AbstractLet p be an odd prime. A method is described which given a structure M of finite similarity type produces a nilpotent group of class 2 and exponent p which is in the same stability class as M.Theorem. There are nilpotent groups of class 2 and exponent p in all stability classes.Theorem. The problem of characterizing a stability class is equivalent to characterizing the (nilpotent, class 2, exponent p) groups in that class.

Let G be a nilpotent group with finite abelian ranks (e.g. let G be a finitely generated nilpotent group) and suppose φ is an automorphism of G of finite order m. If γ and ψ denote the associated maps of G given by \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\gamma :g \mapsto g^{ - 1} \cdot g\phi and \psi :g \mapsto g \cdot g\phi \cdot g\phi ^2 \cdots \cdot \cdot g\phi ^{m - 1} for g \in G,$$ \end{document} then Gγ · kerγ and Gψ · ker ψ are both very large in that they contain subgroups of finite index in G.

A Finite Group

AbstractThe function {\mathrm{F}_{G}(n)} gives the maximum order of a finite group needed to distinguish a nontrivial element of G from the identity with a surjective group morphism as one varies over nontrivial elements of word length at most n. In previous work [M. Pengitore, Effective separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups, New York J. Math. 24 2018, 83–145], the author claimed a characterization for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. However, a counterexample to the above claim was communicated to the author, and consequently, the statement of the asymptotic characterization of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} is incorrect. In this article, we introduce new tools to provide lower asymptotic bounds for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. Moreover, we introduce a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups for which the upper bound of the above article can be improved. Finally, we construct a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups N for which the asymptotic behavior of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} can be fully characterized.

AbstractIn this paper, we characterize the genus of an arbitrary torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent group of class two and of Hirsch length six by means of a finite number of arithmetical invariants. An algorithm which permits the enumeration of all possible genera that can occur under the conditions above is also given.

Group A

In this paper, some contributions are made to the theory of algebraic equations over the rational field with conditions imposed on the Galois group. In § 1, for a given abstract group G all faithful permutation representations Ḡ are obtained, and it is shown that if one of them is the group of some equation with splitting field K, then any of them is the group of some equation, also with splitting field K. The method of proof enables us to construct an equation having as group a given faithful permutation representation Ḡ of a prescribed group G if we are given an equation having as group some faithful representation of G. In § 2, equations having nilpotent group are considered, non-normal extension fields are discussed, and a canonical form is obtained for the roots of non-normal irreducible equations; this form is used to characterize fields and equations with nilpotent groups.

The Relationship

If (Y, µ) is an H-Space (here all our spaces are assumed to be finitely generated) with homotopy associative multiplication µ. and X is a finite CW complex then [X, Y] has the structure of a nilpotent group. Using this and the relationship between the localizations of nilpotent groups and topological spaces one can demonstrate various properties of [X,Y] (see [1], [2], [6] for example). If µ is not homotopy associative then [X, Y] has the structure of a nilpotent loop [7], [9]. However this algebraic structure is not rich enough to reflect certain significant properties of [X, Y]. Indeed, we will show that there is no theory of localization for nilpotent loops which will correspond to topological localization or will restrict to the localization of nilpotent groups.

A nilpotent groupGis fgp ifGp, is finitely generated (fg) as ap-local group for all primesp; it is fg-like if there exists a nilpotent fg groupHsuch thatGp≃Hpfor all primesp. The fgp nilpotent groups form a (generalized) Serre class; the fg-like nilpotent groups do not. However, for abelian groups, a subgroup of an fg-like group is fg-like, and an extension of an fg-like group by an fg-like group is fg-like. These properties persist for nilpotent groups with finite commutator subgroup, but fail in general.

Let [Formula: see text] be a finite group and let [Formula: see text] be the holomorph of [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is a finite nilpotent group or a symmetric group [Formula: see text] of degree [Formula: see text], then the normalizer property holds for [Formula: see text].

A Finite Group

A finite group G is called a special local 2-nilpotent group if G is not 2-nilpotent, the Sylow 2-subgroup P of G has a section isomorphic to the quaternion group of order 8, [Formula: see text] and NG(P) is 2-nilpotent. In this paper, it is shown that SL2(q), [Formula: see text], is a special local 2-nilpotent group if and only if [Formula: see text], and that GL2(q), [Formula: see text], is a special local 2-nilpotent group if and only if q is odd. Moreover, the solvability of finite groups is also investigated by giving two generalizations of a result from [A note on p-nilpotence and solvability of finite groups, J. Algebra 321 (2009) 1555–1560].
