We consider low dimensional diffuse Bieberbach groups. In particular we classify diffuse Bieberbach groups up to dimension 6. We also answer a question from [S. Kionke, J. Raimbault, On geometric aspects of diffuse groups, Doc. Math. 21…
There are perfect Bieberbach groups of Hirsch length 15, but none in lower dimensions. We shall show that a nonsolvable, torsion free, virtually solvable group $S$ must have Hirsch length $h(S)\geq10$. If $h(S)\leq13$ then we may assume…
Let N be a minimal normal nonabelian subgroup of a finite group G. We will show that there exists a nontrivial irreducible character of N of degree at least 5 which is extendible to G. This result will be used to settle two open questions…
Each Abelian subgroup of the fundamental group of a compact and locally simply connected $d$-dimensional length space with no conjugate points is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^k$ for some $0 \leq k \leq d$. It follows from this and previously…
In this paper we prove that the homological dimension of an elementary amenable group over an arbitrary commutative coefficient ring is either infinite or equal to the Hirsch length of the group. Established theory gives simple group…
We present a list of all isomorphism classes of nonsolvable Lie algebras of dimension less than 7 over a finite field.
In this paper we give the classification of the irreducible non solvable Lie algebras of dimensions $\leq 13$ with nondegenerate, symmetric and invariant bilinear forms.
In this paper we prove that free solvable groups have finite Krull dimension. In fact, this is true for much wider class of solvable groups, termed rigid groups. Along the way we study the algebraic structure of the limit solvable groups…
All indecomposable unimodular hermitian lattices in dimensions 14 and 15 over the ring of integers in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ are determined. Precisely one lattice in dimension 14 and two lattices in dimension 15 have minimal norm 3.
An n-dimensional Bieberbach group is the fundamental group of a closed flat $n$-dimensional manifold. K. Dekimpe and P. Penninckx conjectured that an n-dimensional Bieberbach group can be generated by n elements. In this paper, we show that…
This note is devoted to the construction of two very easy examples, of respective dimensions 4 and 6, of graded Lie algebras whose grading is not given by a semigroup, the latter one being a semisimple algebra. It is shown that 4 is the…
Let c(d) denote the minimal composition length of all finite solvable groups with solvable (or derived) length d. We prove that c(d) equals 0,1,2,4,5,7,8,13,15 when d=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
In this paper we prove that for each dimension $n$ there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of pairs of groups $(\Gamma,\mathrm{N})$ such that $\Gamma$ is an $n$-dimensional crystallographic group and $\mathrm{N}$ is a normal…
A partial group with $n+1$ elements is, when regarded as a symmetric simplicial set, of dimension at most $n$. This dimension is $n$ if and only if the partial group is a group. As a consequence of the first statement, finite partial groups…
Every finite group $G$ has a normal series each of whose factors is either a solvable group or a direct product of nonabelian simple groups. The minimum number of nonsolvable factors attained on all possible such series is called the…
This is the third one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with orthogonal groups in odd dimension.
Let $p$ be a prime number and suppose that every maximal subgroup of a finite group is either $p$-nilpotent or has prime index. Such group need not be $p$-solvable, and we study its structure by proving that only one nonabelian simple group…
We introduce the notion of the depth of a finite group $G$, defined as the minimal length of an unrefinable chain of subgroups from $G$ to the trivial subgroup. In this paper we investigate the depth of (non-abelian) finite simple groups.…
We exhibit a family of infinite, finitely-presented, nilpotent-by-abelian groups. Each member of this family is a solvable S-arithmetic group that is related to Baumslag-Solitar groups, and everyone of these groups has a quasi-isometry…
We study finite groups $G$ with the property that for any subgroup $M$ maximal in $G$ whose order is divisible by all the prime divisors of $|G|$, $M$ is supersolvable. We show that any nonabelian simple group can occur as a composition…
