چکیده
We discuss distortion of solvable linear groups over a locally compact field and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a subgroup to be undistorted when the field is of characteristic zero.

On Dehn Functions of Amalgamations and Strongly Undistorted Subgroups
We study the Dehn functions of amalgamations, introducing the notion of strongly undistorted subgroups. Using this, we give conditions under which taking an amalgamation does not increase the Dehn function, generalizing one aspect of the combination theorem of Bestvina and Feighn. To obtain examples of strongly undistorted subgroups, we define and study the relative Dehn function of pairs of gr...
متن کاملSome connections between powers of conjugacy classes and degrees of irreducible characters in solvable groups
Let $G$ be a finite group. We say that the derived covering number of $G$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $C^n=G'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $C$ of $G$. In this paper we characterize solvable groups $G$ in which the derived covering number is finite.
متن کاملInfra-Solvmanifolds and Rigidity of Subgroups in Solvable Linear Algebraic Groups
We give a new proof that compact infra-solvmanifolds with isomorphic fundamental groups are smoothly diffeomorphic. More generally, we prove rigidity results for manifolds which are constructed using affine actions of virtually polycyclic groups on solvable Lie groups. Our results are derived from rigidity properties of subgroups in solvable linear algebraic groups.
متن کاملNILPOTENCY AND SOLUBILITY OF GROUPS RELATIVE TO AN AUTOMORPHISM
In this paper we introduce the concept of α-commutator which its definition is based on generalized conjugate classes. With this notion, α-nilpotent groups, α-solvable groups, nilpotency and solvability of groups related to the automorphism are defined. N(G) and S(G) are the set of all nilpotency classes and the set of all solvability classes for the group G with respect to different automorphi...
متن کاملSeparability of Solvable Subgroups in Linear Groups
Let Γ be a finitely generated linear group over a field of characteristic 0. Suppose that every solvable subgroup of Γ is polycyclic. Then any solvable subgroup of Γ is separable. This conclusion is false without the hypothesis that every solvable subgroup of Γ is polycyclic.
