This paper targets to generalize the notion of Hopfian groups in the commutative case by defining the so-called {\bf relatively Hopfian groups} and {\bf weakly Hopfian groups}, and establishing some their crucial properties and…

In this article we formulate a version of the analytic Novikov conjecture for semigroups rather than groups, and show that the descent argument from coarse geometry generalises effectively to this new situation.

In 1878, Jordan proved that if a finite group $G$ has a faithful representation of dimension $n$ over $\mathbb{C}$, then $G$ has a normal abelian subgroup with index bounded above by a function of $n$. The same result fails if one replaces…

A special case of a conjecture raised by Forrest and Runde (Math. Zeit., 2005) asserts that the Fourier algebra of every non-abelian connected Lie group fails to be weakly amenable; this was aleady known to hold in the non-abelian compact…

Groups definable in simple theories retain the chain conditions and decomposition properties known from stable groups, up to commensurability. In the small case, if a generic type of G is not foreign to some type q, there is a q-internal…

A group is $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if every non-identity element is contained in a generating pair. A conjecture of Breuer, Guralnick and Kantor from 2008 asserts that a finite group is $\frac{3}{2}$-generated if and only if every proper…

Relying on the techniques and ideas from our recent paper [13], we prove several anti-classification results for various rigidity conditions in countable abelian and nilpotent groups. We prove three main theorems: (1) the rigid abelian…

Let $f$ be a cuspidal newform and $p \geq 3$ a prime such that the associated $p$-adic Galois representation has large image. We establish a new and refined "Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer type" formula for Bloch-Kato Selmer groups of the…

We identify the simple algebraic groups over number fields that are, in a suitable sense, determined by their finite adele points. Assuming CSP and Grothendieck rigidity, our results essentially characterize higher rank arithmetic groups…

Let $\ell$ be a prime number. We show that the Morita Frobenius number of an $\ell$-block of a quasi-simple finite group is at most 4 and that the strong Frobenius number is at most $4|D|^2!$, where D denotes a defect group of the block. We…

Affine difference algebraic groups are a generalization of affine algebraic groups obtained by replacing algebraic equations with algebraic difference equations. We show that the isomorphism theorems from abstract group theory have…

We prove that if G is a sufficiently large finite almost simple group of Lie type, then given a fixed nontrivial element x in G and a coset of G modulo its socle, the probability that x and a random element of the coset generate a subgroup…

Every finite simple group can be generated by two elements, and in 2000, Guralnick and Kantor resolved a 1962 question of Steinberg by proving that in a finite simple group every nontrivial element belongs to a generating pair. Groups with…
