Group laws and free subgroups in topological groups
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that a permutation group in which different finite sets have different stabilizers cannot satisfy any group law. For locally compact topological groups with this property we show that almost all finite subsets of the group generate free subgroups. We derive consequences of these theorems on Thompson’s group F , weakly branch groups, automorphism groups of regular trees and profinite groups with alternating composition factors of unbounded degree.

Internal Topology on MI-groups
An MI-group is an algebraic structure based on a generalization of the concept of a monoid that satisfies the cancellation laws and is endowed with an invertible anti-automorphism representing inversion. In this paper, a topology is defined on an MI-group $G$ under which $G$ is a topological MI-group. Then we will identify open, discrete and compact MI-subgroups. The connected components of th...
متن کاملSOLVABILITY OF FREE PRODUCTS, CAYLEY GRAPHS AND COMPLEXES
In this paper, we verify the solvability of free product of finite cyclic groups with topological methods. We use Cayley graphs and Everitt methods to construct suitable 2-complexes corresponding to the presentations of groups and their commutator subgroups. In particular, using these methods, we prove that the commutator subgroup of $mathbb{Z}_{m}*mathbb{Z}_{n}$ is free of rank $(m-1)(n-1)$ fo...
متن کاملSome Nonprojective Subgroups of Free Topological Groups
For the free topological group on an interval [a, b] a family of closed, locally path-connected subgroups is given such that each group is not projective and so not free topological. Simplicial methods are used, and the test for nonprojectivity is nonfreeness of the group of path components. Similar results are given for the abelian case. Introduction. Let F(X) be the free topological group on ...
متن کاملLattice of compactifications of a topological group
We show that the lattice of compactifications of a topological group $G$ is a complete lattice which is isomorphic to the lattice of all closed normal subgroups of the Bohr compactification $bG$ of $G$. The correspondence defines a contravariant functor from the category of topological groups to the category of complete lattices. Some properties of the compactification lattice of a topological ...
متن کامل6 Hall ’ s Theorem for Limit Groups
A celebrated theorem of Marshall Hall implies that finitely generated free groups are subgroup separable and that all of their finitely generated subgroups are retracts of finite-index subgroups. We use topological techniques inspired by the work of Stallings to prove that all limit groups share these two properties. This answers a question of Sela and provides a purely topological proof that f...
