On Commutators in Groups
Commutators originated over 100 years ago as a by-product of computing group characters of nonabelian groups. They are now an established and immensely useful tool in all of group theory. Commutators became objects of interest in their own right soon after their introduction. In particular, the phenomenon that the set of commutators does not necessarily form a subgroup has been well documented ...
متن کاملON COMMUTATORS IN p-GROUPS
For a given prime p, what is the smallest integer n such that there exists a group of order p in which the set of commutators does not form a subgroup? In this paper we show that n = 6 for any odd prime and n = 7 for p = 2.
متن کاملPermutations preserving divisibility
We give a proof of a theorem on the common divisibility of polynomials and permuted polynomials (over GF (2)) by a polynomial ( ).
متن کاملCommutators and Squares in Free Nilpotent Groups
In a free group no nontrivial commutator is a square. And in the free group F2 = F (x1, x2) freely generated by x1, x2 the commutator [x1, x2], is never the product of two squares in F2, although it is always the product of three squares. Let F2,3 = 〈x1, x2〉 be a free nilpotent group of rank 2 and class 3 freely generated by x1, x2. We prove that in F2,3 = 〈x1, x2〉, it is possible to write cert...
متن کاملCommutators and squares in free groups
Let F2 be the free group generated by x and y . In this article, we prove that the commutator of xm and yn is a product of two squares if and only if mn is even. We also show using topological methods that there are infinitely many obstructions for an element in F2 to be a product of two squares. AMS Classification 20F12; 57M07
