In this article, we prove that if a finitely presented group has an asymptotic cone which is tree-graded with respect to a precise set of pieces then it is relatively hyperbolic. This answers a question of M. Sapir.

For any irreducible character $\chi$ of a finite group $G$, let $\theta(\chi)$ denote the proportion of elements $g\in G$ for which $\chi(g)$ is either zero or a root of unity. Then for any $L\in[1/2,1]$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists…

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 prove that a finitely generated group contains a sequence of non-trivial elements which converge to the identity in every compact homomorphic image if and only if the group is not virtually abelian.

Let M be a closed connected manifold. Let m(M) be the Morse number of M, that is, the minimal number of critical points of a Morse function on M. Let N be a finite cover of M of degree d. M.Gromov posed the following question: what are the…

We consider the proportion of zero entries in the character table of a sequence of reductive groups over a finite field. We prove an asymptotic lower bound when the reductive group is fixed and the size of the finite field increases.…

We prove that random groups in the Gromov density model at density d <1/4 do not have Property (T), answering a conjecture of Przytycki. We also prove similar results in the k-angular model of random groups.

We examine asymptotic dimension and property A for groups acting on complexes. In particular, we prove that the fundamental group of a finite, developable complex of groups will have finite asymptotic dimension provided the geometric…

We prove that there exists a positive, explicit function $F(k, E)$ such that, for any group $G$ admitting a $k$-acylindrical splitting and any generating set $S$ of $G$ with $\mathrm{Ent}(G,S)<E$, we have $|S| \leq F(k, E)$. We deduce…

Using a recent breakthrough of Smith, we improve the results of Fouvry and Kl\"uners on the solubility of the negative Pell equation. Let $\mathcal{D}$ denote the set of fundamental discriminants having no prime factors congruent to $3$…

We show that any group with arbitrarily large finite quotients admits generating sets with respect to which it has arbitrarily large finite dead-end depth. This extends a joint result with Riley and partially answers a question asked there.

For exponential mappings such that the orbit of the only singular value 0 is bounded, it is shown that no integrable density invariant under the dynamics exists on the complex plane.

We show for a free action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a finite-dimensional, compact metric space by homeomorphisms that the dynamic asymptotic dimension is either infinite or coincides with the asymptotic dimension of $\Gamma$.

We characterize which residue classes contain infinitely many totients (values of Euler's function) and which do not. We show that the union of all residue classes that are totient-free has asymptotic density 3/4, that is, almost all…

This article is focused on the asymptotic expansions, as time tends to infinity, of solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations with non-smooth nonlinear terms. The forcing function decays to zero in a very complicated but…

We prove the asymptotic formulas for the transition densities of isotropic unimodal convolution semigroups of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ under the assumption that its L\'{e}vy--Khintchine exponent is regularly varying of index…

We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…

The asymptotic behaviour is studied of exponentially bounded sequences of codimensions of identities of algebras with unity. A series of algebras is constructed for which the base of the exponential increases by exactly one when an outer…

Given $d\geq 2$ and two rooted $d$-ary trees $D$ and $T$ such that $D$ has $k$ leaves, the density $\gamma(D,T)$ of $D$ in $T$ is the proportion of all $k$-element subsets of leaves of $T$ that induce a tree isomorphic to $D$, after erasing…

A 1-ended finitely presented group has semistable fundamental group at $\infty$ if it acts geometrically on some (equivalently any) simply connected and locally finite complex $X$ with the property that any two proper rays in $X$ are…
