In his paper mentioned in the title, which appears in the same issue of this journal, Mehdi Radjabalipour derives the cyclic decomposition of an algebraic linear transformation. A more general structure theory for linear transformations appears in Irving Kaplansky's lovely 1954 book on infinite abelian groups. We present a translation of Kaplansky's results for abelian groups into the terminolo...

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian $p$-group and $L(G)$ denotes the absolute center of $G$. Also, let $Aut^{L}(G)$ and $Aut_c(G)$ denote the group of all absolute central and the class preserving automorphisms of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $G$ such that $Aut_c(G)=Aut^{L}(G)$. We also characterize all finite non-abelian $p$-groups of order $p^...

We perform lattice Monte-Carlo simulations of pure SU(2) QCD using the multi-level method. We find Abelian dominance in local unitary gauges such as those diagonalizing a plaquette. A static potential described by Abelian link fields alone gives us the same string tension as that of a non-Abelian potential. Abelian dominance of the string tension and Abelian flux tube profiles are observed also...

a $p$-group $g$ is $p$-central if $g^{p}le z(g)$‎, ‎and $g$ is‎ ‎$p^{2}$-abelian if $(xy)^{p^{2}}=x^{p^{2}}y^{p^{2}}$ for all $x,yin‎ ‎g$‎. ‎we prove that for $g$ a finite $p^{2}$-abelian $p$-central ‎$p$-group‎, ‎excluding certain cases‎, ‎the order of $g$ divides the ‎order of $text{aut}(g)$‎.

given a non-abelian finite group $g$, let $pi(g)$ denote the set of prime divisors of the order of $g$ and denote by $z(g)$ the center of $g$. thetextit{ prime graph} of $g$ is the graph with vertex set $pi(g)$ where two distinct primes $p$ and $q$ are joined by an edge if and only if $g$ contains an element of order $pq$ and the textit{non-commuting graph} of $g$ is the graph with the vertex s...

in this paper, we consider the finitely presented groups $g_{m}$ and $k(s,l)$ as follows;$$g_{m}=langle a,b| a^m=b^m=1,~[a,b]^a=[a,b],~[a,b]^b=[a,b]rangle $$$$k(s,l)=langle a,b|ab^s=b^la,~ba^s=a^lbrangle;$$and find the $n^{th}$-commutativity degree for each of them. also we study the concept of $n$-abelianity on these groups, where $m,n,s$ and $l$ are positive integers, $m,ngeq 2$ and $g.c.d(s,...

‎let $g$ be a group and $a=aut(g)$ be the group of automorphisms of‎ ‎$g$‎. ‎then the element $[g,alpha]=g^{-1}alpha(g)$ is an‎ ‎autocommutator of $gin g$ and $alphain a$‎. ‎also‎, ‎the‎ autocommutator subgroup of g is defined to be‎ ‎$k(g)=langle[g,alpha]|gin g‎, ‎alphain arangle$‎, ‎which is a‎ ‎characteristic subgroup of $g$ containing the derived subgroup‎ ‎$g'$ of $g$‎. ‎a group is defined...

We say that two finite words u and v are abelian equivalent if and only if they have the same number of occurrences of each letter, or equivalently if they define the same Parikh vector. In this paper we investigate various abelian properties of words including abelian complexity, and abelian powers. We study the abelian complexity of the Thue-Morse word and the Tribonacci word, and answer an o...
