AN ANALOGUE OF THE TORUS DECOMPOSITION THEOREM FOR CERTAIN POINCARfi DUALITY GROUPS
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that Poincare* duality groups which satisfy the maximal condition on centralisers have a canonical decomposition as the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups in which the edge groups are polycyclic-by-finite. The results give useful information only when there are large polycyclic subgroups. Since 3-manifolds groups satisfy Max-c, the results provide a purely grouptheoretic proof of the Torus Decomposion Theorem. In general, fundamental groups of closed aspherical manifolds satisfy Poincare" duality and in fact many of the known examples satisfy Max-c. Thus the results provide a new approach to aspherical manifolds of higher dimensions.

Annulus-Torus decompositions for Poincaré duality pairs
There are several algebraic analogues of the JSJ–decomposition of a 3–manifold, one of which was described by the authors. We study this analogue in the special case of Poincaré duality pairs. Introduction In [23], we obtained canonical decompositions for almost finitely presented groups analogous to the JSJ–decomposition of a 3–manifold. In particular, for many almost finitely presented groups...
متن کاملExamples of non-quasicommutative semigroups decomposed into unions of groups
Decomposability of an algebraic structure into the union of its sub-structures goes back to G. Scorza's Theorem of 1926 for groups. An analogue of this theorem for rings has been recently studied by A. Lucchini in 2012. On the study of this problem for non-group semigroups, the first attempt is due to Clifford's work of 1961 for the regular semigroups. Since then, N.P. Mukherjee in 1972 studied...
متن کاملWEAK APPROXIMATION FOR TORI OVER p-ADIC FUNCTION FIELDS
We study local-global questions for Galois cohomology over the function field of a curve defined over a p-adic field, the main focus being weak approximation of rational points. We construct a 9-term Poitou–Tate type exact sequence for tori over a field as above (and also a 12-term sequence for finite modules). Like in the number field case, part of the sequence can then be used to analyze the ...
متن کاملSOME PROPERTIES FOR FUZZY CHANCE CONSTRAINED PROGRAMMING
Convexity theory and duality theory are important issues in math- ematical programming. Within the framework of credibility theory, this paper rst introduces the concept of convex fuzzy variables and some basic criteria. Furthermore, a convexity theorem for fuzzy chance constrained programming is proved by adding some convexity conditions on the objective and constraint functions. Finally,...
متن کاملThe Basic Theorem and its Consequences
Let T be a compact Hausdorff topological space and let M denote an n–dimensional subspace of the space C(T ), the space of real–valued continuous functions on T and let the space be equipped with the uniform norm. Zukhovitskii [7] attributes the Basic Theorem to E.Ya.Remez and gives a proof by duality. He also gives a proof due to Shnirel’man, which uses Helly’s Theorem, now the paper obtains a...
