We prove Nielsen realisation for finite subgroups of the groups of untwisted outer automorphisms of RAAGs in the following sense: given any graph $\Gamma$, and any finite group $G\leqslant \mathrm{U}^0(A_\Gamma) \leqslant…

Let G be a real semisimple Lie group with no compact factors and finite centre, and let $\Lambda$ be a lattice in G. Suppose that there exists a homomorphism from $\Lambda$ to the outer automorphism group of a right-angled Artin group…

We prove several cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions of higher-rank cocompact lattices on low dimensional manifolds. For example, if $\Gamma$ is a cocompact lattice in $\mathrm{Sl}(n, \mathbb R)$, $M$ is a compact manifold, and…

Given a conjugacy class $\mathcal{C}$ in a group $G$ we define a new graph, $\Gamma(\mathcal{C})$, whose vertices are elements of $\mathcal{C}$; two vertices $g,h\in \mathcal{C}$ are connected in $\Gamma(\mathcal{C})$ if $[g,h]=1$ and…

We present a normal form for outer automorphisms $\phi$ of a non-abelian free group $F_N$ which grow quadratically (measured through the maximal growth of conjugacy classes in $F_N$ under iteration of $\phi$). In analogy to the known normal…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a finite, simple and connected graph. Fix a vertex $x$ of $\Gamma$ which is not a leaf and let $T=T(x)$ denote the Terwilliger algebra of $\Gamma$ with respect to $x$. Assume that the unique irreducible $T$-module with…

Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…

Let $f: S^2 \to S^2$ be an expanding branched covering map of the sphere to itself with finite postcritical set $P_f$. Associated to $f$ is a canonical quasisymmetry class $\GGG(f)$ of Ahlfors regular metrics on the sphere in which the…

We prove the equality $\cat(\phi)=\cd(\phi)$ for epimorphisms $\phi:\Gamma\to \Lambda$ between torsion-free, finitely generated almost nilpotent groups $\Gamma$ and $\Lambda$. In addition, we prove the equality $\cat(\phi)=\cd(\phi)$ for…

Let $\Sigma=(\Gamma, \sigma)$ is a signed graph(or sigraph in short), where $\Gamma$ is a underlying graph of $\Sigma$ and $\sigma:E\longrightarrow \{+, -\}$ is a function. Consider $\Gamma=Cay(\mathbb{Z}_{p_{1}}\times…

We prove a cocycle superrigidity theorem for a large class of coinduced actions. In particular, if $\Lambda$ is a subgroup of a countable group $\Gamma$, we consider a probability measure preserving action $\Lambda\curvearrowright X_0$ and…

Fix a commutative monoid $(T,+,0)$, a commutative monoid $(\Gamma,+,0_\Gamma)$, and a map \[ (a,\alpha,b,\beta,c)\longmapsto a\,\alpha\,b\,\beta\,c\in T \] which is additive in each variable and associative in the ternary sense. A left…

Let $\nabla$ be a meromorphic connection on a vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface $\Gamma$. An automorphism $\sigma:\Gamma\to\Gamma$ is called a symmetry of $\nabla$ if the pull-back bundle and the pull-back connection can be…

For a right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$, the untwisted outer automorphism group $U(A_\Gamma)$ is the subgroup of $Out(A_\Gamma)$ generated by all of the Laurence-Servatius generators except twists (where a {\em twist} is an automorphisms…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a simply connected, solvable Lie group~$G$, such that $\Ad_G\Gamma$ has the same Zariski closure as $\Ad G$. If $\alpha \colon \Gamma \to \GL_n(\real)$ is any finite-dimensional representation…

We study twisted conjugacy classes of a family of groups which are called Houghton's groups $\mathcal{H}_n$ ($n \in\mathbb{N}$), the group of translations of $n$ rays of discrete points at infinity. We prove that the Houghton's groups…

Let $\mathcal{M}(n)$ be the subgroup of $GL(n,\mathbb{Z})$ generated by the particular involutions that are identical to the identity, except for a single line where $-1$ and $+1$ alternate. We study the properties of $\mathcal{M}(n)$, and…

We introduce separability properties corresponding to generalized versions of the conjugacy, twisted conjugacy, Brinkmann and Brinkmann's conjugacy problems and how they relate when finite and cyclic extensions of groups are taken. In…

$\Gamma$-structures are weak forms of multiplications on closed oriented manifolds. As shown by Hopf the rational cohomology algebras of manifolds admitting $\Gamma$-structures are free over odd degree generators. We prove that this…
