Universal for Infinite Symmetric Groups ?
Let W= W(xx,...,Xj)bc any word in thej free generators xx,...,Xj, and suppose that W cannot be expressed in the form W = Vk for V a word and for k an integer with \k\¥" 1. We ask whether the equation f=W has a solution (xx>... ,Xj) = (a,,... ,Oj) €E GJ whenever G is an infinite symmetric group and/is an element in G. We establish an affirmative answer in the case that W(x, y) = xmy" for m and n...
متن کاملInfinite Primitive Groups.
We give a complete characterization of finitely generated primitive groups in several settings including linear groups, subgroups of mapping class groups, groups acting minimally on trees and convergence groups. The latter category includes as a special case Kleinian groups as well as finitely generated subgroups of word hyperbolic groups. As an application we calculate the Frattini subgroup in...
متن کاملGenerating infinite symmetric groups
Let S = Sym(Ω) be the group of all permutations of an infinite set Ω. Extending an argument of Macpherson and Neumann, it is shown that if U is a generating set for S as a group, respectively as a monoid, then there exists a positive integer n such that every element of S may be written as a group word, respectively a monoid word, of length ≤ n in the elements of U. Some related questions are n...
متن کاملWords with Intervening Neighbours in Infinite Coxeter Groups are Reduced
Consider a graph with vertex set S. A word in the alphabet S has the intervening neighbours property if any two occurrences of the same letter are separated by all its graph neighbours. For a Coxeter graph, words represent group elements. Speyer recently proved that words with the intervening neighbours property are irreducible if the group is infinite and irreducible. We present a new and shor...
متن کاملSubgroups of Infinite Symmetric Groups
This paper and its sequel [17] deal with a range of questions about the subgroup structure of infinite symmetric groups. Our concern is with such questions as the following. How can an infinite symmetric group be expressed as the union of a chain of proper subgroups? What are the subgroups that supplement the normal subgroups of an infinite symmetric group? What are the maximal proper subgroups...
