If kis a perfect eld we will write g kfor the absolute galois group galkk. Torsioncomplete primary components in modular abelian. Clearly a implies b since every subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic. Finally, we show that there are pipoor groups which are not poor. Metabelian varieties of groups and wreath products of. Throughout the present paper, let kg be the group algebra of a multiplicative abelian group g with pprimary component gp over a field k of characteristic p. It is well known that every torsion abelian group g is isomorphictothe directsum p gp. An abelian group is said to be reduced if its only divisible subgroup is 0. Standardly, rg will always denote the group ring of g over r and g0. If p g,thesylowpsubgroup of g is the trivial group. P, the set of all primes, without any confusion we shall write g p 1 whenever we have. Our goal is to study, for a xed mand odd prime p, the ptorsion subgroup k mo f p as f varies in a family of number elds, always ordered by absolute value of the discriminant. The inverse limit is a compact abelian group denoted by z p, called the padic integers.
Let g be a pmixed abelian group with divisible pcomponent. Quasiclosed primary components in abelian group rings. Turning now to periodic an abelian group g, we let g p denote the union of all compact psubgroups. Every abelian group is the direct sum of a divisible. Then the group ring r g is semiperfect if and only if g g. A classical theorem of group theory states that every. The determinative aim of this research paper is to check whether or not the total projectivity of the pprimary component of an arbitrary abelian group is an invariant property for the commutative modular group algebra of characteristic, that is a wellknown significant problem.
The structure of ideal class groups 543 1 preliminaries 1. Theorem 2 fix g a finite group and p a prime number. This generalizes results in 6,8,9 and also provides shorter proofs for the results in 6,9. Also called primary group a p p group, but no relation to n group. This paper is concerned with the investigation of two closely related questions. In mathematics, specifically group theory, given a prime number p, a pgroup is a group in which the order of every element is a power of p. Let b be a pprimary abelian group without elements of infinite height, let b be a basic subgroup of g and b. Let g be a profinite group and let p be a prime number. We call the ap the primary components or pcomponent of a. The second list of examples above marked are non abelian. A note on the isomorphism of modular group algebras of pmixed abelian groups with divisible pcomponents peter danchev abstract we give a new conceptual proof of the following classical fact due to karpilovsky contemp. Algorithmic group theory, abelian group, generating system, basis of abelian group. In the noncyclic case, we show in theorem 2 that if thepprimary component of a group g is cyclic and if all factors except perhaps one have order a power of the primep then some factor must be periodic.
The orders of different elements may be different powers of p. We consider the completed group ring z pg which is decomposed into z pg z p. For m 0, the kgroup k mo f is a nitely generated abelian group. Recall that if a is an abelian group, then a p denotes its pprimary component, i. If h is an arbitrary abelian group, we write hp for the ptorsion in h. It is shown that every noncentral normal subgroup of t contains a noncentral elementary abelian normal psubgroup of t of rank at least 2. We prove that abelian groups with minimal generating sets are closed neither under. The basis theorem an abelian group is the direct product of cyclic p groups.
Moreover, we show that a divisible group d is cancellable if and only if the maximal torsionfree subgroup of d is the direct sum of a finite number of copies of the rationals and for each prime p, the p primary component of d is the direct sum of a finite number of. Proof the identity element is trivially a member of h since e5 e, making h a nonempty set. This subgroup consists of all elements x whose order is a power of p. It had been shown by kaplansky 2, theorem 14 that such invariants determine the isomorphism type of a countable reduced abelian torsion group. For powerassociative loops, a pprimary component need not even be a subloop. This direct product decomposition is unique, up to a reordering of the factors. A finite abelian group a is the direct sum of its primary components ap. To this aim, throughout the paper, let g be an abelian group with maximal divisible subgroup dg and pcomponent of torsion gp and let r be a commutative ring with identity element of prime characteristic p with unit group ur, with nilradical nr and with a subring l which contains the same identity as r. In other words, a group is abelian if the order of multiplication does not matter. Moreover, ele ments with order some power of a fixed prime p likewise form a subgroup. On the other hand, bruck and paige observed without proof in 3. A note on the isomorphism of modular group algebras of p.
