Parabolic Conjugacy in General Linear Groups
Let q be a power of a prime and n a positive integer. Let P (q) be a parabolic subgroup of the finite general linear group GLn(q). We show that the number of P (q)conjugacy classes in GLn(q) is, as a function of q, a polynomial in q with integer coefficients. This answers a question of J. Alperin in [1].
متن کاملConjugacy Classes in Maximal Parabolic Subgroups of General Linear Groups
We compute conjugacy classes in maximal parabolic subgroups of the general linear group. This computation proceeds by reducing to a “matrix problem”. Such problems involve finding normal forms for matrices under a specified set of row and column operations. We solve the relevant matrix problem in small dimensional cases. This gives us all conjugacy classes in maximal parabolic subgroups over a ...
متن کاملUnipotent Conjugacy in General Linear Groups
Hence, it is easy to count the orbits of GL n q under the conjugation action of U n q but seems hard to do the same for the group U n q itself! We fix some further notation. Let V n q be the vector space of column vectors, a module for GL n q . Recall that a flag is a totally ordered set of n− 1 nonzero proper subspaces of V n q . For g in GL n q let f g be the number of flags fixed by g, so it...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Approach toward Conjugacy Classes in the Finite General Linear and Unitary Groups
The conjugacy classes of the nite general linear and unitary groups are used to de ne probability measures on the set of all partitions of all natural numbers. Probabilistic algorithms for growing random partitions according to these measures are obtained. These algorithms are applied to prove group theoretic results which are typically proved by techniques such as character theory and Moebius ...
متن کاملThe Simultaneous Conjugacy Problem in Groups of Piecewise Linear Functions
Guba and Sapir asked, in their joint paper [8], if the simultaneous conjugacy problem was solvable in Diagram Groups or, at least, for Thompson’s group F . We give an elementary proof for the solution of the latter question. This relies purely on the description of F as the group of piecewise linear orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the unit. The techniques we develop allow us also to so...
