The notion of an open collar is generalized to that of a pseudo-collar. Important properties and examples are discussed. The main result gives conditions which guarantee the existence of a pseudo-collar structure on the end of an open…

A compact K\"ahler manifold is shown to be simply-connected if its `symmetric cotangent algebra' is trivial. Conjecturally, such a manifold should even be rationally connected. The relative version is also shown: a proper surjective…

We formulate a new theorem giving several necessary and sufficient conditions in order that a surjection of the fundamental group $\pi_1(X)$ of a compact K\"ahler manifold onto the fundamental group $\Pi_g$ of a compact Riemann surface of…

We show that connected separable locally compact groups are infinitesimally finitely generated, meaning that there is an integer $n$ such that every neighborhood of the identity contains $n$ elements generating a dense subgroup. We…

We study nearly-Kahler 6-manifolds equipped with a cohomogeneity-two Lie group action for which the principal orbits are coisotropic. If the metric is complete, then we show that this last condition is automatically satisfied, and both the…

We discuss examples of linear representations of finite groups as subgroups of the Riordan group. In particular, we show that the symmetric group of degree three has no faithful representation as a subgroup of the Riordan group over the…

Universality has been an important concept in computable structure theory. A class $\mathcal{C}$ of structures is universal if, informally, for any structure, of any kind, there is a structure in $\mathcal{C}$ with the same…

For every finitely generated abelian group G, we construct an irreducible open 3-manifold $M_{G}$ whose end set is homeomorphic to a Cantor set and with end homogeneity group of $M_{G}$ isomorphic to G. The end homogeneity group is the…

In this work it is shown that a necessary condition for the completeness of the geodesics of left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on Lie groups is also sufficient in the case of 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups, and not sufficient…

In this note, we prove that the compactly supported mapping class group of a surface containing a genus $3$ subsurface has no realization as a subgroup of the homeomorphism group. We also prove that for certain surfaces with order $6$…

It is an old conjecture, that finite $H$-spaces are homotopy equivalent to manifolds. Here we prove that this conjecture is true for loop spaces. Actually, we show that every quasi finite loop space is equivalent to a stably parallelizable…

A classification is given for factorizations of almost simple groups with at least one factor solvable, and it is then applied to characterize $s$-arc-transitive Cayley graphs of solvable groups, leading to a striking corollary: Except the…

Let X be a finite CW-complex of dimension q. If its fundamental group $\pi_{1}(X)$ is polycyclic of Hirsch number h>q we show that at least one of the homotopy groups $\pi_{i}(X)$ is not finitely generated. If h=q or h=q-1 the same…

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

In this paper, we consider an equivalence relation within the class of finitely presented discrete groups attending to their asymptotic topology rather than their asymptotic geometry. More precisely, we say that two finitely presented…

We give an expository account of our proof that each cusp-free hyperbolic 3-manifold M with finitely generated fundamental group and incompressible ends is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

In this article we establish the arithmetic purity of strong approximation for certain semi-simple simply connected $k$-simple linear algebraic groups and their homogeneous spaces over a number field $k$. For instance, for any such group…

In this note we determine the finite groups that can be written as the union of any three irredundant/distinct proper subgroups. The finite groups that can uniquely be written as the union of three proper subgroups are also characterized.

We prove that affine Coxeter groups, even hyperbolic Coxeter groups and one-ended hyperbolic Coxeter groups are homogeneous in the sense of model theory. More generally, we prove that many (Gromov) hyperbolic groups generated by torsion…

In this note, we will give an positive answer to Pan-Rong's conjecture that for an open manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, if its universal cover has Euclidean volume growth, then its fundamental group is finitely generated.…
