Breaking points in centralizer lattices

Group Theory 2018-02-13 v1

Abstract

In this note, we prove that the centralizer lattice C(G){\mathfrak C}(G) of a group GG cannot be written as a union of two proper intervals. In particular, it follows that C(G){\mathfrak C}(G) has no breaking point. As an application, we show that the generalized quaternion 22-groups are not capable.
