The new model for the free solvable groups of level two is given; this helps to calculate the Poisson-Furstenberg boundary of the group.

We present a proof of the following claim. Suppose that $n$ is an integer such that $n>1$ and that $k$ is any field. Suppose that $g$ is an element of $\mathrm{SL}(n,k)$ of infinite order. Then the set $\{h\in\mathrm{SL}(n,k)\mid <g,h>$ is…

We show that if 2^{aleph_0} Cohen reals are added to the universe, then for every reduced non-free torsion-free abelian group A of cardinality less than the continuum, there is a prime p so that Ext_p(A, Z) not= 0. In particular if it is…

We prove Freudenburg's Freeness Conjecture: Let B be the polynomial ring in three variables over a field of characteristic zero, let D : B --> B be a nonzero locally nilpotent derivation, and let A = ker(D). Then B is a free A-module, and…

We prove that the additive group of the rationals does not have an automatic presentation. The proof also applies to certain other abelian groups, for example, torsion-free groups that are $p$-divisible for infinitely many primes $p$, or…

A classical conjecture in transformation group theory states that if $G=(\bbZ/p)^r$ acts freely on a product of $k$ spheres $S^{n_1} \times ... \times S^{n_k}$, then $r\leq k$. We prove this conjecture in the case where the average of the…

We prove that every free group of finite rank can be realized as the fundamental group of a planar Rauzy fractal associated with a 4-letter unimodular cubic Pisot substitution. This characterizes all countable fundamental groups for planar…

We offer a direct proof of an elementary result concerning cohomological periods. As a corollary we show that given a finitely generated stably free resolution of Z over a finite group, two of its modules are free.

In \cite{jpsf} we constructed pairs of units $u,v$ in $\Z$-orders of a quaternion algebra over $\Q (\sqrt{-d})$, $d \equiv 7 \pmod 8$ positive and square free, such that $< u^ n,v^n>$ is free for some $n\in \mathbb{N}$. Here we extend this…

We build on the results of [6] to show that the homology groups $\mathrm{H}_{r_1+r_2}(Y_0(\mathcal{N}_\Sigma),\mathcal{O})_{\mathfrak{m}_\Sigma}$ of arithmetic manifolds are free over certain deformation rings $R_\Sigma$, when there are…

One of the motivations to state HRT conjecture on the linear independence of finite Gabor systems was the fact that there are linearly dependent Finite Wavelet Systems (FWS). Meanwhile, there are also many examples of linearly independent…

Let $G = H_1 * ... * H_k * F_r$ be a torsion-free group and $\phi$ an automorphism of $G$ that preserves this free factor system. We show that when $\phi$ is fully irreducible and atoroidal relative to this free factor system, the mapping…

We show that the Hurwitz scheme $\mathcal{H}_{g,d}$ parametrizing $d$-sheeted simply branched covers of the projective line by smooth curves of genus $g$, up to isomorphism, is unirational for $(g,d)=(10,8)$ and $(13,7)$. The unirationality…

We introduce the notion of a free associative $\mathcal{Z}_2$-algebra on the union of two disjoint sets and prove a generalization of Cohn's Theorem on Jordan algebras.

This paper is devoted to the proof of the property of order separability for free product of free groups with maximal cyclic amalgamated subgroups.

We give the first example of systolic freedom over torsion coefficients. The phenomenon is a bit unexpected (contrary to a conjecture of Gromov's) and more delicate than systolic freedom over the integers.

In this note, it is proved that a graphs is $(2K_2,P_4)$-free if and only if its edge ring is universally Koszul. Using properties of this family of graphs, we show that Universally Koszul algebras defined by graphs have linear minimal free…

Using three basic facts concerning Hurwitz zeta function,we give new natural proofs of the known results on Bernoulli polynomials,gamma function and also obtain Gauss' expression for Psi function at a rational point,all in a unified…

By utilizing an irreducible inclusion of type III$_{q^{2}} $ factors coming from a free-product type action of the quantum group $ SU_{q}(2) $, we show that the free group factor $ L(\mathbb {F}_{\infty}) $ possesses irreducible subfactors…

Property FW is a natural combinatorial weakening of Kazhdan's Property T. We prove that the group of piecewise homographic self-transformations of the real projective line, has "few" infinite subgroups with Property FW. In particular, no…
