We prove the pro-$p$ version of the Karras, Pietrowski, Solitar, Cohen and Scott result stating that a virtually free group acts on a tree with finite vertex stabilizers. If a virtually free pro-$p$ group $G$ has finite centralizes of all…

For a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ denote by $\mu(\Gamma)$ the growth coefficient of $\Gamma$, that is, the infimum over all real numbers $d$ such that $s_n(\Gamma)<n!^d$. We show that the growth coefficient of a virtually free group…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated torsion-free pro-$p$ group containing an open free-by-$\mathbb{Z}_p$ pro-$p$ subgroup. We show that the completed group algebra of $G$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ is a Sylvester domain. Moreover the inner rank of a…

Let $\Gamma $ be an infinite discrete group and $\mathsf{A}\subset \Gamma $ a nonempty finite subset. The set of permutations $\sigma $ of $\Gamma $ such that $s^{-1}\sigma (s)\in \mathsf{A}$ for every $s\in \Gamma $ can be identified with…

Let $X$ be the $2$-sphere $\mathbb S^2$ or the real projective plane $\mathbb {RP}^2$. We show that if $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated group acting minimally and distally on $X$, then $\Gamma$ contains a nonabelian free subgroup.

Let G be an infinite discrete group of type FP-infinity and let p>1 be a real number. We prove that the l^p-homology and cohomology groups of G are either 0 or infinite dimensional. We also show that the cardinality of the p-harmonic…

Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-separable group, for some fixed prime $p$. Let $\Gamma_p(G)$ be the common divisor graph built on the set of non-central conjugacy classes of $p$-regular elements of $G$: this is the graph whose vertices are the…

Given a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $N$, the simple graph $\Gamma_\textit{G}( \textit{N} )$ is a graph whose vertices are of the form $|x^G|$, where $x\in{N\setminus{Z(G)}}$, and $x^G$ is the $G$-conjugacy class of $N$…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional simply connected manifold of pinched sectional curvature $-a^2 \leq K \leq -1$. There exist a positive constant $C(n,a)$ such that for any finitely generated discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on $X$, then either…

For each odd prime $p$, we produce a $2$-generated pro-$p$ group $G$ whose normal Hausdorff spectra \[ \mathrm{hspec}_{\trianglelefteq}^{\mathcal{S}}(G) = \{ \mathrm{hdim}_{G}^{\mathcal{S}}(H)\mid H\trianglelefteq_\mathrm{c} G \} \] with…

Let p be prime, k a finite field of characteristic p, and G a virtually pro-p group. We prove an analogue of the Green Correspondence for finitely generated modules over the completed group algebra k[[G]].

We prove that a finitely generated pro-$p$ group acting on a pro-$p$ tree $T$ with procyclic edge stabilizers is the fundamental pro-$p$ group of a finite graph of pro-$p$ groups with edge and vertex groups being stabilizers of certain…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

For a group $G,$ let $\Gamma(G)$ denote the graph defined on the elements of $G$ in such a way that two distinct vertices are connected by an edge if and only if they generate $G$. Moreover let $\Gamma^*(G)$ be the subgraph of $\Gamma(G)$…

The pro-isomorphic zeta function of a finitely generated nilpotent group $\Gamma$ is a Dirichlet generating function that enumerates finite-index subgroups whose profinite completion is isomorphic to that of $\Gamma$. Such zeta functions…

We establish that finitely generated non-abelian direct products $G$ of free pro-$p$ groups have full Hausdorff spectrum with respect to the lower $p$-series $\mathcal{L}$. This complements similar results with respect to other standard…

Let G be any locally compact, unimodular, metrizable group. The main result of this paper, roughly stated, is that if F<G is any finitely generated free group and \Gamma < G any lattice, then up to a small perturbation and passing to a…

The {\it prime graph} $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of $|G|$ and in which two distinct vertices $r$ and $s$ are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of $G$ of order…

We show that if $\Gamma = \Gamma_1\times\dotsb\times \Gamma_n$ is a product of $n\geq 2$ non-elementary ICC hyperbolic groups then any discrete group $\Lambda$ which is $W^*$-equivalent to $\Gamma$ decomposes as a $k$-fold direct sum…
