Let K be a finite extension of Q_p with residue field F_q and let P(T) = T^d + a_{d-1}T^{d-1} + ... +a_1 T, where d is a power of q and a_i is in the maximal ideal of K for all i. Let u_0 be a uniformizer of O_K and let {u_n}_{n \geq 0} be…

In this paper, we construct a class of $2$-dimensional formal groups over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ that provide a higher-dimensional analogue of the usual $1$-dimensional Lubin-Tate formal groups, then we initiate the study of the extensions…

We show the connection between the relative Dehn function of a finitely generated metabelian group and the distortion function of a corresponding subgroup in the wreath product of two free abelian groups of finite rank. Further, we show…

We discuss a practical algorithm to compute parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. As an application we compute Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which are needed to evaluate a character formula for reductive groups due to Lusztig. Some…

We build two non-abelian CSA-groups in which maximal abelian subgroups are conjugate and divisible.

We consider strong expansions of the theory of ordered abelian groups. We show that the assumption of strength has a multitude of desirable consequences for the structure of definable sets in such theories, in particular as relates to…

The Addition Theorem for the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms of torsion abelian groups was proved in [4]. Later, this result was extended to all abelian groups [3] and, recently, to all torsion finitely quasihamiltonian groups [7].…

We study analytic properties of graph product of finite groups with a hyperbolic defining graph. This is done by studying dynamics on the Bowditch compactification of the extension graph, or the crossing graph, of graph product. In…

A group is called metahamiltonian if all non-abelian subgroups of it are normal. This concept is a natural generation of Hamiltonian groups. In this paper, a complete classification of finite metahamiltonian $p$-groups is given.

We give a classification of maximal elements of the set of finite groups that can be realized as the automorphism groups of polarized abelian threefolds over finite fields.

Given a reduced abelian $p$-group, we give an upper bound on the Scott complexity of the group in terms of its Ulm invariants. For limit ordinals, we show that this upper bound is tight. This gives an explicit sequence of such groups with…

The strong isomorphism classes of extensions of finite groups are parametrized by orbits of a prescribed action on the second cohomology group. We study these orbits in the case of extensions of a finite abelian $p$-group by a cyclic factor…

For a cardinal k, generalizing a recent result of Comfort and van Mill, we prove that every k-pseudocompact abelian group of weight >k has some proper dense k-pseudocompact subgroup and admits some strictly finer k-pseudocompact group…

This work generalizes the theory of arithmetic local constants, introduced by Mazur and Rubin, to better address abelian varieties with a larger endomorphism ring than $\mathbb{Z}$. We then study the growth of the $p^\infty$-Selmer rank of…

Known and new results on free Boolean topological groups are collected. An account of properties which these groups share with free or free Abelian topological groups and properties specific of free Boolean groups is given. Special emphasis…

We show that the standard set of elementary generators of an elementary isotropic reductive group over a connected finitely generated ring is a Kazhdan subset. This generalizes the corresponding result of M. Ershov, A. Jaikin-Zapirain, and…

We construct a family of simple, lacunary hyperbolic groups with property $(T)$ that have rational cohomological dimension~$16$ and whose second $\ell^2$-Betti number can be prescribed to be any positive real. Moreover, we construct…

We construct the first examples of infinite sharply 2-transitive groups which are finitely generated. Moreover, we construct such a group that has Kazhdan property (T), is simple, has exactly four conjugacy classes, and we show that this…

We extend the concepts of antimorphism and antiautomorphism of the additive group of integers modulo $n$, given by Gaitanas Konstantinos, to abelian groups. We give a lower bound for the number of antiautomorphisms of cyclic groups of odd…

A variety of groups does not contain all metabelian groups if and only if there is an absolute bound for the nilpotency classes of powerful $p$-groups in the given variety. Similarly, a variety contains only finitely many finite $p$-groups…
