For a regular representation $H \subseteq \text{Sym}_n$ of the generalized quaternion group of order $n=4k$, with $k\geq 2$, the monoid $S_n(H)$ presented with generators $a_1,a_2,\dots ,a_n$ and with relations $a_1a_2\cdots…

We show that any infinite collection $(\Gamma_n)_{n\in \mathbb N}$ of icc, hyperbolic, property (T) groups satisfies the following von Neumann algebraic \emph{infinite product rigidity} phenomenon. If $\Lambda$ is an arbitrary group such…

We describe the structure of the irreducible representations of crossed products of unital C*-algebras by actions of finite groups in terms of irreducible representations of the C*-algebras on which the groups act. We then apply this…

We construct, in locally compact, second countable, amenable groups, sets with large density that fail to have certain combinatorial properties. For the property of being a shift of a set of measurable recurrence we show that this is…

We study the notion of permutation stability (or P-stability) for countable groups. Our main result provides a wide class of non-amenable product groups which are not P-stable. This class includes the product group $\Sigma\times\Lambda$,…

We introduce the notion of tracial amenability for actions of discrete groups on unital, tracial C$^*$-algebras, as a weakening of amenability where all the relevant approximations are done in the uniform trace norm. We characterize tracial…

We prove two results. (1) There is an absolute constant $D$ such that for any finite quasisimple group $S$, given 2D arbitrary automorphisms of $S$, every element of $S$ is equal to a product of $D$ `twisted commutators' defined by the…

The goal of this paper is to study primitive groups that are contained in the union of maximal (in the symmetric group) imprimitive groups. The study of types of permutations that appear inside primitive groups goes back to the origins of…

We study the base sizes of finite quasiprimitive permutation groups of twisted wreath type, which are precisely the finite permutation groups with a unique minimal normal subgroup that is also non-abelian, non-simple and regular. Every…

Given a sequence of $(G_i)_{i \in \N}$ of finite transitive groups of degree $n_i$, let $W_\infty$ be the inverse limit of the iterated permutational wreath products of the first m groups. We prove that $W_\infty$ is (topologically)…

Tensor network methods have proved to be highly effective in addressing a wide variety of physical scenarios, including those lacking an intrinsic one-dimensional geometry. In such contexts, it is possible for the problem to exhibit a weak…

We make a comprehensive and self-contained study of compact bicrossed products arising from matched pairs of discrete groups and compact groups. We exhibit an automatic regularity property of such a matched pair and and produce an easy…

Let $G = X \wr H$ be the wreath product of a nontrivial finite group $X$ with $k$ conjugacy classes and a transitive permutation group $H$ of degree $n$ acting on the set of $n$ direct factors of $X^n$. If $H$ is semiprimitive, then $k(G)…

We show that for any finitely generated group of matrices that is not virtually solvable, there is an integer m such that, given an arbitrary finite generating set for the group, one may find two elements a and b that are both products of…

The degree of commutativity of a finite group is the probability that two uniformly and randomly chosen elements commute. This notion extends naturally to finitely generated groups $G$: the degree of commutativity $\text{dc}_S(G)$, with…

A transitive permutation group $G$ on a finite set $\Omega$ is said to be pre-primitive if every $G$-invariant partition of $\Omega$ is the orbit partition of a subgroup of $G$. It follows that pre-primitivity and quasiprimitivity are…

We study universal groups for right-angled buildings. Inspired by Simon Smith's work on universal groups for trees, we explicitly allow local groups that are not necessarily finite nor transitive. We discuss various topological and…

An example of an extension of a completely simple semigroup U by a group H is given which cannot be embedded into the wreath product of U by H. On the other hand, every central extension of U by H is shown to be embeddable in the wreath…

In a previous paper [1] [MR4101040], we initiated a systematic study of semihypergroups and had a thorough discussion about some important analytic and algebraic objects associated to this class of objects. In this paper, we investigate…

Let G be one of the local gauge groups C(X,U(n)), C^\infty(X,U(n)), C(X,SU(n)) or C^\infty(X,SU(n)) where X is a compact Riemannian manifold. We observe that G has a nontrivial group topology, coarser than its natural topology, w.r.t. which…
