We show that a principal G bundle on a smooth projective curve over a finite field is strongly semistable if and only if it is defined by a representation of the fundamental group scheme of the curve into G.

We study coarse separation in one-ended hyperbolic groups from a quantitative point of view, focusing on the volume growth of separating subsets. We prove that a one-ended hyperbolic group that is not virtually a surface group is coarsely…

Let G be a finite group. Denoting by cd(G) the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of G, we consider the character degree graph of G: this is the (simple undirected) graph whose vertices are the prime divisors of the…

We show that many 3-manifold groups have no nonabelian surface subgroups. For example, any link of an isolated complex surface singularity has this property. In fact, we determine the exact class of closed graph-manifolds which have no…

We discuss the applications of fundamental groups (of complements of curves) computations (and possibly the computations of the second homotopy group as a model over it) to the classification of algebraic surface. We prove that the…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups with infinite cyclic edge groups to be acylindrically hyperbolic, from which it follows that a finitely generated group splitting over Z…

In this note we prove that any closed graph manifold admitting a metric of non-positive sectional curvature (NPC-metric) has a finite cover, which is fibered over the circle. An explicit criterion to have a finite cover, which is fibered…

This note is an attempt to generalize Bolibruch's theorem from the projective line to curves of higher genus. We show that an irreducible representation of the fundamental group of an open in a curve of higher genus has always a…

One can embed arbitrarily many disjoint, non-parallel, non-boundary parallel, incompressible surfaces in any three manifold with at least one boundary component of genus two or greater [4]. This paper proves the contrasting, but not…

We give a sufficient condition under which the fundamental group of a reglued graph of surfaces is hyperbolic. A reglued graph of surfaces is constructed by cutting a fixed graph of surfaces along the edge surfaces, then regluing by…

Suppose n>2, let M,M' be n-dimensional connected complete finite-volume hyperbolic manifolds with non-empty geodesic boundary, and suppose that the fundamental group of M is quasi-isometric to the fundamental group of M' (with respect to…

Let $A$ be a finite commutative ring with unity $1 \neq 0.$ An ideal of $A$ is said to be essential if it has a non-zero intersection with every non-zero ideal of $A.$ The essential graph of $A$ is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set…

A group $G$ is said to satisfy the finitely generated intersection property (f.g.i.p.) if the intersection of any two finitely generated subgroups of $G$ is again finitely generated. The aim of this article is to understand when the…

We show that double cosets of the infinite symmetric group with respect to some special subgroups admit natural structures of semigroups. We interpret elements of such semigroups in combinatorial terms (chips, colored graphs,…

We investigate the geometry of the graphs of nonseparating curves for surfaces of finite positive genus with potentially infinitely many punctures. This graph has infinite diameter and is known to be Gromov hyperbolic by work of the author.…

Partial duality generalizes the fundamental concept of the geometric dual of an embedded graph. A partial dual is obtained by forming the geometric dual with respect to only a subset of edges. While geometric duality preserves the genus of…

Let $\Gamma$ be an undirected and simple graph. A set $ S $ of vertices in $\Gamma$ is called a {cyclic vertex cutset} of $\Gamma$ if $\Gamma - S$ is disconnected and has at least two components each containing a cycle. If $\Gamma$ has a…

Suppose that $X$ is an infinite, connected, locally finite, quasi-transitive graph with the property that every bi-infinite quasi-geodesic uniformly coarsely separates $X$ into exactly two deep pieces. We show that such an $X$ is…

Let $$1 \to H \to G \to Q \to 1$$ be an exact sequence where $H= \pi_1(S)$ is the fundamental group of a closed surface $S$ of genus greater than one, $G$ is hyperbolic and $Q$ is finitely generated free. The aim of this paper is to provide…

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.
