More Upper Bounds On The 3-Rewriteability Of Non-3-Rewriteable Groups, Eric Wepsic Nov 1991

More Upper Bounds On The 3-Rewriteability Of Non-3-Rewriteable Groups, Eric Wepsic

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

We find an upper bound on the probability that a randomly selected triple in a group is 3-rewriteable, and a bound for the core set rewriteability.


Cyclicizers, Centralizers, And Normalizers, David Patrick, Eric Wepsic Oct 1991

Cyclicizers, Centralizers, And Normalizers, David Patrick, Eric Wepsic

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Our goal is to define the cyclicizer, which is analogous to the centralizer and normalizer, and to examine groups in which these subsets have certain special properties.


Counting Centralizers In Finite Groups, Sarah Marie Belcastro, Gary J. Sherman Aug 1991

Counting Centralizers In Finite Groups, Sarah Marie Belcastro, Gary J. Sherman

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

We discuss various results on the number of commuting pairs and the sizes of the centralizers of a group.


An Upper Bound For 3-Rewriteability In Finite Groups, Jordan Ellenberg May 1991

An Upper Bound For 3-Rewriteability In Finite Groups, Jordan Ellenberg

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

An ordered triple of group elements (x,y,z) is said to be rewriteable if the product xyz is equal to one of the products xzy, yxz, yzx, zxy, zyx. In the present paper, we shall ask the following question: how rewriteable can a finite group be if its derived group has order greater than 2?


Finite Abelian Groups In Which The Probability Of An Automorphism Fixing An Element Is Large, Gary J. Sherman Mar 1991

Finite Abelian Groups In Which The Probability Of An Automorphism Fixing An Element Is Large, Gary J. Sherman

Mathematical Sciences Technical Reports (MSTR)

Let G be a finite group and let A be its automorphism group. We obtain various results on the probability that a random element of A fixes a random element of G.
