چکیده
On the Automorphism Tower of Free Nilpotent Groups Martin Dimitrov Kassabov 2003 In this thesis I study the automorphism tower of free nilpo-tent groups. Our main tool in studying the automorphism tower is to embed every group as a lattice in some Lie group. Using known rigidity results the automorphism group of the discrete group can be embedded into the automorphism group of the Lie group. This allows me to lift the description of the derivation tower of the free nilpotent Lie algebra to obtain information about the automorphism tower of the free nilpotent group. The main result in this thesis states that the automorphism tower of the free nilpotent group Γ(n, d) on n generators and nilpotency class d, stabilizes after finitely many steps. If the nilpotency class is small compared to the number of generators we have that the height of the automorphism tower is at most 3.

Infinitely Generated Free Nilpotent Groups: Completeness of the Automorphism Groups
Baumslag conjectured in the 1970s that the automorphism tower of a finitely generated free group (free nilpotent group) must be very short. Dyer and Formanek [9] justified the conjecture concerning finitely generated free groups in the “sharpest sense” by proving that the automorphism group Aut(Fn) of a non-abelian free group Fn of finite rank n is complete. Recall that a group G is said to be ...
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 کاملFree Two-step Nilpotent Groups Whose Automorphism Group Is Complete
Dyer and Formanek (1976) proved that if N is a free nilpotent group of class two and of rank 6= 1, 3, then the automorphism group Aut(N) of N is complete. The main result of this paper states that the automorphism group of an infinitely generated free nilpotent group of class two is also complete.
متن کاملPseudocomplete Nilpotent Groups
Scmicomplctc nilpotcnt groups, that is, nilpotent groups with no outer automorphisms, have been of interest for many years. In this paper pscudocomplete nilpotent groups, that is, nilpotent groups in which the automorphism group and the inner automorphism group arc isomorphic (not equal), are constructed. When suitable conditions are placed on the pseudocomplete nilpotent group, the quotient of...
متن کاملScaled Relators and Dehn Functions for Nilpotent Groups
A homogeneous nilpotent Lie group has a scaling automorphism determined by a grading of its Lie algebra. Many proofs of upper bounds for the Dehn function of such a group depend on being able to fill curves with discs compatible with this grading; the area of such discs changes predictably under the scaling automorphism. In this paper, we present combinatorial methods for finding such bounds. U...
