We show that labelled Thompson groups and twisted Brin--Thompson groups are all acyclic. This allows us to prove several new embedding results for groups. First, every group of type $F_n$ embeds quasi-isometrically as a subgroup of an…

We prove a criterion for the normality of Schubert varieties in twisted affine Grassmannians in terms of the order of the algebraic fundamental group of a certain Levi subgroup, in particular in small positive characteristic. As an…

We consider tubular neighborhood of an arbitrary submanifold embedded in a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold. This can be described by Fermi normal coordinates (FNC) satisfying certain conditions as described by Florides and Synge in \cite{FS}.…

We use a method of Bieri, Geoghegan and Kochloukova to calculate the BNSR-invariants for the irrational slope Thompson's group $F_{\tau}$. To do so we establish conditions under which the Sigma invariants coincide with those of a subgroup…

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq 0$ we consider the family $\mathcal{F}_n$ of all virtually abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $n$. In this article we prove that for each $n\ge2$ the Bredon cohomology, with respect to the…

We show that pure subgroups of infinitely braided Thompson's are bi-orderable. For every finitely generated pure subgroup, we give explicit sets of generators.

Braided Thompson's groups are finitely presented groups introduced by Brin and Dehornoy which contain the ordinary braid groups $B_n$, the finitary braid group $B_{\infty}$ and Thompson's group $F$ as subgroups. We describe some of the…

We show that several classes of groups G of PL-homeomorphisms of the real line admit non-trivial homomorphisms from G to the additive group of reals that are fixed by every automorphism of G. The classes of groups enjoying the stated…

In this paper we first show that many braid groups of low genus surfaces have their centers as direct factors. We then give a description of centralizers and normalizers of prime order elements in pure mapping class groups of surfaces with…

Motivated by Burillo, Cleary and Roever's summary on obstructions of subgroups of Thompson's group $V,$ we explored the higher dimensional version of the groups, Brin-Thompson groups $nV$ and $SV,$ a class of infinite dimensional…

We prove that the Brin-Thompson groups sV, also called higher dimensional Thompson's groups, are of type F_\infty for all natural numbers s. This result was previously shown for s up to 3, by considering the action of sV on a naturally…

In this paper we introduce a class of `parabolic' subgroups for the generalized braid group associated to an arbitrary irreducible complex reflection group, which maps onto the collection of parabolic subgroups of the reflection group.…

A notion of {\em normal submonoid} of a monoid $M$ is introduced that generalizes the normal subgroups of a group. When ordered by inclusion, the set $\mathsf{NorSub}(M)$ of normal submonoids of $M$ is a complete lattice. Joins are…

Braided groups and braided matrices are novel algebraic structures living in braided or quasitensor categories. As such they are a generalization of super-groups and super-matrices to the case of braid statistics. Here we construct braided…

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n \geq 0$, let $\mathcal{F}_n$ denote the family of all virtually abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $n$. In this article, we show that for each $n \geq 1$, the minimal dimension of a model for the…

We investigate Friedl-L\"uck's universal $L^2$-torsion for descending HNN extensions of finitely generated free groups, and so in particular for $F_n$-by-$\mathbb{Z}$ groups. This invariant induces a semi-norm on the first cohomology of the…
