Two Small Nonstandard Group-theoretic Observations
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note, we make two nonstandard group-theoretic observations. First, we give a short nonstandard proof of a well-known result in group theory concerning locally nilpotent groups. Second, we outline a nonstandard way of viewing the projective limit of an projective family of groups. (We are unsure if this second observation, in some form, has already been discovered, although we would not be surprised to find out that it had.)

A Circuit-theoretic Anomaly Resolved by Nonstandard Analysis
An anomaly in circuit theory is the disappearance of some of the stored energy when two capacitors, one charged and the other uncharged, are connected together through resistanceless wires. Nonstandard analysis shows that, when the wires are taken to have infinitesimally small but nonzero resistance, the energy dissipated in the wires equals that substantial amount of energy that had disappeare...
متن کاملThe Effect of Grammar vs. Vocabulary Pre-teaching on EFL Learners’ Reading Comprehension: A Schema-Theoretic View of Reading
This study was designed to investigate the effect of grammar and vocabulary pre-teaching, as two types of pre-reading activities, on the Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension from a schema–theoretic perspective. The sample consisted of 90 female students studying at pre-university centers of Isfahan. The subjects were randomly divided into three equal-in-number groups. They participated ...
متن کاملA Nonstandard Approach to Real Multiplication
This paper looks at the use of Model Theoretic ideas to study certain non-Hausdorff spaces with a view to their application in Manin’s proposed theory of Real Multiplication, which seeks to establish a framework in which to prove Hilbert’s twelfth problem for real quadratic fields. We study morphisms between these non-Hausdorff spaces using Nonstandard Analysis, and as a consequece in certain s...
متن کاملNonstandard hulls of locally uniform groups
We present a nonstandard hull construction for locally uniform groups in a spirit similar to Luxembourg’s construction of the nonstandard hull of a uniform space. Our nonstandard hull is a local group rather than a global group. We investigate how this construction varies as one changes the family of pseudometrics used to construct the hull. We use the nonstandard hull construction to give a no...
متن کاملOn the Ordering of the Nonstandard Real Line
We investigate order-theoretic properties of the nonstandard real line, by isolating the basic order-types involved, and the possible relations among them. We focus on order-isomorphisms between the infinitesimals, the infinites, and the whole hyperreal line. We also compute the main cardinal invariants of the order-topology of the nonstandard real line.
