We show that an accessible group with infinitely many ends has property $R_{\infty}$. That is, it has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes for any twisting automorphism. We deduce that having property $R_{\infty}$ is undecidable…

We introduce the concept of a topological J-group and determine for many important examples of topological groups if they are topological J-groups or not. Besides other results, we show that the underlying topological space of a pathwise…

We give a complete characterization of torsion-free hyperbolic groups which are homogeneous in the sense of first-order logic, in terms of the JSJ decompositions of their free factors.

We algebraically characterize free by cyclic groups that have coarse medians, and prove that this is equivalent to the a priori stronger properties of being colourable hierarchically hyperbolic groups and being quasi-isometric to CAT(0)…

A finitely generated group is lacunary hyperbolic if one of its asymptotic cones is an $\mathbb{R}$-tree. In this article we give a necessary and sufficient condition on lacunary hyperbolic groups in order to be stable under free product by…

Two groups are virtually isomorphic if they can be obtained one from the other via a finite number of steps, where each step consists in taking a finite extension or a finite index subgroup (or viceversa). Virtually isomorphic groups are…

In this note the smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) linear and {\sl semilinear} representations of certain permutation groups (such as infinite symmetric group or automorphism group of an infinite-dimensional vector space over a finite…

In this work, we are concerned with hierarchically hyperbolic spaces and hierarchically hyperbolic groups. Our main result is a wide generalization of a combination theorem of Behrstock, Hagen, and Sisto. In particular, as a consequence, we…

A graph is called claw-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to the complete bipartite graph $K_{1, 3}$. The undirected power graph of a group $G$ has vertices the elements of $G$, with an edge between $g_1$ and $g_2$ if one of…

Given a 2-manifold, a fundamental question to ask is which groups can be realized as the isometry group of a Riemannan metric of constant curvature on the manifold. In this paper, we give a nearly complete classification of such groups for…

We show that if G is a finite group then no chain of modular elements in its subgroup lattice L(G) is longer than a chief series. Also, we show that if G is a nonsolvable finite group then every maximal chain in L(G) has length at least two…

We prove that the topological complexity of a finite index subgroup of a hyperbolic group is linear in its index. This follows from a more general result relating the size of the quotient of a free cocompact action of hyperbolic group on a…

The usual way to investigate the statistical properties of finitely generated subgroups of free groups, and of finite presentations of groups, is based on the so-called word-based distribution: subgroups are generated (finite presentations…

We relativise the Thomassen--Woess definition of accessibility in graphs, defining what it means for a graph to be accessible relative to a peripheral system. In the case of locally finite, quasi-transitive graphs, we characterise relative…

The Directed Power Graph of a group is a graph whose vertex set is the elements of the group, with an edge from $x$ to $y$ if $y$ is a power of $x$. The \textit{Power Graph} of a group can be obtained from the directed power graph by…
