We say A is a quasi-normal subgroup of the group G if the commensurator of A in G is all of G. We develop geometric versions of commensurators in finitely generated groups. In particular, g is an element of the commensurator of A in G iff…

A group obtained from a nontrivial group by adding one generator and one relator which is a proper power of a word in which the exponent-sum of the additional generator is one contains the free square of the initial group and almost always…

It is known, that the existence of dead ends (of arbitrary depth) in the Cayley graph of a group depends on the chosen set of generators. Nevertheless there exist many groups, which do not have dead ends of arbitrary depth with respect to…

In this paper we consider the palindromic width of free nilpotent groups. In particular, we prove that the palindromic width of a finitely generated free nilpotent group is finite. We also prove that the palindromic width of a free…

In this note we give some new results concerning the subgroup commutativity degree of a finite group $G$. These are obtained by considering the minimum of subgroup commutativity degrees of all sections of $G$.

The long-root elements in Lie algebras of Chevalley type have been well studied and can be characterized as extremal elements, that is, elements $x$ such that the image of $(\ad x)^2$ lies in the subspace spanned by $x$. In this paper,…

It was proved by Oliveira and Silva (2005) that every finitely generated inverse subsemigroup of the monogenic free inverse semigroup $FI_1$ is finitely presented. The present paper continues this development, and gives generating sets and…

We present some fundamental results on (possibly nonlinear) algebraic semigroups and monoids. These include a version of Chevalley's structure theorem for irreducible algebraic monoids, and the description of all algebraic semigroup…

In this article we improve the known uniform bound for subgroup growth of Chevalley groups over $\mathbf{G}(\mathbb{F}_p[[t]])$. We introduce a new parameter, the ridgeline number $v(\mathbf{G})$, and give new bounds for the subgroup growth…

In this paper, we prove a series of results on group embeddings in groups with a small number of generators. We show that each finitely generated group $G$ lying in a variety ${\mathcal M}$ can be embedded in a $4$-generated group $H \in…

The classification of equivariant toroidal embeddings of a reductive group over an algebraically closed field is combinatorial and does not depend on the characteristic of the base field. This suggests that there should exist ``universal''…

We pursue various restricted variable generalizations of the Chevalley-Warning theorem for low degree polynomial systems over a finite field. Our first such result involves variables restricted to Cartesian products of the Vandermonde…

We develop a notion of degree for functions between two abelian groups that allows us to generalize the Chevalley Warning Theorems from fields to noncommutative rings or abelian groups of prime power order.

We prove that thick groups (and more generally thick graphs) have trivial Floyd boundary. This shows a wide class of finitely generated groups that are non-relatively hyperbolic have trivial Floyd boundary. In addition to giving new…

Given a universal elementary Chevalley-Demazure group $E_\Phi^{sc}(R)$ for which its (standard) parabolic subgroups are finitely generated, we consider the problem of classifying which parabolics $P(R) \subset E_\Phi^{sc}(R)$ are finitely…

We prove the following generalization of the classical Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group of graded algebra automorphisms of a skew polynomial ring $A:=k_{p_{ij}}[x_1,...,x_n]$. Then the fixed subring $A^G$ has…

We show how the theory of canonical bases in modified universal enveloping algebras can be used to develop the theory of Chevalley groups over any commutative ring with 1.

We show that the standard set of elementary generators of an elementary isotropic reductive group over a connected finitely generated ring is a Kazhdan subset. This generalizes the corresponding result of M. Ershov, A. Jaikin-Zapirain, and…

We study ideal-simple commutative semirings and summarize the results giving their classification, in particular when they are finitely generated. In the principal case of (para)semifields, we then consider their minimal number of…

The commutative subgroup width of a group $G$ is the smallest $k$ such that there are abelian subgroups $A_0,A_1,\ldots,A_{k-1}\leq G$ with $G=A_0A_1\cdots A_{k-1}$. Commutative (inverse) submonoid width is defined analogously. In 2002,…
