We give a proof of the finite generation of the cohomology ring of a finite p-group over F_p by reduction to the case of elementary abelian groups, based on Serre's Theorem on products of Bocksteins.

Let R be any ring (with 1), \Gamma a group and R\Gamma the corresponding group ring. Let H be a subgroup of \Gamma of finite index. Let M be an R\Gamma -module, whose restriction to RH is projective. Moore's conjecture: Assume for every…

Given a finitely generated linear group $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, we construct a simple group $\Gamma$ that has the same finiteness properties as $G$ and admits $G$ as a quasi-retract. As an application, we construct a simple group of type…

In this paper it is proved that the group $F\left(\frac32\right)$, a Thompson-style group with breaks in $\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac16\right]$ but whose slopes are restricted only to powers of $\frac32$, is finitely generated, with a generating…

We consider random sampling in finitely generated shift-invariant spaces $V(\Phi) \subset {\rm L}^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ generated by a vector $\Phi = (\varphi_1,\ldots,\varphi_r) \in {\rm L}^2(\mathbb{R}^n)^r$. Following the approach introduced…

We show the inverse deformation problem has an affirmative answer: given a complete local noetherian ring $A$ with finite residue field $\pmb{k}$, we show that there is a topologically finitely generated profinite group $\Gamma$ and an…

We use the properties of the refined Bloch group of a field to prove that H_3 of SL_2 of a global field is never finitely generated, and to calculate - up to some 2-torsion - H_3 of SL_2 of local fields with finite residue field of odd…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated skew field over a ground field $k$, and let $G$ be a finite group of $k$-linear automorphisms of $M$. This paper investigates finite generation of the skew subfield $M^G$ of $G$-invariants in $M$, and…

For J an integral domain and F its field of fractions, we construct a map from the 3-skeleton of the classifying space for {\Gamma} = SL_2(J[t,1/t]) to a Euclidean building on which {\Gamma} acts. We then find an infinite family of…

It is known that the Frobenius algebra of the injective hull of the residue field of a complete Stanley--Reisner ring (i.e. a formal power series ring modulo a squarefree monomial ideal) can be only principally generated or infinitely…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real algebraic group and $\Gamma<G$ be its Zariski dense discrete subgroup. We prove that if $\Gamma\backslash G$ admits any finite Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure, then $\Gamma$ is virtually a product of…

As well-known, in a finitary algebraic structure the set $\Gamma$ of all the non-generators is the intersection of all the maximal proper substructures. In particular, $\Gamma$ is a substructure. We show that the corresponding statements…

For modules over group rings we introduce the following numerical parameter. We say that a module A over a ring R has finite r-generator property if each f.g. (finitely generated) R-submodule of A can be generated exactly by r elements and…

We say that a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ is self-simulable if every effectively closed action of $\Gamma$ on a closed subset of $\{\texttt{0},\texttt{1}\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ is the topological factor of a $\Gamma$-subshift of finite type.…

Let $r$ be an odd prime and $\mathbb{F}$ a field containing a primitive $r$th root of unity. Then for all $\ell \geq 1$, there is a faithful representation $f: \operatorname{Sp}_{2\ell}(r) \rightarrow \operatorname{GL}_{r^\ell}(\mathbb{F})$…

We show that any finitely generated group $F$ with infinitely many ends is not a group of fractions of any finitely generated proper subsemigroup $P$, that is $F$ cannot be expressed as a product $P P^{-1}$. In particular this solves a…

This is the second part of a two part work in which we prove that for every finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma < \mathsf{Out}(F_n)$, either $\Gamma$ is virtually abelian or its second bounded cohomology $H^2_b(\Gamma;\mathbb{R})$ contains…

Let $\C$ be a variety of finite groups. We use profinite Bass--Serre theory to show that if $u:H\hookrightarrow G$ is a map of finitely generated residually $\C$ groups such that the induced map $\hat{u}:\hat{H}\rightarrow\hat{G}$ is a…

This paper is devoted to the computation of the space $H_b^2(\Gamma,H;\mathbb{R})$, where $\Gamma$ is a free group of finite rank $n\geq 2$ and $H$ is a subgroup of finite rank. More precisely we prove that $H$ has infinite index in…

Let $G$ be a non-compact semisimple Lie group with finite centre and finitely many components. We show that any finitely generated group $\Gamma$ which is quasi-isometric to an irreducible lattice in $G$ has the $R_\infty$-property, namely,…
