    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Soluble pro-p-groups and soluble Lie algebras

    No full text
    We present here some recent work on the correspondence between normal subgroups of profinite groups and graded ideals of their associated graded Lie algebras, and give characterizations of soluble just infinite pro-p-groups and modular soluble just infinite graded Lie algebras
