چکیده

An element d of a semigroup S is called divisible if it has roots of arbitrary order; that is, for every n ∈ N there is an element dn in S such that dn = d . If the elements dn can be taken in a prescribed subset D of S then d is said to be divisible in D . In the algebraic as well as in the topological theory of groups and semigroups divisibility is the major basic concept which allows the introduction of a linear structure by defining an exponential function: If an element is divisible then there is usually a good chance to find a (rational or, by continuous extension, real) one-parameter semigroup passing through it; combining ‘sufficiently many’ such one-parameter semigroups gives rise to an exponential function. The solution of Hilbert’s fifth problem and the theory of divisible compact topological semigroups are familiar examples for the successfull application of these ideas.

Some finite groups with divisibility graph containing no triangles

Let $G$ be a finite group. The graph $D(G)$ is a divisibility graph of $G$. Its vertex set is the non-central conjugacy class sizes of $G$ and there is an edge between vertices $a$ and $b$ if and only if $a|b$ or $b|a$. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the divisibility graph $D(G)$ for a non-solvable group with $sigma^{ast}(G)=2$, a finite simple group $G$ that satisfies the one-p...

non-divisibility for abelian groups

Throughout all groups are abelian. We say a group G is n-divisible if nG = G. If G has no non-zero n-divisible subgroups for all n>1 then we say that G is absolutely non-divisible. In the study of class C consisting   all absolutely non-divisible groups such as G, we come across the sub groups T_p(G) = the sum of all p-divisible subgroups and rad_p(G) = the intersection of all p^nG. The proper...

Historical Links to a Lie Theory of Semigroups

In the past fteen years there has emerged a substantial body of mathematics that one might appropriately refer to as a Lie theory of semigroups. In the narrowest sense, such a theory is concerned with the structure of subsemigroups of Lie groups, particularly those subsemigroups that are in an appropriate sense \innnitesimally generated," that is, are determined by a subtangent object in the Li...
