A skew brace is a ring-like and group-like algebraic structure that was introduced in the study of set-theoretic solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. In this survey paper, we shall consider the left series, right series, socle series, and…

We will say that a group G possesses the Magnus property if for any two elements u,v in G with the same normal closure, u is conjugate to v or v^{-1}. We prove that some one-relator groups, including the fundamental groups of closed…

Baumslag's group is a finitely presented metabelian group with a Z \wr Z subgroup. There is an analogue with an additional torsion relation in which this subgroup becomes C_m \wr Z. We prove that Baumslag's group has an exponential Dehn…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is a finitely generated group that acts on a tree with infinite-cyclic vertex and edge stabilizers. In this paper, we show that the isomorphism problem is solvable for small rose non-ascending…

We study the lower central series of the right-angled Coxeter group $RC_\mathcal K$ and the corresponding associated graded Lie algebra $L(RC_\mathcal K)$ and describe the basis of the fourth graded component of $L(RC_\mathcal K)$ for any…

We study relationships between certain algebraic properties of groups and rings definable in a first order structure or $*$-closed in a compact $G$-space. As a consequence, we obtain a few structural results about $\omega$-categorical rings…

We find an explicit presentation of relative odd unitary Steinberg groups constructed by odd form rings and of relative doubly laced Steinberg groups over commutative rings, i.e. the Steinberg groups associated with the Chevalley group…

We introduce a new notion of commutator which depends on a choice of subvariety in any variety of omega-groups. We prove that this notion encompasses Higgins's commutator, Froehlich's central extensions and the Peiffer commutator of…

We show that the Baumslag-Solitar group $BS(1,2)$ is undistorted in the Lodha-Moore group $G_0$ using an explicit lower bound for the word length of $G_0$. We also show that Thompson's group $F$ is distorted in $G_0$.

The aim of this paper is to study the $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongation of central extensions. We obtain the obstruction theory for $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongations and classify $(\alpha, \gamma)$-prolongations thanks to low-dimensional…

Given a connected linear algebraic group $G$, we descrive the subgroup of $G$ generated by all semisimple elements.

Let $(G,+)$ be a finite abelian group. Then, $\so(G)$ and $\eta(G)$ denote the smallest integer $\ell$ such that each sequence over $G$ of length at least $\ell$ has a subsequence whose terms sum to $0$ and whose length is equal to and at…

We discuss condensed left-orderings and develop new techniques to show that the conjugacy relation on the space of left-orderings is not smooth. These techniques apply to the solvable Baumslag Solitar groups and to Thompson's group F.

A survey of results on the residual properties of Baumslag -- Solitar groups which have been obtained to date.

A one-relator surface group is the quotient of an orientable surface group by the normal closure of a single relator. A Magnus subgroup is the fundamental group of a suitable incompressible sub-surface. A number of results are proved about…

Conjugacy separability of any group of the class of one-relator groups given by the presentation $<a, b; [a^m,b^n]=1>$ ($m,n>1$) is proven.

We give a criterion of the existence of a presentation with a single relation for the commutator subgroup $RC_{\mathscr{K}}'$ of a right-angled Coxeter group $RC_{\mathscr{K}}$. Namely, we prove that $RC_{\mathscr{K}}'$ is a one-relator…

We investigate structural properties of non-sofic groups, assuming that such groups exist. We introduce and study two classes: minimal non-sofic groups and $\omega$-non-sofic groups. For minimal non-sofic groups, we establish strong…

We study the Diophantine problem, i.e. the decision problem of solving systems of equations, for some families of one-relator groups, and provide some background for why this problem is of interest. The method used is primarily the…
