Abstract

The line of investigation of the present paper goes back to a classical work of W. H. Gustafson of the 1973, in which it is described the probability that two randomly chosen group elements commute. In the same work, he gave some bounds for this kind of probability, providing information on the group structure. We have recently obtained some generalizations of his results for finite groups. Here we improve them in the context of the compact groups.

Finite quotients of spherical Artin groups

We show the smallest non-abelian quotients of spherical and affine Artin groups are isomorphic to the smallest non-abelian quotients of the corresponding Coxeter groups. We deduce irreducible spherical Artin groups are determined by their finite quotient groups.

Cosets with constant characteristic polynomial

Let H be a linear group. We show that if there is an invertible matrix x such that all the elements of xH share the same characteristic polynomial then H is virtually solvable. There are plenty of applications that will be presented in future paper. Here, we discuss some applications to the generalized Weigold conjecture and present an alternative straightforward proof of the Formanek--Procesi nonlinearity theorem for Aut(F_n), n>2, over every field. When n>5 our non-linearity proof gives a stronger result than the original Formanek--Procesi theorem.

Inherently nonfinitely based additively idempotent semirings

We give a sufficient condition for an additively idempotent semiring to be inherently nonfinitely based. Namely, if its generated variety is locally finite and every Zimin word is minimal in the additive order, then it is contained in no finitely based locally finite variety. For each positive integer $n$, we construct an infinite finitely generated flat semiring satisfying all identities in at most $n$ variables of every semiring with this minimality property. We also characterize Zimin minimality by membership of a countable flat factor semiring $\Finf$ in the generated variety. The variety $\V(\Finf)$ is locally finite and inherently nonfinitely based.
