Two-dimensional real triangle quasirepresentations of groups

V.A.Faiziev

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:
1) $\alpha, \sigma$ are homomorphisms of group G into R*;
2) the set $\{\| \Phi(xy) - \Phi(x)\Phi(y)\|; x,y \in G \}$ is bounded.

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*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.
