Whitehead Groups of Finite Groups
In 1966, Milnor surveyed in this Bulletin [23] the concept of Whitehead torsion, focusing on the definition, topological significance and computation of Whitehead groups and their relationship to algebraic ^-theory and the congruence subgroup problem. As Milnor showed in that survey [23, Appendix 1], an affirmative solution to the congruence subgroup problem for algebraic number fields would im...
متن کاملTest Groups for Whitehead Groups
We consider the question of when the dual of a Whitehead group is a test group for Whitehead groups. This turns out to be equivalent to the question of when the tensor product of two Whitehead groups is Whitehead. We investigate what happens in different models of set theory.
متن کاملBorel Whitehead Groups
We investigate the Whiteheadness of Borel abelian groups (א1-free, without loss of generality as otherwise this is trivial). We show that CH (and even WCH) implies any such abelian group is free, and always א2-free. 1998 Mathematics Subject Classification 03C60, 03E15, 20K20.
متن کاملNonpositive Curvature and Reflection Groups
Introduction. A space is aspherical if its universal cover is contractible. Examples of aspherical spaces occur in differential geometry (as complete Riemannian manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature), in Lie groups (as Γ\G/K where G is a Lie group, K is a maximal compact subgroup and Γ is a discrete torsion-free subgroup), in 3-manifold theory and as certain 2-dimensional cell complexes....
متن کاملRecognition of Whitehead-Minimal Elements in Free Groups of Large Ranks
In this paper we introduce a pattern classification system to recognize words of minimal length in their automorphic orbits in free groups. This system is based on Support Vector Machines and does not use any particular results from group theory. The main advantage of the system is its stable performance in recognizing minimal elements in free groups with large ranks.
