We prove that every countable group with solvable power problem embeds into a finitely presented 2-generated group with solvable power and conjugacy problems.

We undertake a comprehensive study of measure equivalence between general locally compact, second countable groups, providing operator algebraic and ergodic theoretic reformulations, and complete the classification of amenable groups within…

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

In this paper, we survey some of the recent advances on embeddings into finitely generated (left-orderable) simple group such that the overgroup preserves algorithmic, geometric, or algebraic information about the embedded group. We discuss…

We discuss dense embeddings of surface groups and fully residually free groups in topological groups. We show that a compact topological group contains a nonabelian dense free group of finite rank if and only if it contains a dense surface…

Answering a question raised by V. V. Tkachuk, we present several examples of $\sigma$-compact spaces, some only consistent and some in ZFC, that are not countably tight but in which the closure of any discrete subset is countably tight. In…

For an arbitrary countable group G = <A|R> given by its generators A and defining relations R we discuss a specific method for embedding of G into a certain 2-generator group T. Our embedding explicitly lists the images of generators from A…

We show that every countable group embeds in a group of type $FP_2$.

For a countable group G = <A | R> presented by its generators A and defining relations R we discuss a simple method to embed G into such a 2-generator group T that the images of generators from A are explicitly given in T, and the defining…

We construct locally compact groups with no non-trivial Invariant Random Subgroups and no non-trivial Uniformly Recurrent Subgroups.

We introduce a notion of $L^2$-Betti numbers for locally compact, second countable, unimodular groups. We study the relation to the standard notion of $L^2$-Betti numbers of countable discrete groups for lattices. In this way, several new…

We prove that an arbitrary countable dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $\neq 2$ that is locally of subexponential growth is embeddable in a finitely generated Lie algebra of subexponential growth.

We show that there are locally compact spaces that can be condensed onto separable spaces but not onto compact separable spaces. We also show that for every cardinal $\kappa$ there is a locally compact topological group of cardinality…

In this paper we consider the problem of characterization of topological spaces that embed into countably compact Hausdorff spaces. We study the separation axioms of subspaces of countably compact Hausdorff spaces and construct an example…

An elementary proof is given for the fact that every locally compact subsemigroup of a compact topological group is a closed subgroup. A sample consequence is that every commutative cancellative pseudocompact locally compact Hausdorff…

We give some new characterizations of exactness for locally compact second countable groups. In particular, we prove that a locally compact second countable group is exact if and only if it admits a topologically amenable action on a…

We construct box spaces of a free group that do not coarsely embed into a Hilbert space, but do not contain coarsely embedded expanders. We do this by considering two sequences of subgroups of the free group: one which gives rise to a box…

We show every locally solvable subgroup of PLo(I) is countable. A corollary is that an uncountable wreath product of copies of $\mathbb{Z}$ with itself does not embed into PLo(I).

We determine the excluded minors characterising the class of countable graphs that embed into some compact surface.

It is proved that any countable topological group in which the filter of neighborhoods of the identity element is not rapid contains a discrete set with precisely one nonisolated point. This gives a negative answer to Protasov's question on…
