We study groups, exponential groups and ordered groups equipped with valuations. We investigate algebraic and topological features of such valued structures, and apply our findings in order to solve regular equations over groups using…
The geometric and algebraic theory of valuations on cones is applied to understand identities involving summing certain rational functions over the set of linear extensions of a poset.
We give a characterization of connected solvable groups in terms of the existence of representations with certain geometric properties. The existence of such representations for the group of upper triangular matrices played an important…
This article is the second part in the series of articles where we are developing theory of valuations on manifolds. Roughly speaking valuations could be thought as finitely additive measures on a class of nice subsets of a manifold which…
We study algebraic, combinatorial and topological properties of the set of preorders on a group, and the set of valuations on a field. We show strong analogies between these two kinds of sets and develop a dictionary for these ones. Among…
An overview of some of the recent developments in the theory of valuations on convex sets and its generalizations to manifolds is given. The exposition is focused towards applications to integral geometry; several of such applications are…
We introduced the concept of a metric value set (MVS) in an earlier paper \cite{GM}. In this paper we study the algebraic structure of MVSs. For an MVS $M$ we define the concept of $M$-metrizability of a topological space and prove some…
We recall the space of seminorms discussed by Payne in \cite{P} and define a slight modification, the space of graded valuations. After explaining how these spaces relate to tropical geometry, we describe examples of graded valuations which…
An idea to present a classical Lie group of positive dimension by generators and relations sounds dubious, but happens to be fruitful. The isometry groups of classical geometries admit elegant and useful presentations by generators and…
In this article we discuss some applications of the construction of the Ap\'ery set of a good semigroup in $\mathbb{N}^d$ given in the previous paper [Partition of the complement of good semigroup ideals and Ap\'ery sets, Communications in…
A brief introduction to geometric valuation theory is given. The focus is on classification results for valuations on convex bodies and on function spaces.
Recently, we have endowed various categories of groups with topologies. The purpose of this paper is to introduce on these categories others topologies which are statistically more suitable to study well-known problems in groups theory. We…
We study homomorphisms of multiplicative groups of fields preserving algebraic dependence and show that such homomorphisms give rise to valuations.
We describe various structures of algebraic nature on the space of continuous valuations on convex sets, their properties (like versions of Poincar\'e duality and hard Lefschetz theorem), and their relations and applications to integral…
We introduce the concept of a strongly t-logarithmic t-generating set for a Z[t,t^{-1}]-module, which enables us to prove that a large class of soluble groups are not almost convex. We also prove some results about dead-end depth.
Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
This is the fourth part in the series of articles math.MG/0503397, math.MG/0503399, math.MG/0509512 where the theory of valuations on manifolds is developed. In this part it is shown that the filtration on valuations introduced in…
In a recent paper, two multi-representations for the measurable sets in a computable measure space have been introduced, which prove to be topologically complete w.r.t. certain topological properties. In this contribution, we show them…
We study the Ap\'ery set of good subsemigoups of $\mathbb N^2$, a class of semigroups containing the value semigroups of curve singularities with two branches. Even if this set in infinite, we show that, for the Ap\'ery set of such…
The concept of configuration was first introduced by Rosenblatt and Willis to give a characterization for the amenability of groups. We show that group properties of being soluble or FC can be characterized by configuration sets. Then we…
