Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $A(\Gamma)$ be its adjacency matrix. Then $\Gamma$ is {\it singular} if $A(\Gamma)$ is singular. The singularity of graphs is of certain interest in graph theory and algebraic combinatorics. Here we…

This paper studies intersections of principal blocks of a finite group with respect to different primes. We first define the block graph of a finite group $G$, whose vertices are the prime divisors of $|G|$ and there is an edge between two…

In this paper a Bass-Serre theory in the groupoid setting is developed and a structure theorem is established. Any groupoid action without inversion of edges on a forest induces a graph of groupoids, while any graph of groupoids satisfying…

For suitable subgroups of a finitely generated group, we define the intersection number of one subgroup with another subgroup and show that this number is symmetric. We also give an interpretation of this number.

We show that if a Heegaard splitting is the result of stabilizing a high distance Heegaard splitting exactly once then its mapping class group is finitely generated.

We construct small cancellation labellings for some infinite sequences of finite graphs of bounded degree. We use them to define infinite graphical small cancellation presentations of groups. This technique allows us to provide examples of…

The aim of this small note is to prove an elementary yet useful properties of finitely presented groups. Let G be a finitely generated group with one end. Fix a (finite) generating set and let $B_n$ be the ball of radius $n$ around $e$. Let…

In this paper we study CAT(0) groups and their splittings as graphs of groups. For one-ended CAT(0) groups with isolated flats we prove a theorem characterizing exactly when the visual boundary is locally connected. This characterization…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group, $X$ a generically free $G$-variety, and $K=k(X)^G$. A field extension $L$ of $K$ is called a splitting field of $X$ if the image of the class of $X$ under the natural map $H^1(K, G) \mapsto H^1(L, G)$ is…

We consider infinite connected quasi-transitive locally finite graphs and show that every such graph with more than one end is a tree amalgamation of two other such graphs. This can be seen as a graph-theoretical version of Stallings'…

We study the structure of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups from the point of view of their (usually non-unique) splittings as fundamental groups of graphs of infinite cyclic groups. We find and characterize certain decompositions of…

In the first, mostly expository, part of this paper, a graded Lie algebra is associated to every group G given with an N-series of subgroups. The asymptotics of the Poincare series of this algebra give estimates on the growth of the group…

The basic idea of quantum complexity geometry is to endow the space of unitary matrices with a metric, engineered to make complex operators far from the origin, and simple operators near. By restricting our attention to a finite subgroup of…

Considering a clique as a conservative definition of community structure, we examine how graph partitioning algorithms interact with cliques. Many popular community-finding algorithms partition the entire graph into non-overlapping…

In this paper, we build on recent results by Chauve et al. (2014) and Bahrani and Lumbroso (2017), which combined the split-decomposition, as exposed by Gioan and Paul, with analytic combinatorics, to produce new enumerative results on…

We prove that the invariably generating graph of a finite group can have an arbitrarily large number of connected components with at least two vertices.

In the symmetric group Sym(n) with n at least 5 let H be a conjugacy class of elements of order 2 and let \Gamma be the Cayley graph whose vertex set is the group G generated by H (so G is Sym(n) or Alt(n)) and whose edge set is determined…

We show that for some absolute (explicit) constant $C$, the following holds for every finitely generated group $G$, and all $d >0$: If there is some $ R_0 > \exp(\exp(Cd^C))$ for which the number of elements in a ball of radius $R_0$ in a…

Let $\C$ be a variety of finite groups. We use profinite Bass--Serre theory to show that if $u:H\hookrightarrow G$ is a map of finitely generated residually $\C$ groups such that the induced map $\hat{u}:\hat{H}\rightarrow\hat{G}$ is a…

We prove several criteria for quasi-isometry between non-locally-finite graphs and their structure trees. Results of M\"oller in \cite{moeller92ends2} for locally finite and transitive graphs are generalized. We also give a criterion which…
