Let $\mathbb{C}$ be the field of complex numbers. Let $k$ be natural number with $k \geq 2$ and let $p$ be a rational prime. In this paper we count the number of conjugacy classes of admissible cyclic subgroups of…

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…

We show that the conjugacy class of every pair of automoprhisms of the random poset is meager. This answers a question of Truss; see also Kuske-Truss. EDIT. Work in progress, at the moment there is a gap in the proof of Theorem 2.

We study topological properties of conjugacy classes in Polish groups, with emphasis on automorphism groups of homogeneous countable structures. We first consider the existence of dense conjugacy classes (the topological Rokhlin property).…

We consider the conjugacy problem for the automorphism groups of a number of countable homogeneous structures. In each case we find the precise complexity of the conjugacy relation in the sense of Borel reducibility.

We offer a criterion for showing that the automorphism group of an ultrahomogeneous structure is topologically 2-generated and even has a cyclically dense conjugacy class. We then show how finite topological rank of the automorphism group…

Let $G$ be a closed highly homogeneous subgroup of $S_{\infty}$ not involving circular orderings. We show that the closure of a conjugacy class from $G$ contains a conjugacy class which is comeagre in it. Furthermore, we show that the…

We classify the locally compact second-countable (l.c.s.c.) groups $A$ that are abelian and topologically characteristically simple. All such groups $A$ occur as the monolith of some soluble l.c.s.c. group $G$ of derived length at most $3$;…

We show that if two tensor algebras of topological graphs are algebraically isomorphic, then the graphs are locally conjugate. Conversely, if the base space is at most one dimensional and the edge space is compact, then locally conjugate…

We classify the connected orientable 2-manifolds whose mapping class groups have a dense conjugacy class. We also show that the mapping class group of a connected orientable 2-manifold has a comeager conjugacy class if and only if the…

We introduce a wide class of countable groups, called properly proximal, which contains all non-amenable bi-exact groups, all non-elementary convergence groups, and all lattices in non-compact semi-simple Lie groups, but excludes all inner…

We study generic properties of topological groups in the sense of Baire category. First we investigate countably infinite (discrete) groups. We extend a classical result of B. H. Neumann, H. Simmons and A. Macintyre on algebraically closed…

In the group of polynomial automorphisms of the plane, the conjugacy class of an element is closed if and only if the element is diagonalisable. In this article, we show that this does not hold for the group of special automorphisms, giving…

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…

Subgroups $H_1$ and $H_2$ of a group $G$ are said to be locally conjugate if there is a bijection $f: H_1 \rightarrow H_2$ such that $h$ and $f(h)$ are conjugate in $G$ for every $h \in H_1$. This paper studies local conjugacy among…

In order to understand the structure of the "typical" element of an automorphism group, one has to study how large the conjugacy classes of the group are. For the case when typical is meant in the sense of Baire category, Truss proved that…

Mapping class groups of locally finite graphs are the analogue of those of infinite-type surfaces, and serve as a "big" version of $\text{Out}(F_n)$. In this paper, we investigate which of these mapping class groups have a dense conjugacy…

We decide the Borel complexity of the conjugacy problem for automorphism groups of countable homogeneous digraphs. Many of the homogeneous digraphs, as well as several other homogeneous structures, have already been addressed in previous…

We study locally compact group topologies on semisimple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group $S$ is very rigid: every 'abstract' isomorphism between $S$ and a locally compact and $\sigma$-compact group $\Gamma$ is…

A combinatorial group-theoretic hypothesis is presented that serves as a necessary and sufficient condition for a union of connected Cockcroft two-complexes to be Cockcroft. This hypothesis has a component that can be expressed in terms of…
