Let [Formula: see text] be any group and [Formula: see text] be a subgroup of [Formula: see text] for some set [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-closure of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is by definition, [Formula: see text] The group [Formula: see text] is called [Formula: see text]-closed on [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text]. We say that a group [Formula: see text] is a totally[Formula: see text]-closed group if [Formula: see text] for any set [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. Here we show that the center of any finite totally 2-closed group is cyclic and a finite nilpotent group is totally 2-closed if and only if it is cyclic or a direct product of a generalized quaternion group with a cyclic group of odd order.

A Finite Group

1. If P is any property of groups, then we say that a group G is ‘locally P’ if every finitely generated subgroup of G satisfies P. In this paper we shall be chiefly concerned with the case when P is the property of being nilpotent, and will examine some properties of nilpotent groups which also hold for locally nilpotent groups. Examples of locally nilpotent groups are the locally finite p-groups (groups such that every finite subset is contained in a finite group of order a power of the prime p); indeed, every periodic locally nilpotent group is the direct product of locally finite p-groups.

Basic Properties

Let G be a group. The norm, or Kern of G is the subgroup of elements of G which normalize every subgroup of the group. This idea was introduced in 1935 by Baer [1, 2], who delineated the basic properties of the norm. A related concept is the subgroup introduced by Wielandt [10] in 1958, and now named for him. The Wielandt subgroup of a group G is the subgroup of elements normalizing every subnormal subgroup of G. In the case of finite nilpotent groups these two concepts coincide, of course, since all subgroups of a finite nilpotent group are subnormal. Of late the Wielandt subgroup has been widely studied, and the name tends to be the more used, even in the finite nilpotent context when, perhaps, norm would be more natural. We denote the Wielandt subgroup of a group G by ω(G). The Wielandt series of subgroups ω1(G) is defined by: ω1(G) = ω(G) and for i ≥ 1, ωi+1(G)/ ω(G) = ω(G/ωi, (G)). The subgroups of the upper central series we denote by ζi(G).

Number Of Generators

Let G be a group and M a G-module; then d(G) denotes the minimal number of generators of G and dG(M) the minimal number of generators over ZG of M. For G a finite nilpotent group let G = F/R, F free, be a presentation for G; then it is shown that d(R/[F, R]) = dG(R/[R, R]), that is d(G) + d(M(G)) = dG(R/R′), where M(G) denotes the Schur multiplicator of G.

The isomorphism problem for finite groups of odd order and nilpotency class 2 with cyclic centre will be solved using some results of Brady [1], [2]. Since a finite nilpotent group is the direct product of its Sylow subgroups, we only need to consider finite q-groups where q is a prime. It has been shown in [1] and [2] that a finite q-group of nilpotency class 2 with cyclic centre is a central product either of two-generator subgroups with cyclic centre or of two-generator subgroups with cyclic centre and a cyclic subgroup, and that the q-groups of class 2 on two generators with cyclic centre comprise the following list: , and if q = 2 we have as well .

Let G be a nilpotent group with finite abelian ranks (e.g. let G be a finitely generated nilpotent group) and suppose φ is an automorphism of G of finite order m. If γ and ψ denote the associated maps of G given by \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\gamma :g \mapsto g^{ - 1} \cdot g\phi and \psi :g \mapsto g \cdot g\phi \cdot g\phi ^2 \cdots \cdot \cdot g\phi ^{m - 1} for g \in G,$$ \end{document} then Gγ · kerγ and Gψ · ker ψ are both very large in that they contain subgroups of finite index in G.

A Finite Group

AbstractThe function {\mathrm{F}_{G}(n)} gives the maximum order of a finite group needed to distinguish a nontrivial element of G from the identity with a surjective group morphism as one varies over nontrivial elements of word length at most n. In previous work [M. Pengitore, Effective separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups, New York J. Math. 24 2018, 83–145], the author claimed a characterization for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. However, a counterexample to the above claim was communicated to the author, and consequently, the statement of the asymptotic characterization of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} is incorrect. In this article, we introduce new tools to provide lower asymptotic bounds for {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} when N is a finitely generated nilpotent group. Moreover, we introduce a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups for which the upper bound of the above article can be improved. Finally, we construct a class of finitely generated nilpotent groups N for which the asymptotic behavior of {\mathrm{F}_{N}(n)} can be fully characterized.

AbstractLet p be an odd prime. A method is described which given a structure M of finite similarity type produces a nilpotent group of class 2 and exponent p which is in the same stability class as M.Theorem. There are nilpotent groups of class 2 and exponent p in all stability classes.Theorem. The problem of characterizing a stability class is equivalent to characterizing the (nilpotent, class 2, exponent p) groups in that class.
