AbstractAn element a of a semigroup S is n-potent if there exist a1, a2,..., ak∈S such that a = a1a2...ak and If S is a group, the set of n-potent elements is a normal subgroup of S and the set of 1-potent elements is the commutator subgroup of S.

A Finite Group

In [1] Gaschütz has shown that a finite group G splits over an abelian normal subgroup N if its Frattini subgroup ϕ(G) intersects N trivially. When N is a non-abelian nilpotent normal subgroup of G the condition ϕ(G)∩ N = 1 cannot be satisfied: for if N is non-abelian then the commutator subgroup C(N) of N is non-trivial. Now N is nilpotent, whence 1 ≠ C(N)⊂ϕ(N). Since G is a finite group, therefore, by (3, theorem 7.3.17) ϕ⊂ϕ(G). It follows that ϕ(G) ∩ N ≠ 1. Thus the condition ϕ(G) ∩ N = 1 must be modified. In §1 we shall derive some similar type of conditions for G to split over N when the restriction of N being an abelian normal subgroup is removed. In § 2 we shall give a characterization of splitting extensions of N in which every subgroup splits over its intersection with N.

Dehornoy showed that the Artin braid groups Bn are left-orderable. This ordering is discrete, but we show that, for n > 2 the Dehornoy ordering, when restricted to certain natural subgroups, becomes a dense ordering. Among subgroups which arise are the commutator subgroup and the kernel of the Burau representation (for those n for which the kernel is nontrivial). These results follow from a characterization of least positive elements of any normal subgroup of Bn which is discretely ordered by the Dehornoy ordering.

We link distinct concepts of geometric group theory and homotopy theory through underlying combinatorics. For a flag simplicial complex $K$ , we specify a necessary and sufficient combinatorial condition for the commutator subgroup $RC_K'$ of a right-angled Coxeter group, viewed as the fundamental group of the real moment-angle complex $\mathcal {R}_K$ , to be a one-relator group; and for the Pontryagin algebra $H_{*}(\Omega \mathcal {Z}_K)$ of the moment-angle complex to be a one-relator algebra. We also give a homological characterization of these properties. For $RC_K'$ , it is given by a condition on the homology group $H_2(\mathcal {R}_K)$ , whereas for $H_{*}(\Omega \mathcal {Z}_K)$ it is stated in terms of the bigrading of the homology groups of $\mathcal {Z}_K$ .

A subgroup H of a finite group G is said to be weakly H -embedded in G if there exists a normal subgroup T of G such that H G = H T and H ∩ T ∈ H ( G ) , where H G is the normal closure of H in G, and H ( G ) is the set of all H -subgroups of G. In the recent research, Asaad, Ramadan and Heliel gave new characterization of p-nilpotent: Let p be the smallest prime dividing | G | , and P a non-cyclic Sylow p-subgroup of G. Then G is p-nilpotent if and only if there exists a p-power d with 1 < d < | P | such that all subgroups of P of order d and p d are weakly H -embedded in G. As new applications of weakly H -embedded subgroups, in this paper, (1) we generalize this result for general prime p and get a new criterion for p-supersolubility; (2) adding the condition “ N G ( P ) is p-nilpotent”, here N G ( P ) = { g ∈ G | P g = P } is the normalizer of P in G, we obtain p-nilpotence for general prime p. Moreover, our tool is the weakly H -embedded subgroup. However, instead of the normality of H G = H T , we just need H T is S-quasinormal in G, which means that H T permutes with every Sylow subgroup of G.

AbstractLet Φ be a reduced irreducible root system of rank greater than or equal to 2, let R be a commutative ring and let I, J be two ideals of R. In the present paper we describe generators of the commutator groups of relative elementary subgroups [E(Φ,R,I),E(Φ,R,J)] both as normal subgroups of the elementary Chevalley group E(Φ,R), and as groups. Namely, let xα(ξ), α ∈ Φ ξ ∈ R, be an elementary generator of E(Φ,R). As a normal subgroup of the absolute elementary group E(Φ,R), the relative elementary subgroup is generated by xα(ξ), α ∈ Φ, ξ ∈ I. Classical results due to Stein, Tits and Vaserstein assert that as a group E(Φ,R,I) is generated by zα(ξ,η), where α ∈ Φ, ξ ∈ I, η ∈ R. In the present paper, we prove the following birelative analogues of these results. As a normal subgroup of E(Φ,R) the relative commutator subgroup [E(Φ,R,I),E(Φ,R,J)] is generated by the following three types of generators: (i) [xα(ξ),zα(ζ,η)], (ii) [xα(ξ),x_α(ζ)] and (iii) xα(ξζ), where α ∈ Φ, ξ ∈ I, ζ ∈ J, η ∈ R. As a group, the generators are essentially the same, only that type (iii) should be enlarged to (iv) zα(ξζ,η). For classical groups, these results, with many more computational proofs, were established in previous papers by the authors. There is already an amazing application of these results in the recent work of Stepanov on relative commutator width.
