We give a detailed description of infinite locally nilpotent groups G such that the index |C_G (x) : <x>| is finite, for every non-normal cyclic subgroup <x> of G. We are also able to extend our analysis to all non-periodic groups…
We show that the natural algebraic structure of the singular chains on a path connected topological space determines the fundamental group functorially. Moreover, we describe a notion of weak equivalence for the relevant algebraic structure…
We prove that the weak order on an infinite Coxeter group contains infinite antichains if and only if the group is not affine.
We expound a concise construction of finite groups and groupoids whose Cayley graphs satisfy graded acyclicity requirements. Our acyclicity criteria concern cyclic patterns formed by coset-like configurations w.r.t. subsets of the generator…
We discuss a possible characterization, by means of forbidden configurations, of posets which are embeddable in a product of finitely many scattered chains.
When one studies the structure (e.g. graded ideals, graded subspaces, radicals, ...) or graded polynomial identities of graded algebras, the grading group itself does not play an important role, but can be replaced by any other group that…
In this work, we consider the sample complexity required for testing the monotonicity of distributions over partial orders. A distribution $p$ over a poset is monotone if, for any pair of domain elements $x$ and $y$ such that $x \preceq y$,…
We give three necessary and sufficient conditions for a pro-p group to be p-adic analytic. We show that a noetherian pro-p group having finite chain length has a finite rank and conversely. We further deduce that a noetherian pro-p group…
Without assuming the field structure on the additive group of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ with the usual order $<,$ we explore the fact that every proper subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ is either closed or dense. This property of subgroups of the…
In this note we introduce and characterize a class of finite groups for which the element orders satisfy a certain inequality. This is contained in some well-known classes of finite groups.
Various partial orders related to the structures of dual canonical monoids are investigated. It is shown that the nilpotent variety of a dual canonical monoid is equidimensional; its dimension is found. It is shown in type A that certain…
In this article, we give a few examples of local rings in relation to weak normality and seminormality in mixed characteristic. It is known that two concepts can differ in the equal prime characteristic case, while they coincide in the…
We give a structural description of the normal subgroups of subgroups of finite index in branch groups in terms of rigid stabilizers. This gives further insight into the structure lattices of branch groups introduced by the second author.…
A precise definition of a black hole has long been absent in causal set theory. I first show that the local finiteness of the theory cannot be interpreted as a complete discretization condition, and the theory still admits continua, which I…
The Heisenberg chain with a weak link is studied, as a simple example of a quantum ring with a constriction or defect. The Heisenberg chain is equivalent to a spinless electron gas under a Jordan-Wigner transformation. Using density matrix…
The limiting probability distribution is one of the key characteristics of a Markov chain since it shows its long-term behavior. In this paper, for a higher order Markov chain, we establish some properties related to its exact limiting…
Examples are given of profinite groups that are not strongly complete, and have other `bad' properties, yet have only finitely many open subgroups of each finite index. It is shown that a profinite group with the latter property must be…
A finite ranked poset is called a symmetric chain order if it can be written as a disjoint union of rank-symmetric, saturated chains. If $P$ is any symmetric chain order, we prove that $P^n/\mathbb{Z}_n$ is also a symmetric chain order,…
In this note, we study substructures of generalised power series fields induced by families of well-ordered subsets of the group of exponents. We characterise the set-theoretic and algebraic properties of the induced substructures in terms…
A finite group is called semi-rational if the distribution induced on it by any word map is a virtual character. Amit and Vishne give a sufficient condition for a group to be semi-rational, and ask whether it is also necessary. We answer…
