Two-dimensional real triangle quasirepresentations of groups
V. A. Faiziev
Abstract:
Definition. By two-dimensional real triangle quasirepresentation of group
$G$ we mean the mapping
$\Phi$ of group
$G$ into the group of two-dimensional real triangle matrices
$T(2,R)$ such that if
$$
\Phi (x)=\begin{pmatrix}
\alpha(x) &\varphi(x)
\\
0 &\sigma(x)
\end{pmatrix},
$$
then:
\begin{tabular}[t]{l}
1)
$\alpha,\,\sigma$ are homomorphisms of group
$G$ into
$R^*$;
2) the set $\big\{\|\Phi(xy)-\Phi(x)\Phi(y)\|;\,x,y\in G\big\}$ is bounded.
\end{tabular}
For brevity we shall call such mapping a quasirepresentation or a
$(\alpha,\sigma)$-quasirepresentation for given diagonal matrix elements
$\alpha$ and
$\sigma$. We shall say that quasirepresentation is nontrivial if it is neither representation nor bounded. In this paper the criterion of existence of nontrivial
$(\alpha,\sigma)$-quasirepresentation on groups is established. It is shown that if
$G=A\ast B$ is the free product of finite nontrivial groups
$A$ and
$B$ and
$A$ or
$B$ has more than two elements then for every homomorphism
$\alpha$ of group
$G$ into
$R^*$ there are
$(\alpha,\varepsilon)$-,
$(\varepsilon,\alpha)$- and
$(\alpha,\alpha)$-quasirepresentation. Here the homomorphism
$\varepsilon$ maps
$G$ into 1.
