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…
Automorphisms of the integral group ring of the hyperoctahedral group
1990
The purpose of this paper is to verify a conjecture of Zassenhaus [3] for hyperoctahedral groups by proving that every normalized automorphism () of ZG can be written in the form () = Tu 0 I where I is an automorphism of ZG obtained by extending an automorphism of G linearly to ZG and u is a unit of (JJG. A similar result was proved for symmetric groups by Peterson in [2]; the reader should consult [3] or the survey [4] for other results of this kind. 1989
On a matrix group constructed from an {R,s+1,k}-potent matrix
2014
Let R is an element of C-nxn be a {k}-involutory matrix (that is, R-k = I-n) for some integer k >= 2, and let s be a nonnegative integer. A matrix A is an element of C-nxn is called an {R,s + 1, k}-potent matrix if A satisfies RA = A(s+1)R. In this paper, a matrix group corresponding to a fixed {R,s + 1, k}-potent matrix is explicitly constructed, and properties of this group are derived and investigated. This group is then reconciled with the classical matrix group G(A) that is associated with a generalized group invertible matrix A.
Properties of a matrix group associated to a {K,s+1}-potent matrix
2012
In a previous paper, the authors introduced and characterized a new kind of matrices called {K,s+1}-potent. In this paper, an associated group to a {K, s+1}-potent matrix is explicitly constructed and its properties are studied. Moreover, it is shown that the group is a semidirect product of Z_2 acting on Z_{(s+1)^2-1}. For some values of s, more specifications on the group are derived. In addition, some illustrative examples are given.
