Homomorphisms on Infinite Direct Products of Groups, Rings and Monoids
نویسنده
چکیده
We study properties of a group, abelian group, ring, or monoid B which (a) guarantee that every homomorphism from an infinite direct product ∏ I Ai of objects of the same sort onto B factors through the direct product of finitely many ultraproducts of the Ai (possibly after composition with the natural map B → B/Z(B) or some variant), and/or (b) guarantee that when a map does so factor (and the index set has reasonable cardinality), the ultrafilters involved must be principal. A number of open questions and topics for further investigation are noted.

This is a continuation of the paper by the same author published in this journal, v. 19 (2007), no. 6. This paper is a continuation of the paper [4] and makes a whole with it. We retain the notation, the definitions, and the assumptions of [4], and we continue the numeration of sections, theorems and lemmas. The proofs of Theorems 2–4 in §6 of [4] were in fact missing; it was said only that one...
متن کاملMonoid generalizations of the Richard Thompson groups
The groups Gk,1 of Richard Thompson and Graham Higman can be generalized in a natural way to monoids, that we call Mk,1, and to inverse monoids, called Invk,1; this is done by simply generalizing bijections to partial functions or partial injective functions. The monoids Mk,1 have connections with circuit complexity (studied in another paper). Here we prove that Mk,1 and Invk,1 are congruence-s...
متن کاملLifting Defects for Nonstable K0-theory of Exchange Rings and C*-algebras
The assignment (nonstable K0-theory), that to a ring R associates the monoid V(R) of Murray-von Neumann equivalence classes of idempotent infinite matrices with only finitely nonzero entries over R, extends naturally to a functor. We prove the following lifting properties of that functor: (i) There is no functor Γ, from simplicial monoids with order-unit with normalized positive homomorphisms t...
متن کاملSome Algebraic Applications of Graded Categorical Group Theory
The homotopy classification of graded categorical groups and their homomorphisms is applied, in this paper, to obtain appropriate treatments for diverse crossed product constructions with operators which appear in several algebraic contexts. Precise classification theorems are therefore stated for equivariant extensions by groups either of monoids, or groups, or rings, or rings-groups or algebr...
متن کاملDistortion functions and the membership problem for submonoids of groups and monoids
The notion of upper distortion for graded submonoids embedded in groups and monoids is introduced. A finitely generated monoid M is graded if every element of M can be written in only finitely many ways in terms of some fixed system of generators. Examples of such monoids are free monoids, Artin monoids, and monoids satisfying certain small cancellation conditions. Whenever such a monoid is emb...
