Der Satz von Tits für PGL2(R), R ein kommutativer Ring vom stabilen Rang 2

1996

Certain permutation groups on sets with distance relation are characterized as groups of projectivities PGL2(R) on the projective line over a commutative ring R of stable rank 2, thus generalizing a classical result of Tits where R is a field.

Generation of Certain Matrix Groups by Three Involutions, Two of Which Commute

1997

Ž . We say that a group is 2, 2 = 2 -generated if it can be generated by three involutions, two of which commute. The problem of determining Ž . which finite simple groups are 2, 2 = 2 -generated was posed by Mazurov w x in 1980 in the Kourovka notebook 3 . An answer to this problem, for some classes of finite simple groups, was given by Ya. N. Nuzhin, namely for w x Chevalley groups of rank 1 in 4 , for Chevalley groups over a field of w x characteristic 2 in 5 , and for the alternating groups and Chevalley groups w x of type A in 6 . In this paper we consider the problem in the more n general context of matrix groups over arbitrary, finitely generated, commutative rings. As a special case…

An Overview on Algebraic Structures

2016

This chapter recaps and formalizes concepts used in the previous sections of this book. Furthermore, this chapter reorganizes and describes in depth the topics mentioned at the end of Chap. 1, i.e. a formal characterization of the abstract algebraic structures and their hierarchy. This chapter is thus a revisited summary of concepts previously introduced and used and provides the mathematical basis for the following chapters.

The Theory of Normed Modules

2020

This chapter is devoted to the study of the so-called normed modules over metric measure spaces. These represent a tool that has been introduced by Gigli in order to build up a differential structure on nonsmooth spaces. In a few words, an \(L^2({{\mathfrak {m}}})\)-normed \(L^\infty ({{\mathfrak {m}}})\)-module is a generalisation of the concept of ‘space of 2-integrable sections of some measurable bundle’; it is an algebraic module over the commutative ring \(L^\infty ({{\mathfrak {m}}})\) that is additionally endowed with a pointwise norm operator. This notion, its basic properties and some of its technical variants constitute the topics of Sect. 3.1.

Finite Commutative Rings and Their Applications

2002

Finite Commutative Rings and their Applications is the first to address both theoretical and practical aspects of finite ring theory. The authors provide a practical approach to finite rings through explanatory examples, thereby avoiding an abstract presentation of the subject. The section on Quasi-Galois rings presents new and unpublished results as well. The authors then introduce some applications of finite rings, in particular Galois rings, to coding theory, using a solid algebraic and geometric theoretical background.
