  • A Group Theoretic Characterization of Linear Groups
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector JOURNAL OF ALGEBRA 113, 207-214 (1988) A Group Theoretic Characterization of Linear Groups ALEXANDER LUBOTZKY Institute qf Mathematics, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel 91904 Communicated by Jacques Tits Received May 12, 1986 Let r be a group. When is f linear? This is an old problem. The first to study this question systematically was Malcev in 1940 [M], who essen- tially reduced the problem to finitely generated groups. (Note that a finitely generated group is linear over some field of characteristic zero if and only if it can be embedded in CL,(C) for some n.) Very little progress was made since that paper of Malcev, although, as linear groups are a quite special type of group, many necessary conditions were obtained, e.g., r should be residually finite and even virtually residually-p for almost all primes p, f should be virtually torsion free, and if not solvable by finite it has a free non-abelian subgroup, etc. (cf. [Z]). Of course, none of these properties characterizes the finitely generated linear groups over @. In this paper we give such a characterization using the congruence structure of r. First some definitions: For a group H, d(H) denotes the minimal number of generators for H. DEFINITION. Let p be a prime and c an integer. A p-congruence structure (with a bound c) for a group r is a descending chain of finite index normal subgroups of r = N, 2 N, 2 N, z .

  • HIGH DIMENSIONAL EXPANDERS 0. Introduction Expander Graphs Are
    HIGH DIMENSIONAL EXPANDERS ALEXANDER LUBOTZKY Abstract. Expander graphs have been, during the last five decades, the subject of a most fruitful interaction between pure mathematics and computer science, with influence and applications going both ways (cf. [55], [37], [56] and the references therein). In the last decade, a theory of “high dimensional expanders” has be- gun to emerge. The goal of the current paper is to describe some paths of this new area of study. 0. Introduction Expander graphs are graphs which are, at the same time, sparse and highly connected. These two seemingly contradicting properties are what makes this theory non trivial and useful. The existence of such graphs is not a completely trivial issue, but by now there are many methods to show this: random methods, Kazhdan property (T ) from representation theory of semisimple Lie groups, Ramanujan conjecture (as proved by Deligne and Drinfeld) from the theory of automorphic forms, the elementary Zig-Zag method and “interlacing polynomials”. The definition of expander graphs can be expressed in several dif- ferent equivalent ways (combinatorial, spectral gap etc. - see [55], [40]). When one comes to develop a high dimensional theory; i.e. a theory of finite simplicial complexes of dimension d ≥ 2, which resem- bles that of expander graphs in dimension d = 1, the generalizations of the different properties are (usually) not equivalent. One is ledto notions like: coboundary expanders, cosystolic expanders, topological expanders, geometric expanders, spectral expanders etc. each of which has its importance and applications. In §1, we recall very briefly several of the equivalent definitions of expander graphs (ignoring completely the wealth of their applications).

  • ELEMENTARY EQUIVALENCE of PROFINITE GROUPS by Moshe
    ELEMENTARY EQUIVALENCE OF PROFINITE GROUPS by Moshe Jarden, Tel Aviv University∗ and Alexander Lubotzky, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem∗∗ Dedicated to Dan Segal on the occasion of his 60th birthday Abstract. There are many examples of non-isomorphic pairs of finitely generated abstract groups that are elementarily equivalent. We show that the situation in the category of profinite groups is different: If two finitely generated profinite groups are elementarily equivalent (as abstract groups), then they are isomorphic. The proof ap- plies a result of Nikolov and Segal which in turn relies on the classification of the finite simple groups. Our result does not hold any more if the profinite groups are not finitely generated. We give concrete examples of non-isomorphic profinite groups which are elementarily equivalent. MR Classification: 12E30 Directory: \Jarden\Diary\JL 3 June, 2008 * Supported by the Minkowski Center for Geometry at Tel Aviv University, established by the Minerva Foundation. ** Supported by the ISF and the Landau Center for Analysis at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Introduction Let L(group) be the first order language of group theory. One says that groups G and H are elementarily equivalent and writes G ≡ H if each sentence of L(group) which holds in one of these groups holds also the other one. There are many examples of pairs of elementarily equivalent groups which are not isomorphic. For example, the group Z is elementarily equivalent to every nonprincipal ultrapower of it although it is not isomorphic to it. Less trivial examples are given by the following result: If G and H are groups satisfying G × Z =∼ H × Z, then G ≡ H [Oge91] (see [Hir69] for an example of non-isomorphic groups G and H satisfying G × Z =∼ H × Z.)

  • Leadership for Equity and Social Justice in Arab and Jewish Schools in Israel: Leadership Trajectories and Pedagogical Praxis
    Vol. 17, No. 1 International Journal of Multicultural Education 2015 Leadership for Equity and Social Justice in Arab And Jewish Schools in Israel: Leadership Trajectories and Pedagogical Praxis Khalid Husny Arar The Center for Academic Studies & Sakhnin College Israel ABSTRACT: The research investigated how principals in Israel’s Jewish and Arab school systems perceive and practice their role in promoting equitable education to bridge socio-economic and pedagogic gaps. It asked how Jewish and Arab principals understand the concept of social justice and what they do in order to promote social justice reality in their schools. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 Arab and Jewish principals. Analysis of interviews indicated that Israeli education policy perpetuates ethnic and social gaps. The principals reported different personal trajectories that shaped their perceptions of social and described strategies used to promote social justice. KEYWORDS: principal, Arab, Jewish, Israel, social justice School Leadership and Social Justice Discourse The Israeli Education System Methodology Findings Discussion and Conclusion References Author Contact Increased interest in the concept of social justice (SJ) in educational research reflects the aspiration to implement principles of SJ in schools (Lindsey & Lindsey, 2011; Berkovich, 2014; Stevenson, 2007; Theoharis & Brooks, 2013). Yet, in the main, this aspiration remains largely rhetorical, often failing to inform school practice (Blankstein & Houston, 2011; North, 2008). The implementation of SJ policy and practice to correct injustice, discrimination, and exclusion remains elusive, politically loaded, and subject to numerous interpretations (Jean-Marie, Normore, & Brooks, 2009). North (2008) indicated that schools are challenged by society’s inequalities to become sites of justice, inclusion, and caring.
