On Centralizers of Elements of Groups Acting on Trees with Inversions

چکیده
A subgroup H of a group G is called malnormal in G if it satisfies the condition that if g ∈G and h∈H, h≠ 1 such that ghg−1 ∈H, then g ∈H. In this paper, we show that if G is a group acting on a tree X with inversions such that each edge stabilizer is malnormal in G, then the centralizer C(g) of each nontrivial element g of G is in a vertex stabilizer if g is in that vertex stabilizer. If g is not in any vertex stabilizer, then C(g) is an infinite cyclic if g does not transfer an edge of X to its inverse. Otherwise, C(g) is a finite cyclic of order 2.

ON QUASI UNIVERSAL COVERS FOR GROUPS ACTING ON TREES WITH INVERSIONS
Abstract. In this paper we show that if G is a group acting on a tree X with inversions and if (T Y ) is a fundamental domain for the action of G on X, then there exist a group &tildeG and a tree &tildeX induced by (T Y ) such that &tildeG acts on &tildeX with inversions, G is isomorphic to &tilde G, and X is isomorphic to &tildeX. The pair (&tilde G &tildeX) is called the quasi universal cover...
متن کاملFinite groups have even more centralizers
For a finite group $G$, let $Cent(G)$ denote the set of centralizers of single elements of $G$. In this note we prove that if $|G|leq frac{3}{2}|Cent(G)|$ and $G$ is 2-nilpotent, then $Gcong S_3, D_{10}$ or $S_3times S_3$. This result gives a partial and positive answer to a conjecture raised by A. R. Ashrafi [On finite groups with a given number of centralizers, Algebra Collo...
متن کاملOn solubility of groups with finitely many centralizers
For any group G, let C(G) denote the set of centralizers of G.We say that a group G has n centralizers (G is a Cn-group) if |C(G)| = n.In this note, we prove that every finite Cn-group with n ≤ 21 is soluble andthis estimate is sharp. Moreover, we prove that every finite Cn-group with|G| < 30n+1519 is non-nilpotent soluble. This result gives a partial answer to aconjecture raised by A. Ashrafi in ...
متن کاملOn fibers and accessibility of groups acting on trees with inversions
Throughout this paper the actions of groups on graphs with inversions are allowed. An element g of a group G is called inverter if there exists a tree X where G acts such that g transfers an edge of X into its inverse. A group G is called accessible if G is finitely generated and there exists a tree on which G acts such that each edge group is finite, no vertex is stabilized by G, and each vert...
متن کاملA Splitting Theorem for Groups Acting on Quasi-trees
It is well known that a group is free if and only if it acts freely without inversions on a tree. We prove a generalisation of this fact by deening a quasi-tree to be a graph with a bound on the size of its simple loops. It is shown that a nitely generated group acting freely on such a graph is isomorphic to a free product of free groups and nite groups.
