It is observed that the conjugacy growth series of the infinite fini-tary symmetric group with respect to the generating set of transpositions is the generating series of the partition function. Other conjugacy growth series are computed,…

Given an inverse semigroup $G_0$ of bounded type, we show, along with some other assumptions, that if the set of incompressible elements of $G_0$ is finite, then any finitely generated subgroup $G$ of the topological full group…

For a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$, a subset $\mathcal{F}$ of $G$ is said to be an intersecting set if for every pair of elements $g,h\in \mathcal{F}$ there exists $v \in V$ such that $g(v) = h(v)$. The intersection density…

We construct an uncountable family of finitely generated groups of intermediate growth, with growth functions of new type. These functions can have large oscillations between lower and upper bounds, both of which come from a wide class of…

Let $G$ be a group and $S$ be the set of all non-trivial proper subgroups of $G$. The intersection hypergraph of $G$, denoted by $\tilde{\Gamma}_\mathcal{H}(G)$, is a hypergraph whose vertex set is $\{H \in S \,\, | \,\, H \cap K = \{e\}…

Grigorchuk and de la Harpe asked if there are many groups with growth exponent close to that of the free group with the same number of generators. We prove that this is in fact the case for a generic group (in the density model of random…

We show that every semigroup which is a finite disjoint union of copies of the free monogenic semigroup (natural numbers under addition) has linear growth. This implies that the the corresponding semigroup algebra is a PI algebra.

We study Schreier dynamical systems associated with a vast family of groups that hosts many known examples of groups of intermediate growth. We are interested in the orbital graphs for the actions of these groups on $d-$regular rooted trees…

We prove an estimate for the rank of the intersection of free subgroups in virtually free groups, which is analogous to the Hanna Neumann inequality for subgroups in a free group and to the S.V. Ivanov estimate for subgroups in free…

Given a finitely generated group $G$ that is relatively finitely presented with respect to a collection of peripheral subgroups, we prove that every infinite subgroup $H$ of $G$ that is bounded in the relative Cayley graph of $G$ is…

The intersection graph $\Delta_G$ of a finite group $G$ is a simple graph with vertices the non-trivial proper subgroups of $G$, and an edge between two vertices if their corresponding subgroups intersect non-trivially. These graphs were…

We revisit the isoperimetric inequalities for finitely generated groups introduced and studied by N. Varopoulos, T. Coulhon and L. Saloff-Coste. Namely we show that a lower bound on the isoperimetric quotient of finite subsets in a finitely…

We prove that every non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ acts with maximal growth on some set $X$ such that every orbit of any element $g \in G$ is finite. As a side-product of our approach we prove that if $G$ is non-elementary hyperbolic,…

We say A is a quasi-normal subgroup of the group G if the commensurator of A in G is all of G. We develop geometric versions of commensurators in finitely generated groups. In particular, g is an element of the commensurator of A in G iff…

Two elements $g$ and $h$ of a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$ are said to be intersecting if $g(v) = h(v)$ for some $v \in V$. More generally, a subset ${\cal F}$ of $G$ is an intersecting set if every pair of elements of ${\cal…

For any finitely generated group $G$, two complexity functions $\alpha_G$ and $\beta_G$ are defined to measure the maximal possible gap between the norm of an automorphism (respectively outer automorphism) of $G$ and the norm of its…

Given an abstract group $G$, we study the function $ab_n(G) := \sup_{|G:H| \leq n} |H/[H,H]|$. If $G$ has no abelian composition factors, then $ab_n(G)$ is bounded by a polynomial: as a consequence, we find a sharp upper bound for the…

In this paper we study asymptotic behavior of regular subsets in a free group F of finite rank, compare their sizes at infinity, and develop techniques to compute the probabilities of sets relative to distributions on F that come naturally…

I describe a class of groups acting on rooted trees. The original claim was that all have intermediate word growth between polynomial and exponential. The argument constructs a functional equation on the growth formal power series, and…

We say that a group $G$ of local (maybe formal) biholomorphisms satisfies the uniform intersection property if the intersection multiplicity $(\phi (V), W)$ takes only finitely many values as a function of $G$ for any choice of analytic…
