Semi-boolean and Yosida $\ell$-groups, Martinez and Yosida frames, and the $G+B$ construction

Abstract

The class of semi-boolean $\ell$-groups was introduced in 1968 by A. Bigard. These are the $\ell$-groups $G$ in which the principal convex $\ell$-subgroup $G(a)$ generated by any $a \in G$ is equal to the polar $a^{\perp \perp}$. Examples include all hyperarchimedean $\ell$-groups and all existentially closed abelian $\ell$-groups. Ordered by inclusion, the set of convex $\ell$-subgroups of a semi-boolean $\ell$-group is a \Mart frame (an algebraic frame with FIP in which every element is a $d$-element). Related are the Yosida $\ell$-groups, i.e., the $\ell$-groups whose frame of convex $\ell$-subgroups is a Yosida frame (an algebraic frame with FIP in which every compact element is a meet of maximal elements). Applying results on \Mart frames and Yosida frames, we obtain new characterizations of the semi-boolean and Yosida $\ell$-groups, show that the former constitute a radical class and the latter do not, and present new examples with special properties. To build some of our examples, we introduce the $G+B$ construction for $\ell$-groups, an adaptation of the $A+B$ construction from commutative algebra.

Word Measures on Wreath Products II

Every word $w$ in $F_r$, the free group of rank $r$, induces a probability measure (the $w$-measure) on every finite group $G$, by substitution of random $G$-elements in the letters. This measure is determined by its Fourier coefficients: the $w$-expectations $E_w[χ]$ of the irreducible characters of $G$. For every finite group $G$, every stable character $χ$ of $G\wr S_n$ (trace of a finitely generated $FI_G$-module), and every word $w\in F_r$, we approximate $E_w[χ]$ up to an error term of $O(n^{-π(w)})$, where $π(w)$ is the primitivity rank of $w$. This generalizes previous works by Puder, Hanany, Magee and the author. As an application we show that random Schreier graphs of representation-stable actions of $G\wr S_n$ are close-to-optimal expanders. The paper reveals a surprising relation between stable representation theory of wreath products and not-necessarily connected Stallings core graphs.

Robust quasi-isometric embeddings inapproximable by Anosov representations

Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For all but finitely many $m\in \mathbb{N}$, we exhibit the first examples of non-locally rigid, Zariski dense, robust quasi-isometric embeddings of hyperbolic groups in $\mathsf{SL}_m(\mathbb{K})$ which are not limits of Anosov representations. As a consequence, we show that higher rank analogues of Sullivan's structural stabilty theorem and of the density theorem for Kleinian groups fail for Anosov representations in $\mathsf{SL}_m(\mathbb{C}), m\geq 30$.

$\mathcal{C}$-Hereditarily conjugacy separable groups and wreath products

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the restricted wreath product $A\wr B$ to be $\mathcal{C}$-hereditarily conjugacy separable where $\mathcal{C}$ is an extension-closed pseudovariety of finite groups. Moreover, we prove that the Grigorchuk group is 2-hereditarily conjugacy separable. As an application, we demonstrate that the lamplighter groups and $\mathbb{Z} \wr \mathbb{Z}$ are hereditarily conjugacy separable (but not $p$-conjugacy separable for any prime $p$). This provides infinitely many new examples of solvable, non-polycyclic hereditarily conjugacy separable groups. Furthermore, we study wreath products of cyclic subgroup separable groups and the derived length of iterated wreath products of solvable groups with an abelian base group and, as an application, we give an explicit construction of non-polycyclic hereditarily conjugacy separable groups of arbitrary derived length as iterated wreath products of abelian groups.
