We study definably amenable NIP groups. We develop a theory of generics, showing that various definitions considered previously coincide, and study invariant measures. Applications include: characterization of regular ergodic measures, a…

In this article we generalize the theory of subgroup graphs of subgroups of free groups to finite index subgroups $H$ of finitely generated groups $G$. We study and prove various properties of $H$ in relation to its subgroup graph…

We prove a theorem of Hinich type on existence of a model structure on a category related by an adjunction to the category of differential graded modules over a graded commutative ring.

Given a fixed integer n, we consider closed subgroups G of H = GL(n,Z_p) where Z_p denotes the ring of p-adic integers and p is sufficiently large in terms of n. Assuming that the Zariski closure of G has no toric part, we give a condition…

We give some background on uniform pro-p groups and the model theory of profinite NIP groups.

We note a parallel between some ideas of stable model theory and certain topics in finite combinatorics related to the sum-product phenomenon. For a simple linear group G, we show that a finite subset X with |X X \^{-1} X |/ |X| bounded is…

Groups with a large $p$-subgroup, $p$ a prime, include almost all of the groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$ and so the study of such groups adds to our understanding of the finite simple groups. In this article we study a special…

We give examples of groups G such that G^00 is different from G^000. We also prove that for groups G definable in an o-minimal structure, G has a "bounded orbit" iff G is definably amenable. These results answer questions of Gismatullin,…

We continue investigating the structure of externally definable sets in NIP theories and preservation of NIP after expanding by new predicates. Most importantly: types over finite sets are uniformly definable; over a model, a family of…

Finite non-abelian non-metacyclic $2$-generated $p$-groups (${p>2}$) of nilpotency class $2$ with cyclic commutator subgroup which are the additive groups of local nearrings are described. It is shown that the subgroup of all non-invertible…

Let G be a finite group scheme over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. Assume further that the connected component of G is unipotent. It is shown that the projectivity of a rational G-module can be detected on a…

There exist NIP and non-NTP$_2$ theories satisfying all the following conditions: It is not o-minimal; All models are strongly locally o-minimal; It has a model which is an expansion of the linearly ordered abelian group over the reals…

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian group and $\kappa_1(G)$ the number of conjugate classes of minimal non-abelian subgroups of $G$. The structure of $G$ with $\kappa_1(G)=1$ is determined. In the case of $G$ being the $p$-groups, the structure…

We give examples of $\mathrm{NIP}$ structures in which new algebraic structure appears in the Shelah completion. In particular we construct a weakly o-minimal structure $\mathscr{M}$ such that $\mathscr{M}$ does not interpret an infinite…

We prove that some relative character varieties of the fundamental group of a punctured sphere into the Hermitian Lie groups $\mathrm{SU}(p,q)$ admit compact connected components. The representations in these components have several…

Let $\hat G$ be the finite simply connected version of an exceptional Chevalley group, and let $V$ be a nontrivial irreducible module, of minimal dimension, for $\hat G$ over its field of definition. We explore the overgroup structure of…

We show that any pseudofinite group with NIP theory and with a finite upper bound on the length of chains of centralisers is soluble-by-finite. In particular, any NIP rosy pseudofinite group is soluble-by-finite. This generalises, and…

We show that if a finite point set $P\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ has the fewest congruence classes of triangles possible, up to a constant $M$, then at least one of the following holds. (1) There is a $\sigma>0$ and a line $l$ which contains…

We study model theoretic tree properties ($\text{TP}, \text{TP}_1, \text{TP}_2$) and their associated cardinal invariants ($\kappa_{\text{cdt}}, \kappa_{\text{sct}}, \kappa_{\text{inp}}$, respectively). In particular, we obtain a…

We fix a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. For a finite group $G$ denote by $\delta(G)$ and $\sigma(G)$ respectively the minimal number $d$, such that for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $G$ over $\kk$ and any $v\in…
