For a group $G$ and $X$ a subset of $G$ the commuting graph of $G$ on $X$, denoted by $\cal{C}(G,X)$, is the graph whose vertex set is $X$ with $x,y\in X$ joined by an edge if $x\neq y$ and $x$ and $y$ commute. If the elements in $X$ are involutions, then $\cal{C}(G,X)$ is called a commuting involution graph. This paper studies $\cal{C}(G,X)$ when $G$ is a 3-dimensional projective special unitary group and $X$ a $G$-conjugacy class of involutions, determining the diameters and structure of the discs of these graphs.

SynopsisThe special unitary group SU(n) has the stable homotopy type of a wedge of n − 1 finite complexes. The ‘first’ of these complexes is ΣℂPn–1, which is well known to be indecomposable at the prime 2 whether n is finite or infinite. We show that the ‘second’ finite complex is again indecomposable at the prime 2 when n is finite, but splits into a wedge of two pieces when n is infinite.

AbstractIn this paper, the author presents a new algorithm to recognise, constructively, when a given black-box group is a homomorphic image of the unitary group SU(d, q) for known d and q. The algorithm runs in polynomial time, assuming the existence of oracles for handling SL(2, q) subgroups, and for computing discrete logarithms in cyclic groups of order q ± 1.

AbstractWe study the space of commuting elements in the central product Gm,p of m copies of the special unitary group SU(p), where p is a prime number. In particular, a computation for the number of path-connected components of these spaces is given and the geometry of the moduli space Rep(ℤn, Gm,p) of isomorphism classes of flat connections on principal Gm,p-bundles over the n-torus is completely described for all values of n, m and p.
