In this note, we compute the {\Sigma}^1(G) invariant when 1 {\to} H {\to} G {\to} K {\to} 1 is a short exact sequence of finitely generated groups with K finite. As an application, we construct a group F semidirect Z_2 where F is the R.…

We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…

We show that just infinite quotients of finitely generated subgroups of Richard Thompson's group F are virtually abelian, answering a question of Grigorchuk. We show the same holds for the group of piecewise linear orientation preserving…

For finite-dimensional linear semigroups which leave a proper cone invariant it is shown that irreducibility with respect to the cone implies the existence of an extremal norm. In case the cone is simplicial a similar statement applies to…

We define the class of groups of bounded type from tile inflations. These tile inflations also determine some automata describing the groups. In the case when the automata are stationary, we show that if the set of incompressible elements…

The Schreier graphs of Thompson's group F with respect to the stabilizer of 1/2 and generators x_0 and x_1, and of its unitary representation in L_2([0,1]) induced by the standard action on the interval [0,1] are explicitly described. The…

We obtain sharp estimates on the growth rate of stable commutator length on random (geodesic) words, and on random walks, in hyperbolic groups and groups acting nondegenerately on hyperbolic spaces. In either case, we show that with high…

Ian Leary inquires whether a class of hyperbolic finitely presented groups are residually finite. We answer in the affirmative by giving a systematic version of a construction in his paper, which shows that the standard 2-complexes of these…

In this note the smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) linear and {\sl semilinear} representations of certain permutation groups (such as infinite symmetric group or automorphism group of an infinite-dimensional vector space over a finite…

We determine the finite groups whose real irreducible representations have different degrees.

For a group G we consider the set of natural numbers n for which the nth cohomology functor of G commutes with filtered colimit systems of coefficient modules. We find that for the large class of hierarchically decomposable groups there is…

We investigate stabilizers of finite sets of rational points in Cantor space for the Higman-Thompson groups $V_{n,r}$. We prove that the pointwise stabilizer is an iterated ascending HNN extension of $V_{n,q}$ for any $q\geq 1$. We also…

In this paper we study obstructions to presentability by products for finitely generated groups. Along the way we develop both the concept of acentral subgroups, and the relations between presentability by products on the one hand, and…

Let $F$ be a global field. Let $G$ be a non trivial finite \'etale tame $F$-group scheme. We define height functions on the set of $G$-torsors over $F,$ which generalize the usual heights such as discriminant. As an analogue of the Malle…

We construct a finitely presented (two-sided) totally orderable group with insoluble word problem.

We give a combinatorial criterion that implies both the non-strong relative hyperbolicity and the one-endedness of a finitely generated group. We use this to show that many important classes of groups do not admit a strong relatively…

We investigate the representations of the symmetry groups of infinite crystals. Crystal symmetries are usually described as the finite symmetry group of a finite crystal with periodic boundary conditions, for which the Brillouin zone is a…

For odd and for even involutive, commutative residuated chains a representation theorem is presented in this paper by means of direct systems of abelian o-groups equipped with further structure. This generalizes the corresponding result of…

In the first part of this note, we introduce Tietze transformations for $L$-presentations. These transformations enable us to generalize Tietze's theorem for finitely presented groups to invariantly finitely $L$-presented groups. Moreover,…

We provide equivalent conditions for Liouville property of actions of groups. As an application, we show that there is a Liouville measure for the action of the Thompson group $F$ on dyadic rationals. This result should be compared with a…
