Let G be a monoid; that is to say, G is a set such that with each pair σ, τ of elements of G there is associated a further element of G called the ‘product’ of σ and τ and written as στ. In addition it is required that multiplication be associative and that G shall have a unit element. The so-called ‘Homology Theory’† associates with each left G-module A and each integer n (n ≥ 0) an additive Abelian group Hn (G, A), called the nth homology group of G with coefficients in A. It is natural to ask what can be said about G if all the homology groups of G after the pth vanish identically in A. In this paper we give a complete answer to this question in the case when G is an Abelian group. Before describing the main result, however, it will be convenient to define what we shall call the homology type of G. We write Hn(G, A) ≡ 0 if Hn(G, A) = 0 for all left G-modules A.

We link distinct concepts of geometric group theory and homotopy theory through underlying combinatorics. For a flag simplicial complex $K$ , we specify a necessary and sufficient combinatorial condition for the commutator subgroup $RC_K'$ of a right-angled Coxeter group, viewed as the fundamental group of the real moment-angle complex $\mathcal {R}_K$ , to be a one-relator group; and for the Pontryagin algebra $H_{*}(\Omega \mathcal {Z}_K)$ of the moment-angle complex to be a one-relator algebra. We also give a homological characterization of these properties. For $RC_K'$ , it is given by a condition on the homology group $H_2(\mathcal {R}_K)$ , whereas for $H_{*}(\Omega \mathcal {Z}_K)$ it is stated in terms of the bigrading of the homology groups of $\mathcal {Z}_K$ .

AbstractLet G be an abelian group. The aim of this short paper is to describe a way to identify pure subgroups H of G by looking only at how the subgroup lattice $$\mathcal {L}(H)$$ L ( H ) embeds in $$\mathcal {L}(G)$$ L ( G ) . It is worth noticing that all results are carried out in a local nilpotent context for a general definition of purity.

In 2004, a counterexample was given for a 1965 result of R. J. Elliott claiming that discrete spectral synthesis holds on every Abelian group. Since then the investigation of discrete spectral analysis and synthesis has gained traction. Characterizations of the Abelian groups that possess spectral analysis and spectral synthesis, respectively, were published in 2005. A characterization of the varieties on discrete Abelian groups enjoying spectral synthesis is still missing. We present a ring theoretical approach to the issue. In particular, we provide a generalization of the Principal Ideal Theorem on discrete Abelian groups.

In this paper, we wish to characterize those abelian groups whose integral homology groups vanish in some positive dimension. We obtain a complete characterization provided the dimension in which the homology vanishes is odd; in fact, we prove that the only abelian groups which possess a vanishing homology group in an odd dimension are, up to isomorphism, subgroups of Qn, where Q denotes the additive group of rational numbers. The case of vanishing in an even dimension is much more complicated. We exhibit a class of groups whose homology vanishes in even dimensions and is otherwise very nice, namely the subgroups of Q/Z, and then show that unless we impose further restrictions, there exist abelian groups which possess the homology of subgroups of Q/Z without being isomorphic to a subgroup of Q/Z.

AbstractIn the category of soft topological spaces, a singular homology group is defined and the homotopic invariance of this group is proved [Internat. J. Engrg. Innovative Tech. (IJEIT) 3 (2013), no. 2, 292–299]. The first aim of this study is to define relative homology groups in the category of pairs of soft topological spaces. For these groups it is proved that the axioms of dimensional and exactness homological sequences hold true. The axiom of excision for singular homology groups is also proved.

We give a characterization of finite pointed tensor categories obtained as de-equivariantizations of the category of corepresentations of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with abelian group of group-like elements only in terms of the (cohomology class of the) associator of the pointed part. As an application we prove that every coradically graded pointed finite braided tensor category is a de-equivariantization of the category of corepresentations of a finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras with abelian group of group-like elements.

Abstract.We give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian group 𝒢 of affine maps on ℂn. If G is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by n affine maps on Cn has a dense orbit.

A $3$-coloring of the elements of an abelian group is said to be rainbow-free if there is no $3$-term arithmetic progression with its members having pairwise distinct colors. We give a structural characterization of rainbow-free colorings of abelian groups. This characterization proves a conjecture of Jungić et al. on the size of the smallest chromatic class of a rainbow-free $3$-coloring of cyclic groups.

It is a fascinating problem in the axiomatics of any mathematical system to reduce the number of axioms, the number of variables used in each axiom, the length of the various identities, the number of concepts involved in the system etc. to a minimum. In other words, one is interested finding systems which are apparently ‘of different structures’ but which represent the same reality. Sheffer's stroke operation and. Byrne's brief formulations of Boolean algebras [1], Sholander's characterization of distributive lattices [7] and Sorkin's famous problem of characterizing lattices by means of two identities are all in the same spirit. In groups, when defined as usual, we demand a binary, unary and a nullary operation respectively, say, a, b →a·b; a→a−1; the existence of a unit element). However, as G. Rabinow first proved in [6], groups can be made as a subvariety of groupoids (mathematical systems with just one binary operation) with the operation * where a * b is the right division, ab−1. [8], M. Sholander proved the striking result that a mathematical system closed under a binary operation * and satisfying the identity S: x * ((x *z) * (y *z)) = y is an abelian group. Yet another identity, already known in the literature, characterizing abelian groups is HN: x * ((z * y) * (z * a;)) = y which is due to G. Higman and B. H. Neumann ([3], [4])*. As can be seen both the identities are of length six and both of them belong to the same ‘bracketting scheme’ or ‘bracket type’.

1. Introduction. In (1) we have introduced the notions of “construction” and “ generic acyclicity” in order to determine a homology theory for any class of multiplicative systems defined by identities. Among these classes the most interesting one is the class of associative and commutative systems II with a unit element (containing the class of abelian groups).
