Abstract

For a group $G$, let $S(G)$ be the set of elements $g \in G$ such that $\langle g,x\rangle$ is solvable for all $x \in G$. We study when $S(G)$ coincides with the locally solvable radical $R_{\mathrm{L}\mathfrak{S}}(G)$. Using Wilson's profinitely convergent word sequences, we show that, for every locally (solvable-by-finite) group $G$ and every Wilson sequence $\omega$, $$ R_{\mathrm{L}\mathfrak{S}}(G) = R_{\mathrm{L}\mathfrak{R}}(G) = S(G) = W_{\omega}(G).$$ We also obtain four-conjugate and seven-commutator descriptions of radical membership, together with a two-conjugate result for torsion elements of order coprime to $6$. The same radical identity holds for locally linear groups, and hence for subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_{\infty}(D)$ when $D$ is a locally finite-dimensional division ring. Independently, we prove that groups with nearly modular subgroup lattice satisfy $$R_{\mathrm{L}\mathfrak{S}}(G) = R_{\mathrm{L}\mathfrak{R}}(G) = S(G).$$

The fields generated by character values of linear and unitary groups

For a finite group $G$, define the field $\mathbb{Q}(G) := \mathbb{Q}(\{\chi(g) : \chi \in \operatorname{Irr}(G) , g \in G\})$. In this article we compute generating sets for the fields $\mathbb{Q}(G)$ when $G$ is a finite general or special linear group, a finite general or special unitary group, or one of the simple...

Spectral Algebras of Abelian Cayley Graphs

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group of order $N$, $S \subseteq G \setminus \{0\}$ a symmetric connection set, and $K$ a field with $char(K) \nmid N$. The spectral algebra $\mathscr{A_K}(Cay(G,S)) = K[A]$ generated by the adjacency matrix of the Cayley graph is proved to decompose, via the character-orbit decomposition, a...

Hilbert's Irreducibility for $\mathbb{G}_m$

Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a finite set of non-archimedean places. Write $\mathcal{O}_S$ for the ring of $S$-integers of $K$ and $\mathcal{O}_S^\times$ for its unit group. Let $\pi : X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ be a morphism of (irreducible) curves defined over $K$, and denote by $\operatorname{Red}(\pi)$ the se...

Subset-Sum Density Realization in Locally Finite Abelian Groups

Let $G$ be a countable locally finite abelian group, and let \[ G_1\leq G_2\leq\cdots, \qquad \bigcup_{i\geq1}G_i=G, \] be any filtration of $G$ by finite subgroups. For $A\subseteq G$, let $\mathcal P(A)$ denote the set of all finite subset sums of elements of $A$, and let $2G:=\{2g:g\in G\}$. We prove that $|2G|=\inf...

A Proof of Gluck's Conjecture

For a finite group $H$, let $\nu(H)$ denote the maximum order of a nilpotent subgroup of $H$. We prove that every finite solvable transitive permutation group $P$ on a finite set $\Omega$ has a subset $\Delta\subseteq\Omega$ such that $|P:P_\Delta|\ge\nu(P_\Delta)$. We also prove that if a finite solvable group $H$ act...

Symbolic Rees algebras of complementary edge ideals

Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on $[n]$ and let $I_c(G)$ denote its complementary edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S = K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. We give a combinatorial description, in terms of the structure of $G$, of the minimal generators of the symbolic Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}_s(I_c(G)) = \bigoplus_{k \geq 0} I_c(G)...
