Basic Subgroups and Freeness, a Counterexample
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a non-free but א1-separable, torsion-free abelian group G with a pure free subgroup B such that all subgroups of G disjoint from B are free and such that G/B is divisible. This answers a question of Irwin and shows that a theorem of Blass and Irwin cannot be strengthened so as to give an exact analog for torsion-free groups of a result proved for p-groups by Benabdallah and Irwin.

On (po-)torsion free and principally weakly (po-)flat $S$-posets
In this paper, we first consider (po-)torsion free and principally weakly (po-)flat $S$-posets, specifically we discuss when (po-)torsion freeness implies principal weak (po-)flatness. Furthermore, we give a counterexample to show that Theorem 3.22 of Shi is incorrect. Thereby we present a correct version of this theorem. Finally, we characterize pomonoids over which all cyclic $S$-posets are ...
متن کاملBounded Rank Subgroups of Coxeter Groups, Artin Groups and One-relator Groups with Torsion
We obtain a number of results regarding freeness, quasiconvexity and separability for subgroups of Coxeter groups, Artin groups and one-relator groups with torsion.
متن کاملThe Hanna Neumann Conjecture Is True When One Subgroup Has a Positive Generating Set
The Hanna Neumann conjecture states that if F is a free group, then for all finitely generated subgroups H,K 6 F , rank(H ∩ K) − 1 6 [rank(H)− 1] [rank(K)− 1] In this paper, we show that if one of the subgroups, say H , has a generating set consisting of only positive words, then H is not part of any counterexample to the conjecture. We further show that if H ≤ F2 is part of a counterexample to...
متن کاملConjugacy of Carter Subgroups in Groups of Finite Morley Rank
The Cherlin-Zil’ber Conjecture states that all simple groups of finite Morley rank are algebraic. We prove that any minimal counterexample to this conjecture has a unique conjugacy class of Carter subgroups, which are defined as being the definable connected nilpotent subgroups of finite index in their normalizers, and which are analogous to Cartan subgroups in algebraic
متن کاملMatroid Representations and Free Arrangements
We show that Terao's Conjecture ("Freeness of the module of logarithmic forms at a hyperplane arrangement is determined by its abstract matroid") holds over fields with at most four elements. However, an example demonstrates that the field characteristic has to be fixed for this. 1. Free arrangements The present study continues an investigation of the connection between algebraic and combinator...
