In this note we produce examples of outer automorphisms of finitely generated groups which have exotic behaviors in terms of growth of conjugacy classes.
We consider the problem of realizing a group as the fundamental group of a graph of groups where the vertex groups are restricted to certain classes (for example, coming from a certain finite list of groups, or having bounded geometric…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for finite semihypergroups to be built from groups of the same order are established
It has been a longstanding problem whether every amenable operator algebra is isomorphic to a (necessarily nuclear) C*-algebra. In this note, we give a nonseparable counterexample. The existence of a separable counterexample remains an open…
This paper completely determines the non-amenability of the mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces, the mapping class groups of locally finite infinite graphs of higher ranks, gives an example of non-amenable stabiliser of a point…
We give a characterization of limits of dihedral groups in the space of finitely generated marked groups. We also describe the topological closure of dihedral groups in the space of marked groups on a fixed number of generators.
We show that any finite group $G$ there exists a bijction $f$ from $G$ onto $C_{n}$ such that $o(x)$ divides $o(f(x))$ for all $x\in G$. This confirm Problem 18.1 in [7].
In this paper, we study several finite approximation properties of topological full groups of group actions on the Cantor set such that free points are dense. Firstly, we establish that for such a distal action $\alpha$ of a countable…
We classify finite groups with a small average number of zeros in the character table.
We prove that the existence of a selective ultrafilter implies the existence of a countably compact Hausdorff group topology on the free Abelian group of size continuum. As a consequence, we show that the existence of a selective…
It is proven that if $G$ is a finite group, then $G^\omega$ has $2^{\mathfrak c}$ dense nonmeasurable subgroups. Also, other examples of compact groups with dense nonmeasurable subgroups are presented.
We give two examples of a finitely generated subgroup of a free group and a subset, closed in the profinite topology of a free group, such that their product is not closed in the profinite topology of a free group.
We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing amenability…
We show that the group of bounded sequences of elements of $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt 2]$ is an example of an abelian group with several well known, and not so well known, pathological properties. It appears to be simpler than all previously known…
Every finite non-abelian group of order $n$ has a non-central element whose centralizer has order exceeding $n^{1/3}$. The proof does not rely on the classification of finite simple groups, yet it uses the Feit-Thompson theorem.
We introduce a refinement of bounded cohomology and prove that the suitable comparison homomorphisms vanish for an amenable group. We investigate in this context Thompson's group F and provide further evidence towards its amenability. We…
We construct new classes of self-similar groups : S-aritmetic groups, affine groups and metabelian groups. Most of the soluble ones are finitely presented and of type FP_{n} for appropriate n.
This is the first one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple linear groups.
We give a brief introduction to the notion of an 'approximate group' and some of its numerous applications.
We produce an example demonstrating that every finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group with respect to a collection of Hopfian subgroups need not be Hopfian. This answers a question of Osin \cite[Problem 5.5]{Osin} in the negative.
