Hyper-abelian groups with finite co-central rank
2004
AbstractA group G has finite co-central rank s if there exists a least non-negative integer s such that every finitely generated subgroup H can be generated by at most s elements modulo the centre of H. The investigation of such groups has been started in [J.P. Sysak, A. Tresch, J. Group Theory 4 (2001) 325]. It is proved that hyper-abelian groups with finite co-central rank are locally soluble. The interplay between the Prüfer rank condition, the condition of having finite abelian section rank and the finite co-central rank condition is studied. As one result, a hyper-abelian group G with finite co-central rank has an ascending series with abelian factors of finite rank and every chief fac…
Soluble groups with their centralizer factor groups of bounded rank
2007
Abstract For a group class X , a group G is said to be a C X -group if the factor group G / C G ( g G ) ∈ X for all g ∈ G , where C G ( g G ) is the centralizer in G of the normal closure of g in G . For the class F f of groups of finite order less than or equal to f , a classical result of B.H. Neumann [Groups with finite classes of conjugate elements, Proc. London Math. Soc. 1 (1951) 178–187] states that if G ∈ C F f , the commutator group G ′ belongs to F f ′ for some f ′ depending only on f . We prove that a similar result holds for the class S r ( d ) , the class of soluble groups of derived length at most d which have Prufer rank at most r . Namely, if G ∈ C S r ( d ) , then G ′ ∈ S d…
On the adjoint group of some radical rings
1997
A ring R is called radical if it coincides with its Jacobson radical, which means that Rforms a group under the operation a ° b = a + b + ab for all a and b in R. This group is called the adjoint group R° of R. The relation between the adjoint group R° and the additive group R+ of a radical rin R is an interesting topic to study. It has been shown in [1] that the finiteness conditions “minimax”, “finite Prufer rank”, “finite abelian subgroup rank” and “finite torsionfree rank” carry over from the adjoint group to the additive group of a radical ring. The converse is true for the minimax condition, while it fails for all the other above finiteness conditions by an example due to Sysak [6] (s…
