Let \Gamma be one of the N^2-dimensional bicovariant first order differential calculi on the orthogonal or symplectic quantum group O_q(N) or Sp_q(N). The parameter q is not a root of unity. We show that the second antisymmetrizer exterior…

We show that for certain integers $n$, the problem of whether or not a Cayley digraph $\Gamma$ of $\mathbb Z_n$ is also isomorphic to a Cayley digraph of some other abelian group $G$ of order $n$ reduces to the question of whether or not a…

Let Omega be a quasisimple classical group in its natural representation over a finite vector space V, and let Delta be its normaliser in the general linear group. We construct the projection from Delta to Delta/Omega and provide fast,…

Every finitely generated self-similar group naturally produces an infinite sequence of finite $d$-regular graphs $\Gamma_n$. We construct self-similar groups, whose graphs $\Gamma_n$ can be represented as an iterated zig-zag product and…

By an automorphism of a topological group G we mean an isomorphism of G onto itself which is also a homeomorphism. In this article, we study the automorphism group Aut(G) of a dense subgroup G of R^n, n>=1. We show that Aut(G) can be…

The topological symmetry group $\mathrm{TSG}(\Gamma)$ of an embedding $\Gamma$ of a graph in $S^3$ is the subgroup of the automorphism group of the graph which is induced by homeomorphisms of $(S^3,\Gamma)$. If we restrict to orientation…

We define geometric/unipotent crystal structure on unipotent subgroups of semi-simple algebraic groups. We shall show that in $A_n$-case, their ultra-discretizations coincide with crystals obtained by generalizing Young tableaux.

Using a filtration on the Grothendieck ring of triangulated categories, we define the categorical dimension of a birational map between smooth projective varieties. We show that birational automorphisms of bounded categorical dimension form…

Crystals which have a uniform distribution of defects are endowed with a Lie group description which allows one to construct an associated discrete structure. These structures are in fact the discrete subgroups of the ambient Lie group. The…

Using the canonical JSJ splitting, we describe the outer automorphism group $\Out(G)$ of a one-ended word hyperbolic group $G$. In particular, we discuss to what extent $\Out(G)$ is virtually a direct product of mapping class groups and a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group of finite virtual cohomological dimension with certain finiteness conditions of the type satisfied by arithmetic groups. We define a representation ring for $\Gamma$, determined on its elements of finite…

In this article, we prove that if all non-trivial cyclic subgroups of a group $G$ are self normalizing and $G$ satisfies the implication $$ \ o(x)\neq o(y)\Rightarrow o(xy)\neq o(x), o(y), $$ for all non-trivial elements $x$ and $y$, then…

Let $N$ be a complete affine manifold $A^n/\Gamma$ of dimension $n$ where $\Gamma$ is an affine transformation group and $K(\Gamma, 1)$ is realized as a finite CW-complex. $N$ has a partially hyperbolic holonomy group if the tangent bundle…

Using the Guirardel-Levitt outer space of a free product, we prove that the outer automorphism group of the outer automorphism group of the universal Coxeter group of rank $n \geq 5$ is trivial, and that it is a cyclic group of order 2 if…

We study the torsion free generalized crystallographic groups with the indecomposable holonomy group which is isomorphic to either a cyclic group of order ${p^s}$ or a direct product of two cyclic groups of order ${p}$.

This note gives an elementary proof that the symmetric groups possess only one exceptional symmetry. I am referring to the fact that the outer automorphism group of the symmetric group $S_n$ is trivial unless $n=6$ and the outer…

The random triangular group $\Gamma(n,p)$ is the group given by a random group presentation with $n$ generators in which every relator of length three is present independently with probability $p$. We show that in the evolution of…

Crystallographic groups describe the symmetries of crystals and other repetitive structures encountered in nature and the sciences. These groups include the wallpaper and space groups. We derive linear and nonlinear representations of…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed, orientable, hyperbolic surface $S$. The $n$-power quotient, $\Gamma(n)$, is the quotient of $\Gamma$ by the $n$th powers of simple closed curves. We prove an analogue of the…

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $\Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $\SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite…
