Formal Power

In the paper [13], for an arbitrary virtual link [Formula: see text], three groups [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were defined. In the present paper, these groups for the virtual trefoil are investigated. The structure of these groups are found out and the fact that some of them are not isomorphic to each other is proved. Also, we prove that [Formula: see text] distinguishes the Kishino knot from the trivial knot. The fact that these groups have the lower central series which does not stabilize on the second term is noted. Hence, we have a possibility to study these groups using quotients by terms of the lower central series and to construct representations of these groups in rings of formal power series. It allows to construct an invariants for virtual knots.

1. LetGbe a group,ZGits integral group ring and Δ = ΔGthe augmentation idealZGBy anaugmentation quotientofGwe mean any one of theZG-moduleswheren, r≥ 1. In recent years there has been a great deal of interest in determining the abelian group structure of the augmentation quotientsQn(G) =Qn,1(G) and(see (1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15)). Passi(8) has shown that in order to determineQn(G) andPn(G) for finiteGit is sufficient to assume thatGis ap-group. Passi(8, 9) and Singer(13, 14) have obtained information on the structure of these quotients for certain classes of abelianp-groups. However little seems to be known of a quantitative nature for nonabelian groups. In (2) Bachmann and Grünenfelder have proved the following qualitative result: ifGis a finite group then there exist natural numbersn0and π such thatQn(G) ≅Qn+π(G) for alln≥n0; ifGωis the nilpotent residual ofGandG/Gωhas classcthen π divides l.c.m. {1, 2, …,c}. There do not appear to be any examples in the literature of this periodic behaviour forc> 1. One of goals here is to present such examples. These examples will be from the class of finitep-groups in which the lower central series is anNp-series.

Central Depth

We say that a group G has finite lower central depth (or simply, finite depth) if the lower central series of G stabilises after a finite number of steps.In [1], we proved that if G is a finitely generated soluble group in which each two generator subgroup has finite depth then G is a finite-by-nilpotent group. Here, in answer to a question of R. Baer, we prove the following stronger version of this result.

Seifert Surfaces

We show that the Vassiliev invariants of a knot K, are obstructions to finding a regular Seifert surface, S, whose complement looks "simple" (e.g. like the complement of a disc) to the lower central series of its fundamental group. We also conjecture a characterization of knots whose invariants of all orders vanish in terms of their Seifert surfaces.

Base Group

Let G be a group with a normal subgroup H whose index is a power of a prime p, and which is nilpotent with exponent a power of p. Gilbert Baumslag (Proc. Cambridge Philos. Soc. 55 (1959), 224–231) has shown that such a group is nilpotent; the main result of this paper is an upper bound on its nilpotency class in terms of parameters of H and G/H. It is shown that this bound is attained whenever G is a wreath product and H its base group.A descending central series, here called the cpp-series, is involved in these calculations more closely than is the lower central series, and the class of the wreath product in terms of this series is also found.Two tools used to obtain the main result, namely a useful basis for a finite p-group and a result about the augmentation ideal of the integer group ring of a finite p-group, may have some independent interest. The main result is applied to the construction of some two-generator groups of large nilpotency class with exponents 8, 9, and 25.
