We continue investigations started by Lakeland on Fuchsian and Kleinian groups which have a Dirichlet fundamental domain that also is a Ford domain in the upper half-space model of hyperbolic $2$- and $3$-space, or which have a Dirichlet…

In this paper, it is shown that a Fuchsian group, acting on the upper half-plane model for $\mathbb{H}^2$, admits a Ford domain which is also a Dirichlet domain, for some center, if and only if it is an index 2 subgroup of a reflection…

Examples are given of profinite groups that are not strongly complete, and have other `bad' properties, yet have only finitely many open subgroups of each finite index. It is shown that a profinite group with the latter property must be…

We exhibit an algorithm to compute a Dirichlet domain for a cofinite Fuchsian group Gamma. As a consequence, we compute the invariants of Gamma, including an explicit finite presentation for Gamma.

We generalize the theory of radical factorization from almost Dedekind domain to strongly discrete Pr\"ufer domains; we show that, for a fixed subset $X$ of maximal ideals, the finitely generated ideals with $\mathcal{V}(I)\subseteq X$ have…

We shall define a general notion of dimension, and study groups and rings whose interpretable sets carry such a dimensio. In particular, we deduce chain conditions for groups, definability results for fields and domains, and show that…

In the first part, we prove that the dominion (in the sense of Isbell) of a subgroup of a finitely generated nilpotent group is trivial in the category of all nilpotent groups. In the second part, we show that the dominion of a subgroup of…

Any simple pseudofinite group G is known to be isomorphic to a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. This celebrated result mostly follows from the work of Wilson in 1995 and heavily relies on the classification of finite…

A profinite group is called small if it has only finitely many open subgroups of index n for each positive integer n. We show that every Frattini cover of a small profinite group is small. A profinite group is called strongly complete if…

We show that the class of profinite duality groups is closed under group extensions provided that the kernel satisfies some finiteness condition. This extends earlier results of Pletch and of Wingberg.

We prove that finite groups have the same complex character tables iff the group algebras are twisted forms of each other as Drinfel'd quasi-bialgebras or iff there is non-associative bi-Galois algebra over these groups. The interpretations…

A finite group of order $n$ is said to have the distinct divisor property (DDP) if there exists a permutation $g_1,\ldots, g_n$ of its elements such that $g_i^{-1}g_{i+1} \neq g_j^{-1}g_{j+1}$ for all $1\leq i<j<n$. We show that an abelian…

A semigroup $S$ is called an equational domain if any finite union of algebraic sets over $S$ is algebraic. For a finite simple semigroup we find necessary and sufficient conditions to be an equational domain. Moreover, we study semigroups…

We show that if an open cover of a finite dimensional space is equivariant with respect to some finite group action on the space then there is an equivariant refinement of bounded dimension. This will generalize some constructions of…

Finite groups with very few character values are characterized. The following is the main result of this article: a finite non-abelian group has precisely four character values if and only if it is the generalized dihedral group of a…

We introduce a sufficient condition for a finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$ to admit finite-sided Dirichlet domains for polyhedral Finsler metrics on the symmetric space $G/K$. The condition always implies…

This paper gives the first example of a unipotent group that is not virtually abelian and preserves a strictly convex domain.

We show the characterization analogous to dimension groups of partially ordered real vector spaces with interpolation works, but sequential direct limits of simplicial vector spaces only under strong assumptions. We also provide and…

In this paper we show that there is an infinite number of finite groups with two relative subgroup commutativity degrees. Also, we indicate a sufficient condition such that a finite group has at least three relative subgroup commutativity…

An almost-Fuchsian group is a quasi-Fuchsian group such that the quotient hyperbolic manifold contains a closed incompressible minimal surface with principal curvatures contained in (-1,1). We show that the domain of discontinuity of an…
