Unipotent Finitary Linear Groups

Associative rings whose adjoint semigroup is locally nilpotent

2001

The set of all elements of an associative ring R, not necessarily with a unit element, forms a semigroup R ad under the circle operation \({r\circ s}={r+s+rs}\) on R. The ring R is called radical if R ad is a group. It is proved that the semigroup R ad is nilpotent of class n (in sense of A. Mal'cev or B. H. Neumann and T. Taylor) if and only if the ring R is Lie-nilpotent of class n. This yields a positive answer to a question posed by A. Krasil'nikov and independently considered by D. Riley and V. Tasic. It is also shown that the adjoint group of a radical ring R is locally nilpotent if and only if R is locally Lie-nilpotent.

Linear Methods in Nilpotent Groups

1982

The subject of this chapter is commutator calculation. It will be recalled that the commutator [x, y] of two elements x, y of a group is defined by the relation $$ [x,y] = {{x}^{{ - 1}}}{{y}^{{ - 1}}}xy. $$ . We then have $$ [xy,z] = {{[x,z]}^{y}}[y,z],\quad [x,yz] = [x,z]{{[x,y]}^{z}}. $$ . These relations are rather similar to the conditions for bilinearity of forms, and there are a number of ways of formalizing this similarity. Once this is done, commutator calculations can be done by linear methods. Several examples of theorems proved by this method will be given in this chapter.

On symplectically rigid local systems of rank four and Calabi–Yau operators

2013

AbstractWe classify all Sp4(C)-rigid, quasi-unipotent local systems and show that all of them have geometric origin. Furthermore, we investigate which of those having a maximal unipotent element are induced by fourth order Calabi–Yau operators. Via this approach, we reconstruct all known Calabi–Yau operators inducing an Sp4(C)-rigid monodromy tuple and obtain closed formulae for special solutions of them.

Picard-Fuchs operators for octic arrangements, I: the case of orphans

2019

We report on $25$ families of projective Calabi-Yau threefolds that do not have a point of maximal unipotent monodromy in their moduli space. The construction is based on an analysis of certain pencils of octic arrangements that were found by C. Meyer. There are seven cases where the Picard-Fuchs operator is of order two and $18$ cases where it is of order four. The birational nature of the Picard-Fuchs operator can be used effectively to distinguish between families whose members have the same Hodge numbers.

Calabi-Yau conifold expansion

2013

We describe examples of computations of Picard–Fuchs operators for families of Calabi–Yau manifolds based on the expansion of a period near a conifold point. We find examples of operators without a point of maximal unipotent monodromy, thus answering a question posed by J. Rohde.

Frobenius polynomials for Calabi–Yau equations

2008

We describe a variation of Dwork’ s unit-root method to determine the degree 4 Frobenius polynomial for members of a 1-modulus Calabi–Yau family over P1 in terms of the holomorphic period near a point of maximal unipotent monodromy. The method is illustrated on a couple of examples from the list [3]. For singular points, we find that the Frobenius polynomial splits in a product of two linear factors and a quadratic part 1− apT + p3T 2. We identify weight 4 modular forms which reproduce the ap as Fourier coefficients.

Invariants of unipotent groups

1987

I’ll give a survey on the known results on finite generation of invariants for nonreductive groups, and some conjectures. You know that Hilbert’s 14th problem is solved for the invariants of reductive groups; see [12] for a survey. So the general case reduces to the case of unipotent groups. But in this case there are only a few results, some negative and some positive. I assume that k is an infinite field, say the complex numbers, but in most instances an arbitrary ring would do it.

An uncountable family of almost nilpotent varieties of polynomial growth

2017

A non-nilpotent variety of algebras is almost nilpotent if any proper subvariety is nilpotent. Let the base field be of characteristic zero. It has been shown that for associative or Lie algebras only one such variety exists. Here we present infinite families of such varieties. More precisely we shall prove the existence of 1) a countable family of almost nilpotent varieties of at most linear growth and 2) an uncountable family of almost nilpotent varieties of at most quadratic growth.
