A finite abelian group $G$ of cardinality $n$ is said to be of type III if every prime divisor of $n$ is congruent to 1 modulo 3. We obtain a classification theorem for sum-free subsets of largest possible cardinality in a finite abelian…
We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…
We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…
We study finite groups $G$ with the property that for any subgroup $M$ maximal in $G$ whose order is divisible by all the prime divisors of $|G|$, $M$ is supersolvable. We show that any nonabelian simple group can occur as a composition…
The aim of this paper is to unify the theory of ends of finitely generated groups with that of ends of locally compact, metrizable and connected topological groups. In both theories one proves that, if the number of ends is finite, then it…
In SGA 2, Grothendieck conjectures that the \'etale fundamental group of the punctured spectrum of a complete noetherian local domain of dimension at least two with algebraically closed residue field is topologically finitely generated. In…
A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin conjectured that if $A$ is a finite skew brace with solvable additive group, then the multiplicative group of $A$ is solvable. In this short note we make a step towards positive solution of this conjecture…
A fundamental notion in group theory, which originates in an article of Ulam and von Neumann from $1947$ is uniform simplicity. A group $G$ is said to be $n$-uniformly simple for $n \in \mathbf{N}$ if for every $f,g\in G\setminus \{id\}$,…
Let G be a finite group. It has recently been proved that every nontrivial element of G is contained in a generating set of minimal size if and only if all proper quotients of G require fewer generators than G. It is natural to ask which…
A direct consequence of Gromov's theorem is that if a group has polynomial geodesic growth with respect to some finite generating set then it is virtually nilpotent. However, until now the only examples known were virtually abelian. In this…
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…
In this paper, we prove that all finitely generated 3-manifold groups are Grothendieck rigid. More precisely, for any finitely generated 3-manifold group $G$ and any finitely generated proper subgroup $H<G$, we prove that the inclusion…
We show that an HNN-extension with finitely generated abelian base group is Z-linear if and only if it is residually finite.
We study widths of conjugacy classes in anisotropic higher rank $S$-arithmetic groups of orthogonal type. Assuming the GRH, we prove that many such groups have bounded conjugacy width. For example, this holds if the degree is greater or…
We construct finitely generated groups with strong fixed point properties. Let $\mathcal{X}_{ac}$ be the class of Hausdorff spaces of finite covering dimension which are mod-$p$ acyclic for at least one prime $p$. We produce the first…
We prove that the automorphism group of every infinitely-ended finitely generated group is acylindrically hyperbolic. In particular $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{F}_n)$ is acylindrically hyperbolic for every $n\ge 2$. More generally, if $G$ is a…
The palindromic length of a finite word $w$ is defined as the minimal number of palindromes such that their product is $w$. Clearly, this function may take different values depending on if we consider $w$ as an element a free semigroup or…
Any action of a group $\Gamma$ on $\mathbb H^3$ by isometries yields a class in degree three bounded cohomology by pulling back the volume cocycle to $\Gamma$. We prove that the bounded cohomology of finitely generated Kleinian groups…
We introduce the notion of the depth of a finite group $G$, defined as the minimal length of an unrefinable chain of subgroups from $G$ to the trivial subgroup. In this paper we investigate the depth of (non-abelian) finite simple groups.…
We develop a practical algorithm to decide whether a finitely generated subgroup of a solvable algebraic group $G$ is arithmetic. This incorporates a procedure to compute a generating set of an arithmetic subgroup of $G$. We also provide a…
