Generation of certain groups by three involutions, two of which commute | Posted on:1999-02-01 | Degree:Ph.D | Type:Thesis | University:The University of British Columbia (Canada) | Candidate:Cherkassoff, Michael Boris | Full Text:PDF | GTID:2460390014972468 | Subject:Mathematics | Abstract/Summary: | | In this thesis the question of generating PSLn( q) with three involutions, two of which commute is completely settled. When such a generation is possible we explicitly supply the generators as well as all computations that would enable one to write any particular matrix in terms of these generators.;We also provide a complete classification (up to conjugacy) of embeddings of the Klein 4-group into PSLn(q) over finite fields of odd characteristic and explicitly list representatives of each embedding. | Keywords/Search Tags: | Three involutions | | Related items |
