In this note, I propose the following conjecture : a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if its largest quotient B-group β(G) is nilpotent. I give a proof of this conjecture under the additional assumption that G be solvable. I also show that this conjecture is equivalent to the following : the kernel of restrictions to nilpotent subgroups is a biset-subfunctor of the Burnside functor. AMS ...

In this note we construct a “Kazhdan-Lusztig type” basis in equivariant K-theory of the nilpotent cone of a simple algebraic group G. This basis conjecturally is very close to the basis of this K-group consisting of irreducible bundles on nilpotent orbits. As a consequence we get a natural (conjectural) construction of Lusztig’s bijection between dominant weights and pairs {nilpotent orbit O, i...

applications of hypergroups have mainly appeared in special subclasses. one of the important subclasses is the class of polygroups. in this paper, we study the notions of nilpotent and solvable polygroups by using the notion of heart of polygroups. in particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition between nilpotent (solvable) polygroups and fundamental groups.

We give a sufficient criterion for generic local functional equations for submodule zeta functions associated to nilpotent algebras of endomorphisms defined over number fields. This allows us, in particular, to prove various conjectures on such functional equations for ideal zeta functions of nilpotent Lie lattices. Via the Mal’cev correspondence, these results have corollaries pertaining to ze...

This is a toy example to illustrate some of the techniques of fusion and transfer as described in Gorenstein’s text Finite Groups. Finite groups with a unique subgroup of order p (p an odd prime) are classified in terms of a cyclic p′-extension of relatively simple combinatorial data. This note is intended to address a slightly misstated exercise in somewhat more detail and to be a toy example ...

We determine the number of nilpotent matrices of order n over Fq that are selfadjoint for a given nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, and in particular find the number of symmetric nilpotent matrices.

Let G be a complex simple algebraic group and let g be its Lie algebra. A nilpotent orbit O in g is an orbit of a nilpotent element of g by the adjoint action of G on g. Then O admits a natural symplectic 2-form ω and the nilpotent orbit closure Ō has symplectic singularities in the sense of [Be] and [Na3] (cf. [Pa], [Hi]). In [Ri], Richardson introduced the notion of so-called the Richadson or...

Let g be a complex simple Lie algebra. Fix a Borel subalgebra b and a Cartan subalgebra t ⊂ b. The nilpotent radical of b is denoted by u. The corresponding set of positive (resp. simple) roots is ∆ (resp. Π). An ideal of b is called ad-nilpotent, if it is contained in [b, b]. The theory of ad-nilpotent ideals has attracted much recent attention in the work of Kostant, Cellini-Papi, Sommers, an...

Let G be a finitely generated group and E 5 E 1 < E 2 1 a finite generating system . Define the E -length l E ( g ) of g P G as the minimum length of a representation of g as a product of elements in E , and define f E ( n ) as the number of elements in G with E -length equal to n . We will say that a finitely generated group has polynomial growth if there exists an integer k such that f E ( n ...

In this paper, first we introduce the notions of k-nilpotent (solvable) ideals and BCK-algebras. Specially, show that every commutative ideal is 1-nilpotent (solvable). Second, state an equivalent condition to k-nilpotency (solvablity) BCK-algebra. Finally, study n-fold 2-nilpotent BCK-algebras as a generalization BCK-algebras, relation between these two concepts. Basically, compare solvable (B...
