We prove that the irreducible affine Coxeter groups are first-order rigid and deduce from this that they are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense. We then show that the first-order theory of any irreducible affine Coxeter group does not…

We show that if a group is not virtually cyclic and is hyperbolic relative to a family of proper subgroups, then it has a hyperbolically embedded subgroup which contains a finitely generated non-abelian free group as a finite index…

For every finitely generated free group $F$, we construct an irreducible open $3$-manifold $M_F$ whose end set is homeomorphic to a Cantor set, and with the end homogeneity group of $M_F$ isomorphic to $F$. The end homogeneity group is the…

In this note, we prove that a random extension of either the free group $F_N$ of rank $N\ge3$ or of the fundamental group of a closed, orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g\ge2$ is a hyperbolic group. Here, a random extension is one…

We study the groups of rational points of abelian varieties defined over a finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q$ whose endomorphism rings are commutative, or, equivalently, whose isogeny classes are determined by squarefree characteristic…

Using the canonical JSJ splitting, we describe the outer automorphism group $\Out(G)$ of a one-ended word hyperbolic group $G$. In particular, we discuss to what extent $\Out(G)$ is virtually a direct product of mapping class groups and a…

Let $G$ be a group and $g$ a non-trivial element in $G$. If some non-empty finite product of conjugates of $g$ equals to the trivial element, then $g$ is called a generalized torsion element. To the best of our knowledge, we have no…

Let $q$ be a prime and $A$ an elementary abelian $q$-group acting as a coprime group of automorphisms on a profinite group $G$. We show that if $A$ is of order $q^2$ and some power of each element in $C_G(a)$ is Engel in $G$ for any $a\in…

We introduce the pseudovariety of finite groups $\mathbf{U} = \displaystyle\bigvee_{p \in \mathbb{P}} {\bf Ab}(p) \ast {\bf Ab}(p-1)$, where $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of all primes. We show that $\mathbf{U}$ consists of all finite…

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…

For every $n \geq 1$, let $(\mathrm{FW}_n)$ denote the fixed-point property for median graphs of cubical dimension $n$ (or equivalently, for CAT(0) cube complexes of dimension $n$). In this article, we construct explicit examples of groups…

We construct an uncountable sequence of groups acting uniformly properly on hyperbolic spaces. We show that only countably many of these groups can be virtually torsion-free. This gives new examples of groups acting uniformly properly on…

A celebrated result of J. Thompson says that if a finite group $G$ has a fixed-point-free automorphism of prime order, then $G$ is nilpotent. The main purpose of this note is to extend this result to finite inverse semigroups. An earlier…

We prove that for arbitrary two finitely generated subgroups A and B having infinite index in a free group F, there is a subgroup H of finite index in B such that the subgroup generated by A and H has infinite index in F. The main corollary…

We show that the torsion-free rank of $H_i(M, \mathbb{Z}_p)$ has finite upper bound for $i \leq m$, where $M$ runs through the pro-$p$ subgroups of finite index in a pro-$p$ group $G$ that is (nilpotent of class $c$)-by-abelian such that $…

We show that every virtually torsion-free subgroup of the outer automorphism group of a conjugacy separable relatively hyperbolic group is residually finite. As a direct consequence, we obtain that the outer automorphism group of a limit…

Let $F$ be a nilpotent group acted on by a group $H$ via automorphisms and let the group $G$ admit the semidirect product $FH$ as a group of automorphisms so that $C_G(F) = 1$. We prove that the order of $\gamma_\infty(G)$, the rank of…

We say that a finite group $G$ satisfies the independence property if, for every pair of distinct elements $x$ and $y$ of $G$, either $\{x,y\}$ is contained in a minimal generating set for $G$ or one of $x$ and $y$ is a power of the other.…

This paper aims to investigate the self-similarity property in finitely-generated torsion-free nilpotent groups. We establish connections between geometric equivalence and self-similarity in these groups. Moreover, we show that any…

We introduce a combinatorial criterion for verifying whether a formula is not the conjunction of an equation and a co-equation. Using this, we give a proof for the nonequationality of the free group. Furthermore, we generalize the latter…
