In the first part of this paper we prove that the mapping class subgroups generated by the $D$-th powers of Dehn twists (with $D\geq 2$) along a sparse collection of simple closed curves on an orientable surface are right angled Artin…

Let $G \simeq M \rtimes C$ be an $n$-generator group with $M$ Abelian and $C$ cyclic. We study the Nielsen equivalence classes and T-systems of generating $n$-tuples of $G$. The subgroup $M$ can be turned into a finitely generated faithful…

In this paper, we say a ring $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian provided that any nil ideal is finitely generated. First, we show that the Hilbert basis theorem holds for Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian rings, that is, $R$ is Nil$_{\ast}$-Noetherian if…

Sarnak's conjecture in quantum computing concerns when the groups $\operatorname{PU}_2$ and $\operatorname{PSU}_2$ over cyclotomic rings $\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_n, 1/2]$ with $\zeta_n=e^{2\pi i/n}$, $4|n$, are generated by the Clifford-cyclotomic…

We show that a K-approximate subgroup A of a residually nilpotent group G is contained in boundedly many cosets of a finite-by-nilpotent subgroup, the nilpotent factor of which is of bounded step. Combined with an earlier result of the…

We characterize finite groups G generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space V whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two in terms of the corresponding quotient space V/G with its quotient…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the rank of the finite part of operator $K$-theory groups of maximal and reduced $C^*$-algebras of finitely generated groups. The lower bound is based on the amount of polynomially growing conjugacy…

In this paper, we apply the theory of inverse semigroups to the $C^{*}$-algebra $U[\mathbb{Z}]$ considered in \cite{Cuntz}. We show that the $C^{*}$-algebra $U[\mathbb{Z}]$ is generated by an inverse semigroup of partial isometries. We…

The 'degree of k-step nilpotence' of a finite group G is the proportion of the tuples (x_1,...,x_{k+1}) in G^{k+1} for which the simple commutator [x_1,...,x_{k+1}] is equal to the identity. In this paper we study versions of this for an…

We exhibit infinite, solvable, virtually abelian groups with a fixed number of generators, having arbitrarily large balls consisting of torsion elements. We also provide a sequence of 3-generator non-virtually nilpotent polycyclic groups of…

Let $G$ be a group. We denote by $\nu(G)$ a certain extension of the non-abelian tensor square $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite potent $p$-group, then $[G,G^{\varphi}]$ and the $k$-th term of the lower…

A finitely generated group $G$ acting on a tree with infinite cyclic edge and vertex stabilizers is called a generalized Baumslag--Solitar group ($GBS$ group). We prove that a 1-knot group $G$ is $GBS$ group iff $G$ is a torus-knot group…

It is a survey of the results obtained by K. Glazek's and his co-workers. We restrict our attention to the problems of axiomatizations of n-ary groups, classes of n-ary groups, properties of skew elements and homomorphisms induced by skew…

We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…

Let G be a reductive complex algebraic group and V a finite-dimensional G-module. From elements of the invariant algebra C[V]^G we obtain by polarization elements of C[kV]^G, where k\geq 1 and kV denotes the direct sum of k copies of V. For…

Representation theory provides a suitable framework to count and classify invariants in tensor models. We show that there are two natural ways of counting invariants, one for arbitrary rank of the gauge group and a second, which is only…

Nilsystems are a natural generalization of rotations and arise in various contexts, including in the study of multiple ergodic averages in ergodic theory, in the structural analysis of topological dynamical systems, and in asymptotics for…

Following Isaacs (see [Isa08, p. 94]), we call a normal subgroup N of a finite group G large, if $C_G(N) \leq N$, so that N has bounded index in G. Our principal aim here is to establish some general results for systematically producing…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) group is a finitely generated group acting on a tree with infinite cyclic edge and vertex stabilizers. We show how to determine effectively the rank (minimal cardinality of a generating set) of a GBS…

For a Generalized Baumslag-Solitar group $G$ with underling graph a tree, we calculate the intersection $\gamma_{\omega}(G)$ of the lower central series and the intersection $(N_{p})_{\omega}(G)$ of the subgroups of finite index some power…
