A generalization of the probability that the commutator of two group elements is equal to a given element
The probability that the commutator of two group elements is equal to a given element has been introduced in literature few years ago. Several authors have investigated this notion with methods of the representation theory and with combinatorial techniques. Here we illustrate that a wider context may be considered and show some structural restrictions on the group.
متن کاملThe Continuum is Countable: Infinity is Unique
Since the theory developed by Georg Cantor, mathematicians have taken a sharp interest in the sizes of infinite sets. We know that the set of integers is infinitely countable and that its cardinality is א0. Cantor proved in 1891 with the diagonal argument that the set of real numbers is uncountable and that there cannot be any bijection between integers and real numbers. Cantor states in partic...
متن کاملA Finitely Presented Torsion-free Simple Group
We construct a finitely presented torsion-free simple group Σ0, acting cocompactly on a product of two regular trees. An infinite family of such groups has been introduced by Burger-Mozes ([2, 4]). We refine their methods and get Σ0 as an index 4 subgroup of a group Σ < Aut(T12)×Aut(T8) presented by 10 generators and 24 short relations. For comparison, the smallest virtually simple group of [4,...
متن کاملRauzy fractals with countable fundamental group
We prove that every free group of finite rank can be realized as the fundamental group of a planar Rauzy fractal associated with a 4-letter unimodular cubic Pisot substitution. This characterizes all countable fundamental groups for planar Rauzy fractals. We give an explicit construction relying on two operations on substitutions: symbolic splittings and conjugations by free group automorphisms.
متن کاملThe Cremona group of the plane is compactly presented
This article shows that the Cremona group of the plane is compactly presented. To do this we prove that it is a generalised amalgamated product of three of its algebraic subgroups (automorphisms of the plane and Hirzebruch surfaces) divided by one relation.
