We provide an infinite family of sofic one-relator groups that are not residually solvable nor residually finite. The proof is essentially different from the one in [1], as it does not require just Magnus' decompositions.

Let $G$ be a locally compact Abelian group, and $w: G\to (0, \infty)$ be a Borel measurable weighted function. In this paper, the algebraic and topological properties of group algebra are studied and assessed. We show that the weighted…

We exhibit a family of infinite, finitely-presented, nilpotent-by-abelian groups. Each member of this family is a solvable S-arithmetic group that is related to Baumslag-Solitar groups, and everyone of these groups has a quasi-isometry…

We introduce a new framework linking group theory and formal language theory which generalizes a number of ways these topics have been linked in the past. For a language class C in the Chomsky hierarchy, we say a group is epiC if it admits…

We consider infinite graphs and the associated energy forms. We show that a graph is canonically compactifiable (i.e. all functions of finite energy are bounded) if and only if the underlying set is totally bounded with respect to any…

We study certain lattices constructed from finite abelian groups. We show that such a lattice is eutactic, thereby confirming a conjecture by B\"ottcher, Eisenbarth, Fukshansky, Garcia, Maharaj. Our methods also yield simpler proofs of two…

We show that with a suitable weak notion of general position, the Elekes-Szab\'o condition on the group operation of a connected complex algebraic group characterises nilpotence of the group. Along the way, we prove a Mordell-Lang result…

We consider conformal actions of simple Lie groups on compact Lorentzian manifolds. Mainly motivated by the Lorentzian version of a conjecture of Lichnerowicz, we establish the alternative: Either the group acts isometrically for some…

We prove the Baum--Connes conjecture with arbitrary coefficients for some classes of groups: (1) Linear algebraic groups over a non-archimedean local field. (2) Linear algebraic groups over the adeles of a global field k, provided that at…

In this paper we begin the systematic study of group equations with abelian predicates in the main classes of groups where solving equations is possible. We extend the line of work on word equations with length constraints, and more…

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.

The complete algebraic structure of semisimple finite group algebra of a generalized strongly monomial group is provided. This work extends the work of Broche and del R{\'{\i}}o on strongly monomial groups. The theory is complimented by an…

This paper continues math.GR/0608302's study of amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and applies it to graded algebras associated with finitely generated groups. Due to a…

Let $G$ be a group. Let $X$ be a connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$. Denote by $A=X(K)$ the set of $K$-points of $X$. We study a class of endomorphisms of pro-algebraic groups, namely algebraic group cellular…

The notion of inner linear Hopf algebra is a generalization of the notion of discrete linear group. In this paper, we prove two general results that enable us to enlarge the class of Hopf algebras that are known to be inner linear: the…

We introduce and investigate the solvable graph $\Gamma_\mathfrak{S}(L)$ of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $L$ over a field $F$. The vertices are the elements outside the solvabilizer $\sol(L)$, and two vertices are adjacent whenever they…

In this note we give an example of a group which is locally embeddable into finite groups (in particular it is initially subamenable, sofic and hence hyperlinear) but does not have Kirchberg's factorization property. This group provides…

We give an example of a sofic group, which is not a limit of amenable groups.

Relying on the techniques and ideas from our recent paper [13], we prove several anti-classification results for various rigidity conditions in countable abelian and nilpotent groups. We prove three main theorems: (1) the rigid abelian…

A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…
