Spaces of commuting elements in the classical groups

On Spaces of Commuting Elements in Lie Groups

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new method of “stabilizing” spaces of homomorphisms Hom(π,G) where π is a certain choice of finitely generated group and G is a compact Lie group. The main results apply to the space of all ordered n-tuples of pairwise commuting elements in a compact Lie group G, denoted Hom(Zn, G), by assembling these spaces into a single space for all n ≥ 0. The res...

Pairwise‎ ‎non-commuting elements in finite metacyclic $2$-groups and some finite $p$-groups

Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements‎ ‎if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute‎. ‎In this paper‎ ‎we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite‎ ‎non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup‎.

Commuting Elements and Spaces of Homomorphisms

Abstract. This article records basic topological, as well as homological properties of the space of homomorphisms Hom(π,G) where π is a finitely generated discrete group, and G is a Lie group, possibly non-compact. If π is a free abelian group of rank equal to n, then Hom(π,G) is the space of ordered n–tuples of commuting elements in G. If G = SU(2), a complete calculation of the cohomology of ...
