In this paper a Fuchsian group G shall be a discrete group of Möbius transformations each of which maps the unit disc △ in the complex plane onto itself. We shall also assume throughout this paper that G is both finitely generated and of the first kind.

1. Introduction. Let G be a Fuchsian group which acts on the unit disc Δ. A fundamental region D for G acting in Δ is a subset of Δ such that D is open and connected and each point of Δ is G-equivalent to exactly one point in D or at least one point in D̅ (the closure of D in Δ). Throughout this paper we consider only fundamental regions which are (hyperbolically) convex. Beardon has shown (2) that it is possible for a convex fundamental region to have certain undesirable properties. It can happen that a convex region is not locally finite, i.e. there exist points of Δ where infinitely many G images of D accumulate. For a domain D we denote by F the set of such points.

AbstractWe study the growth of group endomorphisms, a generalization of the classical notion of growth of finitely generated groups, which is strictly related to algebraic entropy. We prove that the inner automorphisms of a group have the same growth type and the same algebraic entropy as the identity automorphism. Moreover, we show that endomorphisms of locally finite groups cannot have intermediate growth. We also find an example showing that the Addition Theorem for algebraic entropy does not hold for endomorphisms of arbitrary groups.

Paracompact Spaces

An ideal on a setXis a nonempty collection of subsets ofXclosed under the operations of subset and finite union. Given a topological spaceXand an idealℐof subsets ofX,Xis defined to beℐ-paracompact if every open cover of the space admits a locally finite open refinement which is a cover for all ofXexcept for a set inℐ. Basic results are investigated, particularly with regard to theℐ- paracompactness of two associated topologies generated by sets of the formU−IwhereUis open andI∈ℐand⋃{U|Uis open andU−A∈ℐ, for some open setA}. Preservation ofℐ-paracompactness by functions, subsets, and products is investigated. Important special cases ofℐ-paracompact spaces are the usual paracompact spaces and the almost paracompact spaces of Singal and Arya [“On m-paracompact spaces”, Math. Ann., 181 (1969), 119-133].

AbstractGroups in which every infinite set of subgroups contains a pair that permute were studied by M. Curzio, J. Lennox, A. Rhemtulla and J. Wiegold. The question whether periodic groups in this class were locally finite was left open. Here we show that if the generators of such a group G are periodic then G is locally finite. This enables us to get the following characterisation. A finitely generated group G is centre-by-finite if and only if every infinite set of subgroups of G contains a pair that permute.

Locally Graded Groups

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.

Nilpotent Maximal Subgroup

Let D be a division ring and N be a subnormal subgroup of D*. In this paper we prove that if M is a nilpotent maximal subgroup of N, then M′ is abelian. If, furthermore every element of M is algebraic over Z(D) and M′ ⊈ F* or M/Z(M) or M′ is finitely generated, then M is abelian. The second main result of this paper concerns the subgroups of matrix groups; assume D is a noncommutative division ring, n is a natural number, N is a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D), and M is a maximal subgroup of N. We show that if M is locally finite over Z(D)*, then M is either absolutely irreducible or abelian.
