    Metabelian thin Lie algebras

    No full text
    A graded Lie algebra is thin if it is generated by two elements of degree 1 and each of its homogeneous ideals is located between two consecutive terms of the lower central series. In this paper we give a complete classification of the metabelian thin Lie algebras and their graded automorphism groups. © 2001 Academic Press

    Soluble normally constrained pro-p-groups

    No full text
    A pro-p-group G is said to be normally constrained (or, equivalently, of obliquity zero) if every open normal subgroup of G is trapped between two consecutive terms of the lower central series of G. In this paper infinite soluble normally constrained pro-p-groups, for an odd prime p, are shown to be 2-generated. A classification of such groups, up to the isomorphism type of their associated Lie algebra, is provided in the finite coclass case, for p > 3. Moreover, we give an example of an infinite soluble normally constrained pro-p-group whose lattice of open normal subgroups is isomorphic to that of the Nottingham group. Some general results on the structure of soluble just infinite pro-p-groups are proved on the way. © Walter de Gruyter 2007

    Pro-p groups with waists

    No full text
    A waist W of a pro-p group G is a subgroup which is comparable with any open normal subgroup of G. The position of W with respect to the terms of a central series of G is studied here. If p is odd, with some natural hypotheses we show that W is a term of both the lower and upper central series of G

    Profinite groups with finite virtual length

    No full text
    In this paper we introduce the notion of finite virtual length for profinite groups (that is, every series has a bounded number of infinite factors) and we prove a Jordan–Hölder type theorem for profinite groups with finite virtual length. More structural results are provided in the pronilpotent and p-adic analytic cases

    An ultimately periodic chain in the integral Lie ring of partitions

    Given an integer n, we introduce the integral Lie ring of partitions with bounded maximal part, whose elements are in one-to-one correspondence to integer partitions with parts in {1,...,n-1}. Starting from an abelian subring, we recursively define a chain of idealizers and we prove that the sequence of ranks of consecutive terms in the chain is ultimately periodic. Moreover, we show that its growth depends of the partial sum of the partial sum of the sequence counting the number of partitions. This work generalizes our previous recent work on the same topic, devoted to the modular case where partitions were allowed to have a bounded number of repetitions of parts in a ring of coefficients of positive characteristic

    Ideally constrained Lie Algebra

    No full text
    AbstractIn this paper we deal with graded Lie algebras L such that there exists a positive integer r such that for every positive integer i and for every homogeneous ideal I⊈Li the inclusion I⊇Li+r−1 holds. The solvable case and the r=1 case receive a special attention

    On the number of conjugacy classes of normalisers in a finite p-group

    No full text
    In 1996 Poland and Rhemtulla proved that the number \nu(G) of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of a non-Hamiltonian nilpotent group G is at least c − 1, where c is the nilpotency class of G. In this paper we consider the map that associates to every conjugacy class of subgroups of a finite p-group the conjugacy class of the normaliser of any of its representatives. In spite of the fact that this map need not be injective, we prove that, for p odd, the number of conjugacy classes of normalisers in a finite p-group is at least c (taking into account the normaliser of the normal subgroups). In the case of p-groups of maximal class we can find a better lower bound that depends also on the prime p

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
