The Cayley graph of Neumann subgroups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: All Cayley representations of the distant graph GammaZ over integers are characterized as Neumann subgroups of the extended modular group. Possible structures of Neumann subgroups are revealed and it is shown that every such a structure can be realized.


The distant graph \(\Gamma_{R}\) over a ring with identity \(R\), is a combinatoric object representing the projective line \(\mathbb{P}(R)\) over \(R\). In the case \(R=\mathbb{Z}\), the vertices as the elements of \(\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Q} \cup \{\infty\}=\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\) are all cyclic submodules of the \(\mathbb{Z}\)-module \(\mathbb{Z}^{2}\) generated by the vectors with co-prime coordinates. The edges of \(\Gamma_{\mathbb{Z}}\) connect vertices whose generators are the rows of an invertible \((2\times 2)\)-matrix over \(\mathbb{Z}\). The authors showed in [Result. Math. 73, No. 4, Paper No. 141, 14 p. (2018; Zbl 1398.05104)] that the distant graph \(\Gamma_{\mathbb{Z}}\) is a Cayley graph and they built in [Result. Math. 74, No. 2, Paper No. 82, 9 p. (2019; Zbl 1414.05103)] uncountably many of its Cayley representations. The paper under review constitutes another step in the authors' project to find all Cayley representations of \(\Gamma_{\mathbb{Z}}\) in \(\mathrm{PGL}(2, \mathbb{Z})\) and to describe Cayley's groups of \(\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{Z})\).
