Groups preserving a distributive product are encountered often in algebra. Examples include automorphism groups of associative and nonassociative rings, classical groups, and automorphism groups of p-groups. While the great variety of such…

We construct Graev ultrametrics on free products of groups with two-sided invariant ultrametrics and HNN extensions of such groups. We also introduce a notion of a free product of general Polish groups and prove, in particular, that two…

We study $\epsilon$-representations of discrete groups by unitary operators on a Hilbert space. We define the notion of Ulam stability of a group which loosely means that finite-dimensional $\epsilon$-represendations are uniformly close to…

We develop a relative boundary theory for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces and use it to derive rigidity results for reduced crossed products. For a discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on a compact space $X$ and a subgroup $H$, we…

We initiate a systematic study of cohomology theories for partial groups, algebraic structures introduced by Chermak that generalize groups by allowing only partially defined products. Inspired by classical group cohomology, we develop two…

We find the equivalence groupoid of a~class of $(1+1)$-dimensional second-order evolution equations, which are called generalized potential Burgers equations. This class is related via potentialization with two classes of…

In a type-theoretic fibration category in the sense of Shulman (representing a dependent type theory with at least 1, Sigma, Pi, and identity types), we define the type of constant functions from A to B. This involves an infinite tower of…

We use the notion of fixity for representations of finite groups to construct free and smooth actions on products of spheres. In particular we show that a finite p-group (for p>3) will act freely and smoothly on a product of two spheres if…

The property of exponential dichotomy can be seen as a generalization of the hyperbolicity condition for non autonomous linear finite dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations. In 1978 W.A. Coppel proved that the exponential…

We study the universal groups of inverse semigroups associated with point sets and with tilings. We focus our attention on two classes of examples. The first class consists of point sets which are obtained by a cut and projection scheme…

This survey is intended to be a fast (and reasonably updated) reference for the theory of Stallings automata and its applications to the study of subgroups of the free group, with the main accent on algorithmic aspects. Consequently,…

The notion of normal quantum subgroup introduced in algebraic context by Parshall and Wang when applied to compact quantum groups is shown to be equivalent to the notion of normal quantum subgroup introduced by the author. As applications,…

For any positive integer $n$, $\mathcal{A}_n$ is the class of all groups $G$ such that, for $0\leq i\leq n$, $H^i(\hat{G},A)\cong H^i(G,A)$ for every finite discrete $\hat{G}$-module $A$. We describe certain types of free products with…

In this work, I address a primary issue with adapting categorical and algebraic concepts to functional analytic settings, the lack of free objects. Using a "normed set" and associated categories, I describe constructions of normed objects,…

We introduce a new product for permutation groups. It takes as input two permutation groups, M and N, and produces an infinite group M [X] N which carries many of the permutational properties of M. Under mild conditions on M and N the group…

Let $A$ be a unital associative algebra over a field $k$. All unital associative algebras containing $A$ as a subalgebra of a given codimension $\mathfrak{c}$ are described and classified. For a fixed vector space $V$ of dimension…

We present novel constructions concerning the homology of finitely generated groups. Each construction draws on ideas of Gilbert Baumslag. There is a finitely presented acyclic group $U$ such that $U$ has no proper subgroups of finite index…

If $G$ is a free product of finite groups, let $\Sigma Aut_1(G)$ denote all (necessarily symmetric) automorphisms of $G$ that do not permute factors in the free product. We show that a McCullough-Miller [D. McCullough and A. Miller, {\em…

In this paper we give a new foundational, categorical formulation for operations and relations and objects parameterizing them. This generalizes and unifies the theory of operads and all their cousins including but not limited to PROPs,…

Here we extend the algebro-geometric approach to free probability, started in~\cite{FMcK4,F14}, to general (non)-commutative probability theories. We show that any universal convolution product of moments of independent (non)-commutative…
