Let $\mathcal{T}$ denote the class of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups. For a group $G$ let $F(G)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of finite quotients of $G$. Pickel proved that if $G \in \mathcal{T}$, then the set…

In this article, we study the fixed-point subgroups of the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\BS(1,n)= \langle a, t \mid t a t^{-1} = a^{n} \rangle$, $n>1$ of automorphisms and endomorphisms. We also investigate the stabilizers of subgroups…

We show the homology of the Hurwitz space associated to an arbitrary finite rack stabilizes integrally in a suitable sense. We also compute the dominant part of its stable homology after inverting finitely many primes. This proves a…

We show that a finitely generated subgroup of the genus two handlebody group is stable if and only if the orbit map to the disk graph is a quasi-isometric embedding. To this end, we prove that the genus two handlebody group is a…

In this paper we prove that the homological dimension of an elementary amenable group over an arbitrary commutative coefficient ring is either infinite or equal to the Hirsch length of the group. Established theory gives simple group…

We establish an entropy rigidity theorem for Hitchin representations of all geometrically finite Fuchsian groups which generalizes a theorem of Potrie and Sambarino for Hitchin representations of closed surface groups. In the process, we…

The surface Houghton groups $\mathcal{H}_{n}$ are a family of groups generalizing Houghton groups $H_n$, which are constructed as asymptotically rigid mapping class groups. We give a complete computation of the BNSR-invariants…

In this work we study some examples of groups definable and type-definable in NSOP1 theories. We exhibit some behaviors of these groups that differ from the ones of simple groups. We take interest in the notions of generics and stabilizers,…

Guralnick, Kunyavskii, Plotkin and Shalev have shown that the solvable radical of a finite group $G$ can be characterized as the set of all $x\in G$ such that $<x,y>$ is solvable for all $y\in G$. We prove two generalizations of this…

We prove that every finitely generated, virtually solvable minimax group can be expressed as a homomorphic image of a virtually torsion-free, virtually solvable minimax group. This result enables us to generalize a theorem of Ch. Pittet and…

Given an imaginary quadratic extension $K$ of $\mathbb Q$, we classify the maximal nonelementary subgroups of the Picard modular group $\operatorname{PU}(1,2;\mathcal O_K)$ preserving a totally real totally geodesic plane in the complex…

Let $D_n$ be the dihedral group with $2n$ elements, and suppose $n$ is greater than one. We call ring system a finite $D_n$-symmetric set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Ring systems have been used as models for planets surrounded by rings,…

A standard way of approximating or discretizing a metric space is by taking its Rips complexes. These approximations for all parameters are often bound together into a filtration, to which we apply the fundamental group or the first…

We prove a homological stability theorem for the subgroup of the mapping class group acting as the identity on some fixed portion of the first homology group of the surface. We also prove a similar theorem for the subgroup of the mapping…

In this paper, we prove that the slowly-rotating Kerr-de Sitter family of black holes are linearly stable as a family of solutions to the Einstein vacuum equations with $\Lambda>0$ in harmonic (wave) gauge. This article is part of a series…

Let $K$ be a field and $f:\mathbb{P}^N \to \mathbb{P}^N$ a morphism. There is a natural conjugation action on the space of such morphisms by elements of the projective linear group $\text{PGL}_{N+1}$. The group of automorphisms, or…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a partition of a finite set $X$. We say that a full transformation $f:X\to X$ preserves (or stabilizes) the partition $\mathcal{P}$ if for all $P\in \mathcal{P}$ there exists $Q\in \mathcal{P}$ such that $Pf\subseteq…

We consider faithful actions of simple algebraic groups on self-dual irreducible modules, and on the associated varieties of totally singular subspaces, under the assumption that the dimension of the group is at least as large as the…

We study Hurwitz spaces with regard to homological stabilization. By a Hurwitz space, we mean a moduli space of branched, not necessarily connected coverings of a disk with fixed structure group and number of branch points. We choose a…

This article is dedicated to the study of diagonal hyperbolic systems in one space dimension, with cumulative distribution functions, or more generally nonconstant monotonic bounded functions, as initial data. Under a uniform strict…
