We define a notion of relative soficity for countable groups with respect to a family of groups. A group is sofic if and only if it is relative sofic with respect to the family consisting only of the trivial group. If a group is relatively…

We prove an elementary lemma concerning primitive amalgams and use it to greatly simplify the proof of the Sims conjecture in the case of almost simple groups.

Nekrashevych associated to each self-similar group action an ample groupoid and a $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra. We perform complete computations of the homology of the groupoid and the K-theory of the $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra for a myriad of…

For simple theories with a strong version of amalgamation we obtain the canonical hyperdefinable group from the group configuration. This provides a generalization to simple theories of the group configuration theorem for stable theories.

The compactness theorem for a logic states, roughly, that the satisfiability of a set of well-formed formulas can be determined from the satisfiability of its finite subsets, and vice versa. Usually, proofs of this theorem depend on the…

We show that the technical condition of solvable conjugacy bound, introduced in \cite{JOR1}, can be removed without affecting the main results of that paper. The result is a Burghelea-type description of the summands $HH_*^t(\BG)_{<x>}$ and…

If X and Y are orthogonal hyperdefinable sets such that X is simple, then any group G interpretable in (X,Y) has a normal hyperdefinable X-internal subgroup N such that G/N is Y-internal; N is unique up to commensurability. In order to make…

In this note we prove the Borel Conjecture for closed, irreducible and sufficiently collapsed three-dimensional Alexandrov spaces. We also pose several questions related to characterization of fundamental groups of three-dimensional…

The solvability of monomial groups is a well-known result in character theory. Certain properties of Artin L-series suggest a generalization of these groups, namely to such groups where every irreducible character has some multiple which is…

We give a simple proof for the rigidity of a complex in the bounded derived category of sheaves with constructible cohomology on an abelian variety.

We describe sofic groupoids in elementary terms and prove several permanence properties for sofcity. We show that sofcity can be determined in terms of the full group alone, answering a question by Conley, Kechris and Tucker-Drob.

In this short note, we mimic the proof of the simplicity of the theory ACFA of generic difference fields in order to provide a criterion, valid for certain theories of pure fields and fields equipped with operators, which shows that a…

Green [Geometric and Functional Analysis 15 (2005), 340--376] established a version of the Szemer\'edi Regularity Lemma for abelian groups and derived the Removal Lemma for abelian groups as its corollary. We provide another proof of his…

In his paper on the Mordell-Lang conjecture, Hrushovski employed techniques from model theory to prove the function field version of the conjecture. In doing so he was able to answer a related question of Voloch, which we refer to…

We prove that the approximation conjecture of Luck holds for all amenable groups in the complex group algebra case. This result was previously proved by Dodziuk, Linnell, Mathai, Schick and Yates under the assumption that the group is…

We present a much simplified proof of Dehn's theorem on the infinitesimal rigidity of convex polytopes. Our approach is based on the ideas of Trushkina and Schramm.

In structural rigidity, one studies frameworks of bars and joints in Euclidean space. Such a framework is an articulated structure consisting of rigid bars, joined together at joints around which the bars may rotate. In this paper, we will…

For $i=1,\ldots,k$, let $\mathbf{G}_i$ be a connected, simply connected, semisimple algebraic group over some local field $\kappa_i$ of characteristic zero. Let $G_i=\mathbf{G}_i(\kappa_i)$ be the $\kappa_i$-points of $\mathbf{G}_i$ and…

A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…

We prove the stable rationality of almost simple algebraic groups, the connected components of the Dynkin diagram of anisotropic kernel of which contain at most two vertices. The (stable) rationality of many isotropic almost simple groups…
