We show that the theory of geometric structures proposed in the recent book "An Alternative Approach to Lie Groups and Geometric Structures" can be developed independently of connections.

This paper develops a game-theoretic model and an agent-based model to study group formation driven by resource pooling, spatial cohesion, and heterogeneity. We focus on cross-sector partnerships (CSPs) involving public, private, and…
This is a survey of two papers joint with A. Borisov and a paper joint with I. Spakulova. It is based on my lectures at the conference "Groups St. Andrews 2009", Bath (August 2009). We prove that almost all 1-related groups with at least 3…
This is a survey. The main subject of this survey is the homotopical or homological nature of certain structures which appear in classical problems about groups, Lie rings and group rings. It is well known that the (generalized) dimension…
(Translation from the original French:) We characterize the rings $A$ and groups $G$ for which the group rings $A [G]$ are local, semi-local, or left perfect. The recent work of M. P. Malliavin and J. L. Pascaud permits the completion of…
This exposition begins with a systematic account of the theory of group schemes, ultimately specializing to algebraic tori.
This is an introductory level survey of some topics from a new branch of fractal analysis -- the theory of self-similar groups. We discuss recent works on random walks on self-similar groups and their applications to the problem of…
This is an introduction to the finite groups, with focus on the groups of permutations and reflections, and more generally, on the finite groups of unitary matrices. We first discuss the basics of group theory, featuring the cyclic,…
We provide an elementary proof that subgroups of free groups are free via group actions.
This is an extended version of summary of the talk at the International Conference on Group Theory in honor of Victor Mazurov on the occasion of his 80th birthday. The concise version of this report can be found in the talks and…
The paper adjoins the book B.Plotkin, S.Vovsi "Varieties of representations of groups", Riga, "Zinatne", 1983, and turns to be, in a sense, its continuation. In the book the varieties of representations had been considered. In the matter of…
We develop an explicit covering theory for complexes of groups, parallel to that developed for graphs of groups by Bass. Given a covering of developable complexes of groups, we construct the induced monomorphism of fundamental groups and…
We present a number of important identities related to the excursion theory of linear diffusions. In particular, excursions straddling an independent exponential time are studied in detail. Letting the parameter of the exponential time tend…
This paper gives an introduction to some results on monodromy groupoids and the monodromy principle, and then develops the notion of monodromy groupoid for group groupoids.
Pedestrians are often encountered walking in the company of some social relations, rather than alone. The social groups thus formed, in variable proportions depending on the context, are not randomly organised but exhibit distinct features,…
This book is concerned with the various aspects of hierarchical collective behaviour which is manifested by most complex systems in nature. From the many of the possible topics, we plan to present a selection of those that we think are…
This paper is a companion article to the review paper by the present author devoted to the classification of matter constituents (chemical elements and particles) and published in the first part of the proceedings of The Second Harry Wiener…
We describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups in very elementary way. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms of G, and determine…
This is an account of one man's view of the current perspective of theory of topological groups. We survey some recent developments which are, from our viewpoint, indicative of the future directions, concentrating on actions of topological…
