چکیده
The just non-(virtually abelian) groups with non-trivial Fitting subgroup are classified. Particular attention is given to those which are virtually nilpotent and examples are given of the interesting phenomena that can occur.

Uniform Growth in Groups of Exponential Growth
This is an exposition of examples and classes of finitely-generated groups which have uniform exponential growth. The main examples are non-Abelian free groups, semi-direct products of free Abelian groups with automorphisms having an eigenvalue of modulus distinct from 1, and Golod–Shafarevich infinite finitely-generated p-groups. The classes include groups which virtually have non-Abelian free...
متن کاملPontryagin duality in the class of precompact Abelian groups and the Baire property
We present a wide class of reflexive, precompact, non-compact, Abelian topological groupsG determined by three requirements. They must have the Baire property, satisfy the open refinement condition, and contain no infinite compact subsets. This combination of properties guarantees that all compact subsets of the dual group G are finite. We also show that many (non-reflexive) precompact Abelian ...
متن کاملR-sequenceability and R*-sequenceability of abelian 2-groups
A group of order n is said to be R-sequenceable if the nonidentity elements of the group can be listed in a sequence a,, a,, . . . , a,_ 1 such that the quotients a; ‘az, a; ’ a3, . , a;?,a,_ r, a.-_‘,a, are distinct. An abelian group is R*-sequenceable if it has an R-sequencing a,, a,, . . , a,, _ 1 such that a,_ ra, + r = ai for some i (subscripts are read modulo n 1). Friedlander, Gordon and...
متن کاملOn Supersimple Groups
An infinite group with supersimple theory has a finite series of definable groups whose factors are infinite and either virtually-FC or virtuallysimple modulo a finite FC-centre. We deduce that a group which is typedefinable in a supersimple theory has a finite series of relatively definable groups whose factors are either abelian or simple groups. In this decomposition, the non-abelian simple ...
متن کاملJacobians with Complex Multiplication
We construct and study two series of curves whose Jacobians admit complex multiplication. The curves arise as quotients of Galois coverings of the projective line with Galois group metacyclic groups Gq,3 of order 3q with q ≡ 1 mod 3 an odd prime, and Gm of order 2 . The complex multiplications arise as quotients of double coset algebras of the Galois groups of these coverings. We work out the C...
