Let $A$ be a commutative ring, and assume every non-trivial ideal of $A$ has finite-index. We show that if ${\rm{SL}}_n(A)$ has bounded elementary generation then every conjugation-invariant norm on it is either discrete or precompact. If…

In this paper, we study a certain extension of Nori's fundamental group in the case where a base field is of characteristic 0 and give structure theorems about it. As a result, for a smooth projective curve with genus $g$>1, we prove that…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$ with $q$ elements. For $m\geq 1,$ let $X_m$ be the curve $X$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_m$, the $m$-th extension of $\mathbb{F}.$ Let $K_n(m)$ be the $K$-group…

In this paper, the complete algebraic structure of finite semisimple group algebra of a normally monomial group is described. The main result is illustrated by computing the explicit Wedderburn decomposition of finite semisimple group…

Motivated by the results of Scott and Patel about "untangling" closed geodesics in finite covers of hyperbolic surfaces, we introduce and study primitivity, simplicity and non-filling index functions for finitely generated free groups. We…

For a quasi-projective scheme $X$ admitting a smooth compactification over a local field of residue characteristic $p > 0$, we construct a continuous reciprocity homomorphism from a tame class group to the abelian tame etale fundamental…

Let $G$ be the semidirect product $\Gamma \rtimes F_2$ where $\Gamma$ is either the free group $F_n$, $n > 1$ or the fundamental group $S_g$ of a closed surface of genus $g > 1$. We prove that $G$ is incoherent, solving two problems posed…

It is a classical result of Powell that pure mapping class groups of connected, orientable surfaces of finite type and genus at least three are perfect. In stark contrast, we construct nontrivial homomorphisms from infinite-genus mapping…

Answering a question of Dan Haran and generalizing some results of Aschbacher-Guralnick and Suzuki, we prove that given a set of primes pi, any finite group can be generated by a pi-subgroup and a pi'-subgroup. This gives a free product…

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…

The aim of the paper and of a wider project is to translate main notions of anabelian geometry into the language of model theory. Here we finish with giving the definition of the \'etale fundamental group $\pi^{et}_1(X,x)$ of a non-singular…

Let $S$ be either a free group or the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface. We show that if $G$ is a finitely generated residually-$p$ group with the same pro-$p$ completion as $S$, then two-generated subgroups of $G$ are free.…

A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…

The first author has recently shown that semisimple algebraic groups are classified up to motivic equivalence by the local versions of the classical Tits indexes over field extensions, known as Tits p-indexes. We provide in this article the…

This paper investigates the projective closure of simplicial affine semigroups in $\mathbb{N}^{d}$, $d \geq 2$. We present a characterization of the Cohen-Macaulay property for the projective closure of these semigroups using Gr\"{o}bner…

We establish that, under certain closure assumptions on a pseudovariety of semigroups, the corresponding relatively free profinite semigroups freely generated by a non-singleton finite set act faithfully on their minimum ideals. As…

Lasell and Ramachandran show that the existence of rational curves of positive self-intersection on a smooth projective surface $X$ implies that all the finite dimensional linear representations of the fundamental group $\pi_1(X)$ are…

We consider the problem of deciding if a group is the fundamental group of a smooth connected complex quasi-projective (or projective) variety using Alexander-based invariants. In particular, we solve the problem for large families of…

If F is a surface with boundary, then a finitely generated subgroup without peripheral elements of G = {\pi}_1(F) can be separated from finitely many other elements of G by a finite index subgroup of G corresponding to a finite cover F'…

In this article, we study monomial curves, toric ideals and monomial algebras associated to $4$-generated pseudo symmetric numerical semigroups. Namely, we determine indispensable binomials of these toric ideals, give a characterization for…
