چکیده

Let G and E stand for one of the following pairs of groups: • Either G is the general quadratic group U(2n, R,Λ), n ≥ 3, and E its elementary subgroup EU(2n, R,Λ), for an almost commutative form ring (R,Λ), • or G is the Chevalley group G(Φ, R) of type Φ, and E its elementary subgroup E(Φ, R), where Φ is a reduced irreducible root system of rank ≥ 2 and R is commutative. Using Bak’s localization-completion method in [7], it was shown in [18] and [19] that G/E is nilpotent by abelian, when R has finite Bass–Serre dimension. In this note, we combine localization-completion with a version of Stein’s relativization [34], which is applicable to our situation [11], and carry over the results in [18] and [19] to the relative case. In other words, we prove that not only absolute K1 functors, but also the relative K1 functors, are nilpotent by abelian.

The structure of a pair of nilpotent Lie algebras

Assume that $(N,L)$, is a pair of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras, in which $L$ is non-abelian and $N$ is an ideal in $L$ and also $mathcal{M}(N,L)$ is the Schur multiplier of the pair $(N,L)$. Motivated by characterization of the pairs $(N,L)$ of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras by their Schur multipliers (Arabyani, et al. 2014) we prove some properties of a pair of nilpoten...

Elementary Equivalence and Profinite Completions: a Characterization of Finitely Generated Abelian-by-finite Groups

In this paper, we show that any finitely generated abelian-byfinite group is an elementary submodel of its profinite completion. It follows that two finitely generated abelian-by-finite groups are elementarily equivalent if and only if they have the same finite images. We give an example of two finitely generated abelian-by-finite groups G, H which satisfy these properties while G x Z and H x Z...

Metabelian Product of a Free Nilpotent Group with a Free Abelian Group

In the variety of all groups, A. I. Mal’cev [5] proved in 1949 that the free product of two residually torsion-free nilpotent groups is again residually torsion-free nilpotent. This paper is motivated by the analogous question in the variety of metabelian groups: can we determine whether free metabelian products of residually torsion-free nilpotent metabelian groups are residually torsion-free ...

Relative Completions and the Cohomology of Linear Groups over Local Rings

For a discrete group G there are two well-known completions. The first is the Malcev (or unipotent) completion. This is a prounipotent group U , defined over Q, together with a homomorphism ψ : G → U that is universal among maps from G into prounipotent Q-groups. To construct U , it suffices to consider the case where G is nilpotent; the general case is handled by taking the inverse limit of th...

On the Exponent of Triple Tensor Product of p-Groups

The non-abelian tensor product of groups which has its origins in algebraic K-theory as well as inhomotopy theory, was introduced by Brown and Loday in 1987. Group theoretical aspects of non-abelian tensor products have been studied extensively. In particular, some studies focused on the relationship between the exponent of a group and exponent of its tensor square. On the other hand, com...
