We present a diagram surveying equivalence or strict implication for properties of different nature (algebraic, model theoretic, topological, etc.) about groups definable in o-minimal structures. All results are well-known and an extensive…

This paper deals with the number of subgroups of a given exponent in a finite abelian group. Explicit formulas are obtained in the case of rank two and rank three abelian groups. An asymptotic formula is also presented.

This is a survey of the existing literature, the state of the art, and a few minor new results and open questions regarding the essential dimension of central simple algebras and finite sequences of such algebras over fields whose…

We survey new results on finite groups of birational transformations of algebraic varieties.

A description is given of those sequences ${\Bbb S}= (S(0),S(1),\dots,S(l))$ of simple modules over a finite dimensional algebra for which there are only finitely many uniserial modules with consecutive composition factors…

Even though big mapping class groups are not countably generated, certain big mapping class groups can be generated by a coarsely bounded set and have a well defined quasi-isometry type. We show that the big mapping class group of a stable…

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.

The maximal finite abelian subgroups, up to conjugation, of the simple algebraic group of type E8 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are computed. This is equivalent to the determination of the fine gradings on the…

There are various notions of dimension in fractal geometry to characterise (random and non-random) subsets of $\mathbb R^d$. In this expository text, we discuss their analogues for infinite subsets of $\mathbb Z^d$ and, more generally, for…

We construct finitely generated simple torsion-free groups with strong homological control. Our main result is that every subset of $\mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$, with some obvious exceptions, can be realized as the set of dimensions of…

In this paper, we study the proportion of vanishing elements of finite groups. We show that the proportion of vanishing elements of every finite non-abelian group is bounded below by $1/2$ and classify all finite groups whose proportions of…

We prove that the complex surfaces parametrizing cuboids and face cuboids, as well as their minimal resolution of singularities, have trivial fundamental group. We then compute the fundamental group of certain open smooth subvarieties of…

The Borel complexity of the isomorphism problem for finite-rank unital simple dimension groups increases with rank. This implies that the isomorphism problems for the corresponding classes of Bratteli diagrams and LDA-groups also increase…

We compute the integral third homology of most of the sporadic finite simple groups and of their central extensions.

In this note, we investigate how different fundamental groups of presentations of a fixed algebra $A$ can be. For finitely many finitely presented groups $G_i$, we construct an algebra $A$ such that all $G_i$ appear as fundamental groups of…

For a finite group generated by involutions, the involution width is defined to be the minimal $k\in\mathbb{N}$ such that any group element can be written as a product of at most $k$ involutions. We show that the involution width of every…

We extend the notions of "$R_\infty$-property" and "full (extended) Reidemeister spectrum" to finite groups in a meaningful way. We provide examples of finite groups admitting these properties, if they exist, by looking at groups of small…

We establish several finiteness properties of groups defined by algebraic difference equations. One of our main results is that a subgroup of the general linear group defined by possibly infinitely many algebraic difference equations in the…

The small finitistic dimension $\fPD(R)$ of a ring $R$ is defined to be the supremum of projective dimensions of $R$-modules with finite projective resolutions. In this paper, we investigate the small finitistic dimensions of four types of…

In this PhD thesis we discuss methods of recognizing finite groups by the structure of normalizers of certain 3-subgroups. We explain a method for characterizing groups using character theoretic and block theoretic methods and we use these…
