چکیده

Let S be a nite nonabelian simple group, and let H be a subgroup of S. In this work, the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of H in S in Var(S) is determined, generalizing an example of B.H. Neumann. A necessary and suucient condition for H to be epimorphically embedded in S is obtained. These results are then extended to a variety generated by a family of nite nonabelian simple groups. An epimorphism in a given category C is deened to be a right cancellable function. That is, given C , a map f: A ! B in C is an epimorphisms if and only if for every object C 2 C , and every pair of maps g; h: B ! C , if g f = h f then g = h. In many familiar categories, such as Group, being an epimorphism is equivalent to being a surjective map (for a proof of this, see 9]). On the other hand, this is not the case in other familiar categories. For example, in the category of rings, the embedding Z, ! Q is an epimorphisms, even though it is not surjective. Isbell 4] has introduced the concept of dominion to study epimorphisms in categories of algebras (in the sense of Universal Algebra). Recall that given a full subcategory C of the category of all algebras of a given type, and A 2 C with a subalgebra B of A, we deene the dominion of B in A in the category C to be the intersection of all equalizer subalgebras of A containing B. Explicity, dom C A (B) = n a 2 A 8C 2 C; 8f; g: A ! C; if fj B = gj B then f(a) = g(a) o : It is clear that B is epimorphically embedded in A (in the category C) if and only if dom C A (B) = A. If dom C A (B) = B, we will say that the dominion of B in A is trivial (meaning it is as small as possible), and we will say it is nontrivial otherwise. As Isbell notes, an arbitrary morphism f: A 0 ! A of algebras may be factored as a surjection onto f(A 0) followed by the embedding of f(A 0) into A. The surjection A 0 7 ! f(A 0) is well understood in terms of congruences, and …

Let S be a finite nonabelian simple group, and let H be a subgroup of S . In this work, the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of H in S in Var(S) is determined, generalizing an example of B.H. Neumann. A necessary and sufficient condition for H to be epimorphically embedded in S is obtained. These results are then extended to a variety generated by a family of finite nonabelian simple groups. S...

Dominions in decomposable varieties

Dominions, in the sense of Isbell, are investigated in the context of decomposable varieties of groups. An upper and lower bound for dominions in such a variety is given in terms of the two varietal factors, and the internal structure of the group being analyzed. Finally, the following result is established: If a variety N has instances of nontrivial dominions, then for any proper subvariety Q ...