Now, the pprimary of p1selmer group selak p1 has the structure of a discrete, co nitely generated gmodule. This can be defined by the exactness of the sequence where the cohomology in the galois cohomology of commutative algebraic groups, cf. Denote by bp the pprimary component of the abelian group b of. For instance, this is known by a standard argument to be the case when the pprimary selmer. Various aspects of abelian periodic groups are considered such as decomposing them into local products of their sylow p subgroups. This subgroup consists of all elements xwhose order is a power of p. The pprimary component of an abelian group g coincides with the unique sylow psubgroup of g. These are often called its pprimary parts or pprimary components. These are often called its p pprimary parts or p pprimary components.
In the present article, the pprimary components uppg and spg of the groups. Denote by skg the pcomponent of torsion of the group vkg of all normalized i. G is primary for the prime p if every element has order a power of p. Then g p is a closed and fully characteristic subgroup of periodic group called the pprimary component. In case where g is a cyclic group having a generating system with m elements, a omno time algorithm for the computation of a basis of g is obtained.
It is known that, is a torsion group whose pprimary component is of finite corank for each prime p. In particular, if all sylow subgroups of g are abelian, b 0g 0 bo87, bmp, lemma 2. Throughout the following, g is a reduced pprimary abelian group, p 5, and v is the group of all automorphisms of g. A nite abelian group has unique sylow psubgroup for each prime p. Appendix a the structure of finite abelian groups tcd maths home. A locally compact abelian group is called periodic if it is totally disconnected and is a directed union of its compact subgroups. Since g is abelian, we have that ab5 a5 b5 ee e, so a 1b 2h. Every group galways have gitself and eas subgroups. We denote by rg the group ring of g over r with a normed pprimary component of torsion srg which is also called sylow psubgroup. Let pg be the abelian modular group ring of the abelian group g over the abelian ring p with 1 and prime charp p. The compact abelian groups zpn and the continuous group homomorphisms. A topology for primary abelian groups springerlink. John sullivan, classification of finite abelian groups pdf.
This divisible group d is the injective envelope of a, and this concept is the injective hull in the category of abelian groups reduced abelian groups. According to 2 page 88, a torsion abelian group is isomorphic to a direct sum of cyclic groups. By the fundamental theorem of nitely generated abelian groups, the pprimary component of g, gp z p r 1 rz pm, and the psylow group is. The fundamental theorem of finite abelian groups stats that every finite abelian group is a direct sum of its p pprimary subgroups. A group is abelian2 if ab bafor all 2 also known as commutative a, bin g. Thus, if there are two decompositions of t that violate 2, we will see that violation when we restrict attention to tp.
For p a prime number, a group is pprimary if each of its elements g has order a power. Moreover, for a pipoor abelian group m, it is shown that m can not be torsion, and each pprimary component of m is unbounded. We also show that every finitely generated abelian group is cancellable. To deduce conclusions about a primary component of its torsion subgroup however, we must require that r behaves sufficiently well with respect to the prime p.
As stated above, any abelian group a can be uniquely embedded in a divisible group d as an essential subgroup. Additive theory of ideals edit this result is the first in an area now known as the additive theory of ideals, which studies the ways of representing an ideal as the intersection of a special class of ideals. Let a be an abelian group and recall that we write it additively. Let n pn1 1 p nk k be the order of the abelian group g. For a reduced primary group g we define a trans finite series as. That is, for each element g of a pgroup g, there exists a nonnegative integer n such that the product of p n copies of g, and not fewer, is equal to the identity element. For example, if the power p n of a prime p has a primary decomposition, then its pprimary component is the nth symbolic power of p. Abelian groups a group is abelian if xy yx for all group elements x and y. Givenan abelian group g and a primenumber p,theptorsion part or, equivalently, pprimary component of g is gp g. It is often but not always the case that selak p1 is gcotorsion. As usual, nr denotes the nilradical of r, g p the pcomponent of g and r pi r i. We put ap for the primary pcomponent of the torsion subgroup.
