Abstract We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra A generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has decomposition rank at most 3. If, in addition, A satisfies the universal coefficient theorem, another string of deep results shows it is classifiable by its ordered K-theory and is approximately subhomogeneous. We observe that all C*-algebras generated by faithful irreducible representations of finitely generated, torsion free nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem.

AbstractWe consider the influence on a group G of the condition that every infinite set of cyclic subgroups of G contains a pair that permute and prove (Theorem 1) that finitely generated soluble groups with this condition are centre-by-finite, and (Theorem 2) that torsion free groups satisfying the condition are abelian.

This paper deals with two conditions which, when stated, appear similar, but when applied to finitely generated solvable groups have very different effect. We first establish the notation before stating these conditions and their implications. If H is a subgroup of a group G, let denote the setWe say G has the isolator property if is a subgroup for all H ≦ G. Groups possessing the isolator property were discussed in [2]. If we define the relation ∼ on the set of subgroups of a given group G by the rule H ∼ K if and only if , then ∼ is an equivalence relation and every equivalence class has a maximal element which may not be unique. If , we call H an isolated subgroup of G.

Effective Procedures

Abstract In this paper, we consider the conjugacy stability property of subgroups and provide effective procedures to solve the problem in several classes of groups. In particular, we start with free groups, that is, we give an effective procedure to find out if a finitely generated subgroup of a free group is conjugacy stable. Then we further generalize this result to quasi-convex subgroups of torsion-free hyperbolic groups and finitely generated subgroups of limit groups.

AbstractAn element in a free group is a proper power if and only if it is a proper power in every nilpotent factor group. Moreover there is an algorithm to decide if an element in a finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group is a proper power.

AbstractA group G belongs to the class W if G has non-nilpotent proper subgroups and is isomorphic to all of them. The main objects of study are the soluble groups in W that are not finitely generated. It is proved that there are no torsion-free groups of this sort, and a reasonable classification is given in the finite rank case.

AbstractAs a step towards characterizing ID-groups (i.e., groups G such that, for every ring R without zero-divisors, the group ring RG has no zero-divisors), Rudin and Schneider defined Ω-groups, a possibly wider class than that of right-orderable groups, and proved that if every non-trivial finitely generated subgroup of a group G has a non-trivial H-group as an epimorphic image, then G is an ID-group. We prove that such groups are even Ω-groups and obtain the analogous result for right-orderable groups.
