Which Finite Groups Act Freely on Spheres?
For those who know about group cohomology will know that if a group acts freely on sphere, then it has periodic cohomology. Now the group Zp×Zp does not have periodic cohomology, (just use the Künneth formula again) therefore it cannot act freely on any sphere. For those who do not know about group cohomology a finite group having periodic cohomology is equivalent to all the abelian subgroups b...
متن کاملAutomorphisms of Pro-p groups of finite virtual cohomological dimension
Let G be a pro-p group of finite cohomological dimension and type FP∞ and T is a finite p-group of automorphisms of G. We prove that the group of fixed points of T in G is again a pro-p group of type FP∞ (in particular it is finitely presented). Moreover we prove that a pro-p group G of type FP∞ and finite virtual cohomological dimension has finitely many conjugacy classes of finite subgroups.
متن کاملVirtual Cohomological Dimension of Mapping Class Groups of 3-manifolds
The mapping class group of a topological space is the group of self-homeomorphisms modulo the equivalence relation of isotopy. For 2-manifolds (of finite type), it is a discrete group which is known (see [M, HI, H2, H3, H4]) to share many of the properties of arithmetic subgroups of linear algebraic groups, although it is not arithmetic. In this note we describe the results of [Ml], which show ...
متن کاملAccessing the cohomology of discrete groups above their virtual cohomological dimension
We introduce a method to explicitly determine the Farrell–Tate cohomology of discrete groups. We apply this method to the Coxeter triangle and tetrahedral groups as well as to the Bianchi groups, i.e. PSL2(O) for O the ring of integers in an imaginary quadratic number field, and to their finite index subgroups. We show that the Farrell–Tate cohomology of the Bianchi groups is completely determi...
متن کاملOn the Virtual Cohomological Dimensions of Coxeter Groups
We apply Bestvina’s approach of calculation of the virtual cohomological dimension of Coxeter groups. The explicit formula for vcdFΓ in terms of cohomological properties of the corresponding complex K is given.
