The higher Schur-multiplicator of certain class of groups.

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The paper is devoted to calculating the higher Schur-multiplicator of certain classes of groups with respect to the variety of nilpotent groups. Our results somehow generalize the works of M.R.R. Moghaddam (1979), and N.D. Gupta and M.R.R. Moghaddam (1993).


Let \(N_c\) be the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most \(c\) (\(c\geq 1\)) and \(G\) be an arbitrary group with a free presentation \(1\to R\to F@>\pi>>G\to 1\), where \(F\) is a free group of countable rank and \(R=\ker\pi\). Then the Baer-invariant of \(G\) with respect to the variety of nilpotent groups, \(N_c\), is defined to be \[ N_cM(G)=(R\cap\gamma_{c+1}(F))/[R,\underbrace{F,\dots ,F}_{c\text{ times}}], \] where \(\gamma_{c+1}(F)\) is the \((c+1)\)-st term of the lower central series of \(F\). In this paper, the authors calculate the Baer-invariants of the \(n\)-th nilpotent product of two cyclic groups for \(n=2,3,4\), under some conditions.
