Spectra of groups

From MaRDI portal





The first author et al. [Algebra Univers. 83, No. 1, Paper No. 8, 38 p. (2022; Zbl 1485.18007)] proved that it is possible to associate a Zariski spectrum with any complete multiplicative lattice. In this paper, the authors associate with any group \(G\) the Zariski spectrum \(\mathrm{Spec}(G)\) of the multiplicative lattice \(\mathcal{N}(G)\) of all normal subgroups of \(G\). The multiplication in this lattice is given by the commutator operation, that is, the product of two normal subgroups \(A\) and \(B\) of \(G\) is the normal subgroup \([A,B]\). The points of the spectrum \(\mathrm{Spec}(G)\) of G are the prime subgroups of \(G\), i.e. the prime elements of the multiplicative lattice \(\mathcal{N}(G)\). The aim of the paper under review is to investigate the behaviour of prime and semiprime subgroups of groups and their relation with the existence of abelian normal subgroups. In particular, the authors study the set \(\mathrm{Spec}(G)\) of all prime subgroups of a group \(G\) endowed with the Zariski topology and among other examples, they construct an infinite group whose proper normal subgroups are prime and form a descending chain of type \(\omega+1\).
