Free Actions of Finite Groups on S × S

چکیده

Let p be an odd prime. We construct a non-abelian extension Γ of S1 by Z/p × Z/p, and prove that any finite subgroup of Γ acts freely and smoothly on S2p−1 × S2p−1. In particular, for each odd prime p we obtain free smooth actions of infinitely many non-metacyclic rank two p-groups on S2p−1 × S2p−1. These results arise from a general approach to the existence problem for finite group actions on products of equidimensional spheres.

Examples of Free Actions on Products of Spheres

We construct a non-abelian extension Γ of S by Z/3 × Z/3, and prove that Γ acts freely and smoothly on S × S. This gives new actions on S × S for an infinite family P of finite 3-groups. We also show that any finite odd order subgroup of the exceptional Lie group G2 admits a free smooth action on S × S. This gives new actions on S×S for an infinite family E of finite groups. We explain the sign...

ON THE GROUPS WITH THE PARTICULAR NON-COMMUTING GRAPHS

Let $G$ be a non-abelian finite group. In this paper, we prove that $Gamma(G)$ is $K_4$-free if and only if $G cong A times P$, where $A$ is an abelian group, $P$ is a $2$-group and $G/Z(G) cong mathbb{ Z}_2 times mathbb{Z}_2$. Also, we show that $Gamma(G)$ is $K_{1,3}$-free if and only if $G cong {mathbb{S}}_3,~D_8$ or $Q_8$.

The influence of S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups

Let H be a subgroup of a group G. H is said to be S-embedded in G if G has a normal T such that HT is an S-permutable subgroup of G and H ∩ T ≤ H sG, where H denotes the subgroup generated by all those subgroups of H which are S-permutable in G. In this paper, we investigate the influence of minimal S-embedded subgroups on the structure of finite groups. We determine the structure the finite grou...

A radical extension of the category of $S$-sets

Let S-Set be the category of $S$-sets, sets together with the actions of a semigroup $S$ on them. And, let S-Pos be the category of $S$-posets, posets together with the actions compatible with the orders on them. In this paper we show that the category S-Pos is a radical extension of S-Set; that is there is a radical on the category S-Pos, the order desolator radical, whose torsion-free class i...

Actions of a separately strict cpo-monoid on pointed directed complete posets

‎ In the present article‎, ‎we study some categorical properties of the category {$bf‎ Cpo_{Sep}$-$S$} of all {separately strict $S$-cpo's}; cpo's equipped with‎ a compatible right action of a separately strict cpo-monoid $S$ which is‎ strict continuous in each component‎. ‎In particular‎, we show that this category is reflective and coreflective in the‎ category of $S$-cpo's‎, ‎find the free a...
