The Proalgebraic Completion of Rigid Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
A finitely generated group G is called representation rigid (briefly, rigid) if for every n, G has only finitely many classes of simple C representations in dimension n. Examples include higher rank S-arithmetic groups. By Margulis super rigidity, the latter have a stronger property: they are representation super rigid; i.e., their proalgebraic completion is finite dimensional. We construct examples of nonlinear rigid groups which are not super rigid, and which exhibit every possible type of infinite dimensionality. Whether linear representation rigid groups are super rigid remains an open question. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 20F65.

RELATIVE COMPLETIONS OF LINEAR GROUPS OVER Z [ t ] AND Z [ t , t − 1 ]
We compute the completion of the groups SLn(Z[t]) and SLn(Z[t, t ]) relative to the obvious homomorphisms to SLn(Q); this is a generalization of the classical Malcev completion. We also make partial computations of the rational second cohomology of these groups. The Malcev (or Q-) completion of a group Γ is a prounipotent group P defined over Q together with a homomorphism φ : Γ → P satisfying ...
متن کاملRelative Completions and the Cohomology of Linear Groups over Local Rings
For a discrete group G there are two well-known completions. The first is the Malcev (or unipotent) completion. This is a prounipotent group U , defined over Q, together with a homomorphism ψ : G → U that is universal among maps from G into prounipotent Q-groups. To construct U , it suffices to consider the case where G is nilpotent; the general case is handled by taking the inverse limit of th...
متن کاملOn Two Methods for Computing the Non-Rigid Group of Molecules
In this paper, two methods are described, by means of which it is possible to calculate the non rigid group of molecules consisting of a number of XH3 groups attached to a rigid framework. The first method is a combination of the wreath product formalism of Balasubramanian and modern computer algebra and the second method is a computational approach by using group theory package GAP. We apply t...
متن کاملGroups of tree-expanded series
In [5, 6] we introduced three Hopf algebras on planar binary trees related to the renormalization of quantum electrodynamics. One of them, the algebra H, is commutative, and is therefore the ring of coordinate functions of a proalgebraic group G. The other two algebras, H and H , are free non-commutative. Therefore their abelian quotients are the coordinate rings of two proalgebraic groups G an...
