SOME PROPERTIES OF TENSOR CENTRE OF GROUPS

Let $G{\otimes}G$ be the tensor square of a group G. The set of all elements a in G such that $a{\otimes}g\;=\;1_{\otimes}$, for all g in G, is called the tensor centre of G and denoted by $Z^{\otimes}^$(G). In this paper some properties of the tensor centre of G are obtained and the capability of the pair of groups (G, G') is determined. Finally, the structure of $J_2$(G) will be described, where $J_2$(G) is the kernel of the map $\kappa$ : $G{\otimes}\;{\rightarrow}\;G.
