Subgroups of arbitrary even ordinary depth

Group Theory 2020-06-19 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

We show that for each positive integer nn, there are a group GG and a subgroup HH such that the ordinary depth is d(H,G)=2nd(H, G) = 2n. This solves the open problem posed by Lars Kadison whether even ordinary depth larger than 66 can occur.
