Malcev presentations for subsemigroups of direct products of coherent groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The direct product of a free group and a polycyclic group is known to be coherent. This paper shows that every finitely generated subsemigroup of the direct product of a virtually free group and an abelian group admits a finite Malcev presentation. (A Malcev presentation is a presentation of a special type for a semigroup that embeds into a group. A group is virtually free if it contains a free subgroup of finite index.) By considering the direct product of two free semigroups, it is also shown that polycyclic groups, unlike nilpotent groups, can contain finitely generated subsemigroups that do not admit finite Malcev presentations.

Presentations for Subsemigroups of Groups
This thesis studies subsemigroups of groups from three perspectives: automatic structures, ordinary semigroup presentations, and Malcev presentaions. [A Malcev presentation is a presentation of a special type for a semigroup that can be embedded into a group. A group-embeddable semigroup is Malcev coherent if all of its finitely generated subsemigroups admit finite Malcev presentations.] The th...

This paper introduces and surveys the theory of Malcev presentations. [Malcev presentations are a species of presentation that can be used to define any semigroup that can be embedded into a group.] In particular, various classes of groups and monoids all of whose finitely generated subsemigroups admit finite Malcev presentations are described; closure and containment results are stated; links ...
متن کاملAutomatic structures for subsemigroups of Baumslag–Solitar semigroups
This paper studies automatic structures for subsemigroups of Baumslag–Solitar semigroups (that is, semigroups presented by ⟨x, y | (yx, xy)⟩ where m,n ∈ N). A geometric argument (a rarity in the field of automatic semigroups) is used to show that if m > n, all of the finitely generated subsemigroups of this semigroup are [right-] automatic. If m < n, all of its finitely generated subsemigroups ...
متن کامل20 08 Lie Algebras with S 3 or S 4 - Action , and Generalized
Lie algebras endowed with an action by automorphisms of any of the symmetric groups S3 or S4 are considered, and their decomposition into a direct sum of irreducible modules for the given action is studied. In case of S3-symmetry, the Lie algebras are coordinatized by some nonassociative systems, which are termed generalized Malcev algebras, as they extend the classical Malcev algebras. These s...
متن کاملOn the Malcev Completion of Kähler Groups
The study of compact Kähler manifolds made by Hodge and others shows that a Kähler structure imposes very strong conditions on the homotopy type of a compact complex manifold X . In particular, unlike in the case of compact differentiable or closed complex manifolds, not every finitely presented group G is the fundamental group of a compact Kähler manifold. Such groups are called Kähler groups....
