Nuclear Group Algebras for Finitely Generated Groups

Finitely Generated Nilpotent Group C*-algebras Have Finite Nuclear Dimension

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra A generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has decomposition rank at most 3. If, in addition, A satisfies the universal coefficient theorem, another string of deep results shows it is classifiable by its Ellio...

Division Algebras Generated by Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups

Division algebras D generated by some finitely generated nilpotent subgroup G of the multiplicative group D* of D are studied and the question to what extent G is determined by D is considered. Trivial examples show that D does not determine G up to isomorphism. However, it is proved that if F denotes the center of D, then the F-subalgebra of D generated by G is in fact determined up to isomorp...

Finitely Generated Abelian Groups

Finitely Generated Semiautomatic Groups

The present work shows that Cayley automatic groups are semiautomatic and exhibits some further constructions of semiautomatic groups and in particular shows that every finitely generated group of nilpotency class 3 is semiautomatic.

4 A reductive group with finitely generated cohomology algebras .

Let G be the linear algebraic group SL3 over a field k of characteristic two. Let A be a finitely generated commutative k-algebra on which G acts rationally by k-algebra automorphisms. We show that the full cohomology ring H(G,A) is finitely generated. This extends the finite generation property of the ring of invariants AG. We discuss where the problem stands for other geometrically reductive ...
