and the original model. The close analogy with the character theory of finite groups is discussed, and its origin explained.

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.

AbstractLet w be a word in k variables. For a finite nilpotent group G, a conjecture of Amit states that $$N_w(1)\ge |G|^{k-1}$$ N w ( 1 ) ≥ | G | k - 1 , where for $$g\in G$$ g ∈ G , the quantity $$N_w(g)$$ N w ( g ) is the number of k-tuples $$(g_1,\ldots ,g_k)\in G^{(k)}$$ ( g 1 , … , g k ) ∈ G ( k ) such that $$w(g_1,\ldots ,g_k)={g}$$ w ( g 1 , … , g k ) = g . Currently, this conjecture is known to be true for groups of nilpotency class 2. Here we consider a generalized version of Amit’s conjecture, which states that $$N_w(g)\ge |G|^{k-1}$$ N w ( g ) ≥ | G | k - 1 for g a w-value in G, and prove that $$N_w(g)\ge |G|^{k-2}$$ N w ( g ) ≥ | G | k - 2 for finite groups G of odd order and nilpotency class 2. If w is a word in two variables, we further show that the generalized Amit conjecture holds for finite groups G of nilpotency class 2. In addition, we use character theory techniques to confirm the generalized Amit conjecture for finite p-groups (p a prime) with two distinct irreducible character degrees and a particular family of words. Finally, we discuss the related group properties of being rational and chiral, and show that every finite group of nilpotency class 2 is rational.
