A 3-manifold group which is not four dimensional linear
(ElsevierJournal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2014-01-28)
We give examples of closed orientable graph 3-manifolds having a fundamental group which is not a subgroup of GL(4, F) for any field F. This answers a question in the Kirby problem list from 1977 which is credited to the ...
An explicit upper bound for the Helfgott delta in SL(2,p)
(ElsevierJournal of Algebra, 2014-09-23)
Helfgott proved that there exists a δ > 0 such that if S is a symmetric generating subset of SL(2, p)containing 1 then either S^3=SL(2, p)or |S^3| ≥|S|^1+ δ. It is known that δ ≥ 1/3024. Here we show that δ ≤ (log_2 (7) ...
