A power-commutator presentation for the group of truncated polynomials under substitution
Fernando Szechtman
Given a prime , the Nottingham group is the group of formal power series , , under substitution. For , we write $…
Substitution groups of formal power series
Agustín D'Alessandro, Fernando Szechtman
Let be the group of power series under substitution, where is a commutative ring with of prime characteristic . Given any $n…
A family of groups extending McLain's
Leandro Cagliero, Fernando Szechtman
Given a strict partial order on a set and an arbitrary ring with , the corresponding McLain group has been studied in depth. We construct a larger famil…
The automorphism group of certain polycyclic groups
Khalid Benabdallah, Agustin D'Alessandro, Fernando Szechtman
For , let be the infinite Macdonald group, and set . Then is a nilpotent polycyclic gro…
Sylow subgroups of the Macdonald group on 2 parameters
Fernando Szechtman
Consider the Macdonald group , where and are integers different from one. We fill a gap in Macdonald's origin…
A study of the Wamsley group and its Sylow subgroups
A. Previtali, F. Szechtman
We study the Wamsley group and its Sylow subgroups, where and , obtaining the sharpest results w…
