We explore finitely generated groups by studying the nilpotent towers and the various Lie algebras attached to such groups. Our main goal is to relate an isomorphism extension problem in the Postnikov tower to the existence of certain…

The complex algebra of an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents in each $\mathcal D$-class is stably finite by a result of Munn. This can be proved fairly easily using $C^*$-algebras for inverse semigroups satisfying this…

It is proven that every finite group of odd order with all Sylow subgroups of nilpotency class at most two is an involutive Yang-Baxter group (IYB group for short), i.e. it admits a structure of left brace. It is also proven that every…

Gromov claimed, with a sketch of proof, that simply connected nilpotent Lie groups have polynomially bounded filling invariants. The literature establishes this, often with a stronger conclusion where the exponent of polynomiality is…

The group of 2-by-2 matrices with integer entries and determinant $\pm > 1$ can be identified either with the group of outer automorphisms of a rank two free group or with the group of isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of a 2-dimensional…

We revisit the isoperimetric inequalities for finitely generated groups introduced and studied by N. Varopoulos, T. Coulhon and L. Saloff-Coste. Namely we show that a lower bound on the isoperimetric quotient of finite subsets in a finitely…

Let $S$ be either a free group or the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface. We show that if $G$ is a finitely generated residually-$p$ group with the same pro-$p$ completion as $S$, then two-generated subgroups of $G$ are free.…

Using free probability constructions involving Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras we show that the topological entropy of the free product of two automorphisms is equal to the maximum of the individual entropies. As applications we show that general…

We study topological full groups attached to groupoid models for left regular representations of Garside categories. Groups arising in this way include Thompson's group $V$ and many of its variations such as R\"over-Nekrashevych groups. Our…

We prove two conjectures of E. Khukhro and P. Shumyatsky concerning the Fitting height and insoluble length of finite groups. As a by-product of our methods, we also prove a generalization of a result of Flavell, which itself generalizes…

Let $K$ be a field and $f:\mathbb{P}^N \to \mathbb{P}^N$ a morphism. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group $\text{PGL}_{N+1}$. The group of automorphisms, or…

In 1960 Fuchs posed the problem of characterizing the groups which are the groups of units of commutative rings. In the following years, some partial answers have been given to this question in particular cases. In this paper we address…

Given a free group of rank r >= 3 and two exponentially growing outer automorphisms {\psi} and {\phi} with dual lamination pairs {\Lambda^\pm}_{\psi} and {\Lambda^\pm}_{\phi} associated to them, which satisfy a notion of independence…

Let $\gamma_n=[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the $n$th lower central word. Denote by $X_n$ the set of $\gamma_n$-values in a group $G$ and suppose that there is a number $m$ such that $|g^{X_n}|\leq m$ for each $g\in G$. We prove that…

We present a non-singular, definition-level formulation of F-theory by replacing the traditional shrinking-fiber limit of M-theory with compactification on a tower-completed circle described using perfectoid geometry and condensed…

The main result of this paper is that the isomorphism for omega-automatic trees of finite height is at least has hard as second-order arithmetic and therefore not analytical. This strengthens a recent result by Hjorth, Khoussainov,…

The group U_n(F) of all nxn unipotent upper-triangular matrices over F has derived length d := Ceiling(log_2 (n)), equivalently 2^{d-1} < n <= 2^d. We prove that U_n(F) has a 3-generated subgroup of derived length d, and it has a…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the rank of the finite part of operator $K$-theory groups of maximal and reduced $C^*$-algebras of finitely generated groups. The lower bound is based on the amount of polynomially growing conjugacy…

The group of automorphisms of a symbolic dynamical system is countable, but often very large. For example, for a mixing subshift of finite type, the automorphism group contains isomorphic copies of the free group on two generators and the…

The $n$-dimensional quantum torus $\Lambda$ is defined to be the $F$-algebra generated by variables $y_1, \cdots, y_n$ with the relations $y_iy_j = q_{ij}y_jy_i$ where $q_{ij}$ are suitable scalars from the base field. This algebra is also…
