Two finite words [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text]-binomially equivalent if, for each word [Formula: see text] of length at most [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] appears the same number of times as a subsequence (i.e., as a scattered subword) of both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. This notion generalizes abelian equivalence. In this paper, we study the equivalence classes induced by the [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence. We provide an algorithm generating the [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence class of a word. For [Formula: see text] and alphabet of [Formula: see text] or more symbols, the language made of lexicographically least elements of every [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence class and the language of singletons, i.e., the words whose [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence class is restricted to a single element, are shown to be non-context-free. As a consequence of our discussions, we also prove that the submonoid generated by the generators of the free nil-[Formula: see text] group (also called free nilpotent group of class [Formula: see text]) on [Formula: see text] generators is isomorphic to the quotient of the free monoid [Formula: see text] by the [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence.

AbstractWe apply the filtered and graded methods developed in earlier works to find (noncommutative) free group algebras in division rings.If $L$ is a Lie algebra, we denote by $U(L)$ its universal enveloping algebra. P. M. Cohn constructed a division ring $\mathfrak{D}_{L}$ that contains $U(L)$. We denote by $\mathfrak{D}(L)$ the division subring of $\mathfrak{D}_{L}$ generated by $U(L)$.Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $L$ be a nonabelian Lie $k$-algebra. If either $L$ is residually nilpotent or $U(L)$ is an Ore domain, we show that $\mathfrak{D}(L)$ contains (noncommutative) free group algebras. In those same cases, if $L$ is equipped with an involution, we are able to prove that the free group algebra in $\mathfrak{D}(L)$ can be chosen generated by symmetric elements in most cases.Let $G$ be a nonabelian residually torsion-free nilpotent group, and let $k(G)$ be the division subring of the Malcev–Neumann series ring generated by the group algebra $k[G]$. If $G$ is equipped with an involution, we show that $k(G)$ contains a (noncommutative) free group algebra generated by symmetric elements.

AbstractWe consider the isomorphism problem for the finitely generated torsion free nilpotent groups of Hirsch length at most five. We show how this problem translates to solving an explicitly given set of polynomial equations. Based on this, we introduce a canonical form for each isomorphism type of finitely generated torsion free nilpotent group of Hirsch length at most 5 and, using a variation of our methods, we give an explicit description of its automorphisms.

We describe an algorithm for deciding whether or not a given finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group is decomposable as the direct product of nontrivial subgroups.

Let $M$ be a connected $1$-manifold, and let $G$ be a finitely-generated nilpotent group of homeomorphisms of $M$. Our main result is that one can find a collection $\{I_{i,j},M_{i,j}\}$ of open disjoint intervals with dense union in $M$, such that the intervals are permuted by the action of $G$, and the restriction of the action to any $I_{i,j}$ is trivial, while the restriction of the action to any $M_{i,j}$ is minimal and abelian. It is a classical result that if $G$ is a finitely-generated, torsion-free nilpotent group, then there exist faithful continuous actions of $G$ on $M$. Farb and Franks [Groups of homeomorphisms of one-manifolds, III: Nilpotent subgroups. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.23 (2003), 1467–1484] showed that for such $G$, there always exists a faithful $C^{1}$ action on $M$. As an application of our main result, we show that every continuous action of $G$ on $M$ can be conjugated to a $C^{1+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ action for any $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}<1/d(G)$, where $d(G)$ is the degree of polynomial growth of $G$.

In [Bardakov and Gongopadhyay, Palindromic width of free nilpotent groups, J. Algebra 402 (2014) 379–391] the authors provided a bound for the palindromic widths of free abelian-by-nilpotent group ANn of rank n and free nilpotent group N n,r of rank n and step r. In the present paper, we study palindromic widths of groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We denote by [Formula: see text] the quotient of the group Gn = 〈x1, …, xn〉, which is free in some variety by the normal subgroup generated by [Formula: see text]. We prove that the palindromic width of the quotient [Formula: see text] is finite and bounded by 3n. We also prove that the palindromic width of the quotient [Formula: see text] is precisely 2(n - 1). As a corollary to this result, we improve the lower bound of the palindromic width of N n,r. We also improve the bound of the palindromic width of a free metabelian group. We prove that the palindromic width of a free metabelian group of rank n is at most 4n - 1.
