Rank gradient and torsion groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct first examples of infinite finitely generated residually finite torsion groups with positive rank gradient. In particular, these groups are non-amenable. Some applications to problems about cost and L-Betti numbers are discussed.

Ranks of modules relative to a torsion theory
Relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $M$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $M$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $M$ whenever $tau$ is the Goldie torsion theory. It is shown that the $tau$-rank of $M$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $M$. Moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $M$ and c...
متن کاملThe Classification Problem for S-local Torsion-free Abelian Groups of Finite Rank
Suppose that n ≥ 2 and that S, T are sets of primes. Then the classification problem for the S-local torsion-free abelian groups of rank n is Borel reducible to the classification problem for the T -local torsion-free abelian groups of rank n if and only if S ⊆ T .
متن کاملBorel reductions of profinite actions of SLn(Z)
Greg Hjorth and Simon Thomas proved that the classification problem for torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank strictly increases in complexity with the rank. Subsequently, Thomas proved that the complexity of the classification problems for p-local torsion-free abelian groups of fixed rank n are pairwise incomparable as p varies. We prove that if 3 ≤ m < n and p, q are distinct primes, the...
متن کاملThird-rank piezoelectricity in isotropic chiral solids
The highest symmetry in which piezoelectricity was thought to occur is cubic. Here it is shown that third rank piezoelectricity can occur in isotropic chiral solids. Polarization is coupled via an isotropic third rank tensor to the antisymmetric part of the stress. Asymmetric stress can occur if balanced by moments distributed over area or volume. Such moments occur in heterogeneous solids in w...
متن کاملA Note on Twists of (y^2=x^3+1)
‎‎In the category of Mordell curves (E_D:y^2=x^3+D) with nontrivial torsion groups we find curves of the generic rank two as quadratic twists of (E_1), ‎and of the generic rank at least two and at least three as cubic twists of (E_1). ‎Previous work‎, ‎in the category of Mordell curves with trivial torsion groups‎, ‎has found infinitely many elliptic curves with ...
