We say that a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ is self-simulable if every effectively closed action of $\Gamma$ on a closed subset of $\{\texttt{0},\texttt{1}\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ is the topological factor of a $\Gamma$-subshift of finite type.…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group of matrices over $\mathbb{C}$. We construct an isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a complete CAT(0) space $X$ such that the restriction of this action to any subgroup of $\Gamma$ containing no…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group acting properly discontinuously by isometries on a visibility CAT(0) space $X$ that satisfies the bounded packing property. We prove that $\Gamma$ satisfies the Tits alternative: it is either…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $X$ be a minimal compact $\Gamma$-space. We assume that the $\Gamma$-action is micro-supported, i.e. for every non-empty open subset $U \subseteq X$, there is an element of $\Gamma$ acting…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$, and $Z_G=\mathbb{Z}\langle\zeta_{i,g}\mid g\in G,\ i=1,2,\dots,n\rangle$ be the free generic algebra, with canonical action of $G$ according to $(\zeta_{i,g})^x=\zeta_{i,x^{-1}g}$. It is proved that…

This paper gives a new explicit construction of the $\mathbb{Q}$-algebraic hull for virtually solvable groups $\Gamma$ of finite abelian ranks, taking into account the spectrum $S$ of the group $\Gamma$. As an application, we make a…

In this paper we further study links between concentration of measure in topological transformation groups, existence of fixed points, and Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces. We prove that whenever the group $\Iso(\U)$ of isometries of…

Given a $p$-adic group $G$ equipped with an action of a finite group $\Gamma\subset\mathrm{Aut}_F(\mathbf{G})$, and a reductive fixed-point subgroup $G^\Gamma$, we establish a relationship between constructions of types for these two groups…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated torsion-free group. We show that the statement of $\Gamma$ being virtually abelian is equivalent to the statement that the $*$-regular closure of the group ring $\mathbb{C}[\Gamma]$ in the algebra of…

A finitely generated group $G$ is said to be condensed if its isomorphism class in the space of finitely generated marked groups has no isolated points. We prove that every product variety $\mathcal{UV}$, where $\mathcal{U}$ (respectively,…

Let $\mathcal G$ denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. For any finitely generated group $G$, we construct a continuous, injective map $f$ from the space of subgroups $Sub(G)$ to $\mathcal G$ that sends conjugate subgroups to…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated torsion free nilpotent group, and let $A^\omega$ be the space of infinite words over a finite alphabet $A$. We investigate two types of self-similar actions of $\Gamma$ on $A^\omega$, namely the…

We show that every finitely generated residually finite torsion group $G$ embeds in a finitely generated torsion group $\Gamma$ that is residually finite simple. In particular we show the existence of finitely generated infinite torsion…

We establish a $q$-analog of our recent work on vertex representations and the McKay correspondence. For each finite group $\Gamma$ we construct a Fock space and associated vertex operators in terms of wreath products of $\Gamma\times…

The quantum completion of the space of connections in a manifold can be seen as the set of all morphisms from the groupoid of the edges of the manifold to the (compact) gauge group. This algebraic construction generalizes an analogous…

It is shown that, given any finite dimensional, split basic algebra $\Lambda = K\Gamma/I$ (where $\Gamma$ is a quiver and $I$ an admissible ideal in the path algebra $K \Gamma$), there is a finite list of affine algebraic varieties, the…

Given an action of a group $\Gamma$ on a measure space $\Omega$, we provide a sufficient criterion under which two sets $A, B\subseteq \Omega$ are measurably equidecomposable, i.e., $A$ can be partitioned into finitely many measurable…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of type $G_2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$. We give an example of a finite group $\Gamma$ with Sylow $2$-subgroup $\Gamma_2$ and an infinite family of pairwise non-conjugate…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group equipped with a symmetric and nondegenerate probability measure $\mu$ with finite second moment, and $Y$ a CAT(0) space which is either proper or of finite telescopic dimension. We show that if an…

This work provides an effective algorithm for distinguishing finite quotients between two non-isomorphic finitely generated Fuchsian groups $\Gamma$ and $\Lambda$. It will suffice to take a finite quotient which is abelian, dihedral, a…
