Right Angled Artin Groups

Abstract We study Artin kernels, i.e. kernels of discrete characters of right-angled Artin groups, and we show that they decompose as graphs of groups in a way that can be explicitly computed from the underlying graph. When the underlying graph is chordal, we show that every such subgroup either surjects to an infinitely generated free group or is a generalized Baumslag–Solitar group of variable rank. In particular, for block graphs (e.g. trees), we obtain an explicit rank formula and discuss some features of the space of fibrations of the associated right-angled Artin group.

SynopsisThe class CS of completely simple semigroups forms a variety under the operations of multiplication and inversion (x−1 being the inverse of x in its ℋ-class). We determine a Rees matrix representation of the CS-free product of an arbitrary family of completely simple semigroups and deduce a description of the free completely simple semigroups, whose existence was proved by McAlister in 1968 and whose structure was first given by Clifford in 1979. From this a description of the lattice of varieties of completely simple semigroups is given in terms of certain subgroups of a free group of countable rank. Whilst not providing a “list” of identities on completely simple semigroups it does enable us to deduce, for instance, the description of all varieties of completely simple semigroups with abelian subgroups given by Rasin in 1979. It also enables us to describe the maximal subgroups of the “free” idempotent-generated completely simple semigroups T(α, β) denned by Eberhart et al. in 1973 and to show in general the maximal subgroups of the “V-free” semigroups of this type (which we define) need not be free in any variety of groups.

AbstractThe structure of locally soluble periodic groups in which every abelian subgroup is locally cyclic was described over 20 years ago. We complete the aforementioned characterization by dealing with the non-periodic case. We also describe the structure of locally finite groups in which all abelian subgroups are locally cyclic.

Trivial Center

It is conjectured that an irreducible Artin group which is of infinite type has trivial center. The conjecture is known to be true for two-dimensional Artin groups and for a few other types of Artin groups. In this work, we show that the conjecture holds true for Artin groups which satisfy a condition stronger than being of infinite type. We use small cancellation theory of relative presentations.

Proper Orthogonal

1. Introduction. We consider the group of proper orthogonal transformations (rotations) in three-dimensional Euclidean space, represented by real orthogonal matrices (aik) (i, k = 1,2,3) with determinant + 1 . It is known that this rotation group contains free (non-abelian) subgroups; in fact Hausdorff (5) showed how to find two rotations P and Q generating a group with only two non-trivial relationsP2 = Q3 = I.
