Let $\mathfrak F$ be a formation and let $G$ be a group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is $\mathrm{K}\mathfrak F$-subnormal (submodular) in $G$ if there is a subgroup chain $H=H_0\le \ H_1 \le \ \ldots \le H_i \leq H_{i+1}\le \ldots \le \ H_n=G$…

We study equivalence relations and II_1 factors associated with (quotients of) generalized Bernoulli actions of Kazhdan groups. Specific families of these actions are entirely classified up to isomorphism of II_1 factors. This yields…

We present a construction that produces infinite classes of K\"ahler groups that arise as fundamental groups of fibres of maps to higher dimensional tori. Following the work of Delzant and Gromov, there is great interest in knowing which…

Clean markings on surfaces were a key component in Masur and Minsky's hierarchy machinery, which proved to be a powerful tool in the study of mapping class groups. We construct a marking graph for irreducible finite-type Artin groups which…

We give two different proofs of the existence of the $AH+2$ subfactor, which is a $3$-supertransitive self-dual subfactor with index $\frac{9+\sqrt{17}}{2} $. The first proof is a direct construction using connections on graphs and…

Given a countable group $G$ splitting as a free product $G=G_1\ast\dots\ast G_k\ast F_N$, we establish classification results for subgroups of the group $Out(G,\mathcal{F})$ of all outer automorphisms of $G$ that preserve the conjugacy…

This thesis concerns the study of homogeneous factorisations of complete graphs with edge-transitive factors. A factorisation of a complete graph $K_n$ is a partition of its edges into disjoint classes. Each class of edges in a…

We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…

Given a $k$-graph $\Lambda $ we construct a Markov space $M_\Lambda $, and a collection of $k$ pairwise commuting cellular automata on $M_\Lambda $, providing for a factorization of Markov's shift. Iterating these maps we obtain an action…

We highlight that integer Heisenberg groups at level 2 underlie topological quantum phenomena: their group algebras coincide with the algebras of quantum observables of abelian anyons in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems on closed…

Motivated to find the answers to some of the questions that have occurred in recent papers dealing with Hamiltonian cycles (abbreviated HCs) in some special classes of grid graphs we started the investigation of spanning unions of cycles,…

For any positive integer $n$, we exhibit a cofinite subgroup $\Gamma_n$ of the mapping class group of a surface of genus at most two such that $\Gamma_n$ admits an epimorphism onto a free group of rank $n$. We conclude that…

Let $Y$ be a pointed space and let $\mathcal E(Y^r)$ be the group of based self-equivalences of $Y^r$, $r\geq 2$. For $Y$ a homotopy commutative $H$-group we construct a subgroup $\mathcal E_{\mathrm{Mat}}(Y^r)$ of $\mathcal E(Y^r)$ which…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for a weighted sum over cuspidal eigenvalues in a specific region, for $\SL_2$ over a totally real number field $F$, with discrete subgroup of Hecke type $\Gamma_0(I)$ for a non-zero ideal $I$ in the ring of…

Let $\Gamma$ denote the Hamming graph $H(D,r)$ with $r \geq 3$. Consider the distance matrices $\{A_i\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$, and consider the dual distance matrices $\{A_i^{*}\}_{i=0}^{D}$ of $\Gamma$ with…

For each finite classical group $G$, we classify the subgroups of $G$ which act transitively on a $G$-invariant set of subspaces of the natural module, where the subspaces are either totally isotropic or nondegenerate. Our proof uses the…

We construct classes of K\"ahler groups that do not have finite classifying spaces and are not commensurable to subdirect products of surface groups. Each of these groups is the fundamental group of the generic fibre of a holomorphic map…

We produce for each natural number $n \geq 3$ two 1--parameter families of Riemann surfaces admitting automorphism groups with two cyclic subgroups $H_{1}$ and $H_{2}$ of orden $2^{n}$, that are conjugate in the group of…

Path and boundary-path groupoids of finitely aligned higher-rank graphs are often constructed using either filters or graph morphisms. We generalise the graph morphism approach to finitely aligned P-graphs where (Q, P) is a weakly…

An erratum has been added to resolve an issue raised by Professor Derek Holt. This appears after the original paper, and also includes two new results. Original abstract: Houghton's groups $H_2, H_3, \ldots$ are certain infinite permutation…
