We study the regularity of several languages derived from conjugacy classes in a finitely generated group G for a variety of examples including word hyperbolic, virtually abelian, Artin, and Garside groups. We also determine the rationality…
In this second paper we solve the twisted conjugacy problem for even dihedral Artin groups, that is, groups with presentation $G(m) = \langle a,b \mid {}_{m}(a,b) = {}_{m}(b,a) \rangle$, where $m \geq 2$ is even, and $_{m}(a,b)$ is the word…
We prove using a novel random matrix model that all right-angled Artin groups have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that strongly converge to the regular representation. We deduce that this result applies also to:…
We establish some new cases of Artin's conjecture. Our results apply to Galois representations over $\Q$ with image $S_5$ satisfying certain local hypotheses, the most important of which is that complex conjugation is conjugate to…
We introduce the notion of metrically systolic simplicial complexes. We study geometric and large-scale properties of such complexes and of groups acting on them geometrically. We show that all two-dimensional Artin groups act geometrically…
From the generalized Riemann hypothesis for motivic L-functions, we derive an effective version of the Sato-Tate conjecture for an abelian variety A defined over a number field k with connected Sato-Tate group. By effective we mean that we…
In this doctoral thesis, we will determine the image of Artin groups associated to all finite irreducible Coxeter groups inside their associated finite Iwahori-Hecke algebra. This was done in type $A$ by Brunat, Magaard and Marin. The…
We provide an explicit construction that allows one to easily decompose a graph braid group as a graph of groups. This allows us to compute the braid groups of a wide range of graphs, as well as providing two general criteria for a graph…
We formulate several variants of a conjecture relating the arithmetic degree of certain hermitian fibre bundles with the values of the logarithmic derivative of Artin's L-functions at negative integers. This generalizes conjectures by…
Periodic elements in finite type Artin--Tits groups are elements some positive power of which is central. We give a dynamical characterisation of periodic elements via their action on the corresponding 2-Calabi--Yau category and on its…
We relate the Andrews-Curtis conjecture to the triviality problem for balanced presentations of groups using algorithms from 3-manifold topology. Implementing this algorithm could lead to counterexamples to the Andrews-Curtis conjecture.
We develop a theory of \emph{strongly quasiconvex subgroups} of an arbitrary finitely generated group. Strong quasiconvexity generalizes quasiconvexity in hyperbolic groups and is preserved under quasi-isometry. We show that strongly…
We prove the factorization conjecture for triple-product $p$-adic $L$-functions formulated in a companion article in the special case when two of the (three) factors have complex multiplication.
We provide a new condition for an absolutely almost simple algebraic group to have good reduction with respect to a discrete valuation of the base field which is formulated in terms of the existence of maximal tori with special properties.…
We study finite skew braces whose multiplicative group is characteristically simple, namely of the form \(S^n\) for a finite simple group \(S\). Motivated by the strong rigidity phenomena known for skew braces with simple or quasisimple…
We study when the group $\mathbb Z^n\rtimes_A\mathbb Z$ is arithmetic where $A\in GL_n(\mathbb Z)$ is hyperbolic and semisimple. We begin by giving a characterization of arithmeticity phrased in the language of algebraic tori, building on…
We attach with every finite, involutive, nondegenerate set-theoretic solution of the Yang--Baxter equation a finite group that plays for the associated structure group the role that a finite Coxeter group plays for the associated…
We study the local homology of Artin groups using weighted discrete Morse theory. In all finite and affine cases, we are able to construct Morse matchings of a special type (we call them "precise matchings"). The existence of precise…
We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors and associated subdirect products.…
The computational complexity of the word problem in HNN-extension of groups is studied. HNN-extension is a fundamental construction in combinatorial group theory. It is shown that the word problem for an ascending HNN-extension of a group H…
