We provide new information about the structure of the abelian group of topological concordance classes of knots in $S^3$. One consequence is that there is a subgroup of infinite rank consisting entirely of knots with vanishing Casson-Gordon…
In this note, we classify all finite groups having exactly 6, 7 or 8 cyclic subgroups. This gives a partial answer to the open problem posed by Tarnauceanu (Amer. Math. Monthly, 122 (2015), 275-276). As a consequence of our results, we also…
We classify Legendrian rational unknots with tight complements in the lens spaces L(p,1) up to coarse equivalence. As an example of the general case, this classification is also worked out for L(5,2). The knots are described explicitly in a…
A group $G$ is said to have dense normalizers if each non-empty open interval in its subgroup lattice $L(G)$ contains the normalizer of a certain subgroup of $G$. In this note, we find all finite groups satisfying this property. We also…
We study the existence of lattices in almost abelian Lie groups that admit left invariant locally conformal K\"ahler or locally conformal symplectic structures in order to obtain compact solvmanifolds equipped with these geometric…
We study quasi-isometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and non-uniform irreducible lattices in semisimple higher rank Lie groups. We show that any quasi-isometric embedding between symmetric spaces of the same rank can be decomposed into a…
By studying the action of the Weyl group of a simple Lie algebra on its root lattice, we construct torsion free subgroups of small and explicitly determined index in a large infinite class of Coxeter groups. One spin-off is the construction…
We classify integral rootless lattices which are sums of pairs of $EE_8$-lattices (lattices isometric to $\sqrt 2$ times the $E_8$-lattice) and which define dihedral groups of orders less than or equal to 12. Most of these may be seen in…
We show that arithmetic lattices in $\mathrm{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{R})$, stemming from the proper units of an Eichler order in an indefinite quaternion algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$, admit a `small' covering set. In particular, we give bounds on the…
In this article we prove that the co-compactness of the arithmetic lattices in a connected semisimple real Lie group is preserved if the lattices under consideration are representation equivalent. This is in the spirit of the question posed…
We show that cocompact lattices in rank one simple Lie groups of non-compact type distinct from SO(2m,1) (m>0) contain surface subgroups.
A group $G$ with conjugation operation is a rack. We call such racks \emph{group racks}. In this paper we study finite group racks via their subrack lattices. Heckenberger, Shareshian, and Welker proved that the isomorphism type of the…
In this paper, we continue with the results in \cite{Pg} and compute the group of quasi-isometries for a subclass of split solvable unimodular Lie groups. Consequently, we show that any finitely generated group quasi-isometric to a member…
These notes are devoted to lattices in products of trees and related topics. They provide an introduction to the construction, by M. Burger and S. Mozes, of examples of such lattices that are simple as abstract groups. Two features of that…
We study piecewise linear knot diagrams in the base of almost toric fibrations of symplectic four-manifolds. These diagrams translate to deformations of the almost toric fibration. We give several applications to symplectic topology, among…
Based on the notion of Darboux-KP chain hierarchy and its invariant submanifolds we construct some class of constraints compatible with integrable lattices. Some simple examples are given.
We determine C-special subgroups of the Bianchi groups of index bounded above by 120 by effectivising the arguments of Agol-Long-Reid. These subgroups are congruence of level 2 or 4 and retract to the free group on two generators. As a…
We show that the number of noncommensurable lattices, hence also that of maximal lattices in SO(1,n) is at least exponential. To do so we construct large families of noncommensurable hybrid hyperbolic (Gromov/Piatetski-Shapiro) manifolds.
We determine many of the atoms of the algebraic lattices arising in $\mathfrak{q}$-theory of finite semigroups.
We compute invariants of quadratic forms associated to orthogonal hypergeometric groups of degree five. This allows us to determine some commensurabilities between these groups, as well as to say when some thin groups cannot be conjugate to…
