A group $G$ is invariably generated (IG) if there is a subset $S \subseteq G$ such that for every subset $S' \subseteq G$, obtained from $S$ by replacing each element with a conjugate, $S'$ generates $G$. $G$ is finitely invariably…

We show that if a group $G$ acting faithfully on a rooted tree $T$ has a free subgroup, then either there exists a point $w$ of the boundary $\partial T$ and a free subgroup of $G$ with trivial stabilizer of $w$, or there exists…

A proper subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be: $\Bbb{P}$-subnormal in $G$ if there exists a chain of subgroups $H=H_0 < H_1< ... < H_{n}=G$ such that $|H_{i}:H_{i-1}|$ is a prime for $i=1,...,n$; $\Bbb{P}$-abnormal in $G$ if for every…

We consider a smooth submanifold $N$ with a smooth boundary in an ambient closed manifold $M$ and assign a spectral invariant $c(\alpha,H)$ to every singular homological class $\alpha\in H_*(N)$ and a Hamiltonian $H$ defined on the…

Let G be a finite group and {\sigma} = {{\sigma}_i, i \in I} be a partition of the set of all primes \mathbb{P}. A set \mathcal{H} of subgroups of G with 1 \in \mathcal{H} is said to be a complete Hall {\sigma}-set of G if every…

The well-rounded retract for $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ is defined as the set of flat tori of unit volume and dimension $n$ whose systoles generate a finite-index subgroup in homology. This set forms an equivariant spine of minimal…

For a profinite group $G$, we define an $S[[G]]$-module to be a certain type of $G$-spectrum $X$ built from an inverse system $\{X_i\}_i$ of $G$-spectra, with each $X_i$ naturally a $G/N_i$-spectrum, where $N_i$ is an open normal subgroup…

We study probability measure on $\mathrm{Hom}(H,G)$, where $G$ is a finite group and $H$ a finitely generated subgroup of a finitely generated free group $F$, obtained by pushing forward the uniform random homomorphisms $\mathrm{Hom}(F,G)$…

A ring R is said to be rigid if the only locally nilpotent derivation of R is the zero derivation. Let G be an abelian group, and B = (direct sum of B_i for i in G) be a G-graded commutative integral domain of characteristic 0. For each…

In this paper, we prove a spectral restriction theorem on the three-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold. Since this manifold is an $\mathbb S^1$-bundle over the flat torus $\mathbb T^2$, the result provides a sub-elliptic counterpart of…

We study the simplicial order complexes obtained from free modules over finite local rings. These complexes arise naturally as geodesic spheres in Bruhat-Tits buildings over non-archimedean local fields. We establish two forms of rigidity,…

We study finite group actions on smooth manifolds of the form $M\#\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is an exotic $n$-sphere and $M$ is a closed aspherical space form. We give a classification result for free actions of finite groups on $M\#\Sigma$…

We prove that if $N\ge 2$ and $\alpha: F_N\to \pi_1(\Gamma)$ is a marking on $F_N$, then for any integer $r\ge 2$ and any $F_N$-invariant collection of non-negative integral "weights" associated to all subtrees $K$ of $\widetilde \Gamma$ of…

We study the tensor-triangular geometry of the category of equivariant $G$-spectra for $G$ a profinite group, $\mathsf{Sp}_G$. Our starting point is the construction of a ``continuous'' model for this category, which we show agrees with all…

We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is a set of integers $g \geq 2$ such that $G$ acts on a closed orientable compact surface $\Sigma_g$ of genus $g$ preserving the orientation. In this paper we complete the study of spectrum sets of…

We define a group as strongly bounded if every isometric action on a metric space has bounded orbits. This latter property is equivalent to the so-called uncountable strong cofinality, recently introduced by G. Bergman. Our main result is…

Although $S_\infty$ (the group of all permutations of $\mathbb{N}$) is size continuum, both it and its closed subgroups can be presented as the set of paths through a countable tree. The subgroups of $S_\infty$ that can be presented this…

This is the first of two articles aiming to introduce symplectic spinors into the field of symplectic topology and the subject of Frobenius structures. After exhibiting a (tentative) axiomating setting for Frobenius structures resp. 'Higgs…

Let $G$ be a finite group. Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I\}$ be a partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$ and $n$ an integer. We write $\sigma (n) =\{\sigma_{i} |\sigma_{i}\cap \pi (n)\ne \emptyset \}$, $\sigma (G) =\sigma (|G|)$.…
