Group Actions and Group Extensions

چکیده
In this paper we study finite group extensions represented by special cohomology classes. As an application, we obtain some restrictions on finite groups which can act freely on a product of spheres or on a product of real projective spaces. In particular, we prove that if (Z/p)r acts freely on (S1)k , then r ≤ k.

On component extensions locally compact abelian groups
Let $pounds$ be the category of locally compact abelian groups and $A,Cin pounds$. In this paper, we define component extensions of $A$ by $C$ and show that the set of all component extensions of $A$ by $C$ forms a subgroup of $Ext(C,A)$ whenever $A$ is a connected group. We establish conditions under which the component extensions split and determine LCA groups which are component projective. ...
متن کاملExtendibility of Ergodic Actions of Abelian Groups on a Measure Space
Let E be a group extension of an abelian l.c.s.c. group A by an amenable l.c.s.c. group G. We say that an ergodic action V of A is extendible to an action W of E if V (A) is isomorphic to W (A). It turns out that the extendibility property can be described in terms of cocycles over a skew product taking values in A. For topologically trivial group extensions E(G,A), we prove that the extendibil...
متن کاملActions of the face monoid associated to a Kac-Moody group on its building
We described in [7] a monoid b G acting on the integrable highest weight modules of a symmetrizable Kac-Moody algebra. It has similar structural properties as a reductive algebraic monoid with unit group a Kac-Moody group G. Now we find natural extensions of the action of the Kac-Moody group G on its building Ω to actions of the monoid b G on Ω. These extensions are partly motivated by represen...
متن کاملTwisted Actions and Obstructions in Group Cohomology
This article is intended to answer the question “Why do you guys always want to twist everything?” We review the various ways in which twists, twisted actions and twisted crossed products arise, and then discuss some cohomological obstructions to the existence and triviality of twisted actions. Our review begins with the classical problems of classifying group extensions and irreducible unitary...
متن کاملExtensions of Regular Rings
Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity. An element $x in R$ is called $mathbb{Z}G$-regular (resp. strongly $mathbb{Z}G$-regular) if there exist $g in G$, $n in mathbb{Z}$ and $r in R$ such that $x^{ng}=x^{ng}rx^{ng}$ (resp. $x^{ng}=x^{(n+1)g}$). A ring $R$ is called $mathbb{Z}G$-regular (resp. strongly $mathbb{Z}G$-regular) if every element of $R$ is $mathbb{Z}G$-regular (resp. strongly $...
