It is shown that the the maximal torus normalizer determines the p-compact group PU(p) and its automorphisms. This leads to homotopy uniqueness results for PU(p) and related p-compact groups and to a novel construction of unstable Adams operations.

The Dade group D(P ) of a finite p-group P , formed by equivalence classes of endopermutation modules, is a finitely generated abelian group. Its torsion-free rank equals the number of conjugacy classes of non-cyclic subgroups of P and it is conjectured that every nontrivial element of its torsion subgroup D(P ) has order 2, (or also 4, in case p = 2). The group D(P ) is closely related to the ...

Let G be an abelian p-group sum of finite homocyclic groups Gi. Here, we determine in which cases the automorphism group of G splits over kerσ, where σ :Aut(G) → ∏ iAut(Gi/pGi) is the natural epimorphism. 1. Preliminaries Throghout this paper, p is an arbitrary prime and r is a fixed ordinal number. Let G = ⊕i≤rGi be an abelian p-group, such that Gi is an homocyclic group of exponent pi and fin...

In comparison to explicit learning, implicit learning is hypothesized to be a phylogenetically older form of learning that is important in early developmental processes (e.g., natural language acquisition, socialization)and relatively impervious to individual differences in age and IQ. We examined implicit learning in a group of children and adults (9.49 years of age)with Williams syndrome (WS)...

The notion of p-compact group [10] is a homotopy theoretic version of the geometric or analytic notion of compact Lie group, although the homotopy theory differs from the geometry is that there are parallel theories of p-compact groups, one for each prime number p. A key feature of the theory of compact Lie groups is the relationship between centers and fundamental groups; these play off agains...

in this paper, we introduce and study the notion of precompacttopological generalized groups and some new results are given.
