In this note, we exhibit a method to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture (with coefficients) for extensions with finite quotients of certain groups which already satisfy the Baum-Connes conjecture. Interesting examples to which this method…

We present a class of abelian groups that exhibit a high degree of freeness while possessing no non-trivial homomorphisms to a canonical free object. Unlike prior investigations, which primarily focused on torsion-free groups, our work…

By analogy with the definition of group with triality we introduce Lie algebra with triality as Lie algebra L wich admits the group of automorphisms S_3={s,r | s^2=r^3=1, srs=r^2} such that for any x\in L we have…

For every finitely generated free group $F$, we construct an irreducible open $3$-manifold $M_F$ whose end set is homeomorphic to a Cantor set, and with the end homogeneity group of $M_F$ isomorphic to $F$. The end homogeneity group is the…

We first prove that the Whitehead group of a torsion-free virtually solvable linear group vanishes. Next we make a reduction of the fibered isomorphism conjecture from virtually solvable groups to a class of virtually solvable Q-linear…

We study the Lie ring $\mathfrak{nil}_n$ of all strictly upper-triangular $n\!\times\!n$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb{Z}$. Its complete homology for $n\!\leq\!8$ is computed. We prove that every $p^m$-torsion appears in…

The McCool group, denoted $P\Sigma_n$, is the group of pure symmetric automorphisms of a free group of rank $n$. The cohomology algebra $H^*(P\Sigma_n, \mathbb{Q})$ was determined by Jensen, McCammond and Meier. We prove that…

We show that a well-known exact sequence in K-theory for quotients of triangulated categories descends to numerical K-groups provided that the category, the quotient and the category we take the quotient with has a numerical K-group, and if…

In this article, we show that the group comprising piecewise-linear homeomorphisms of the real line with bounded slopes is not simple. Furthermore, we establish that a quotient of this group is torsion-free, and importantly, the center of…

A proof of the Borel completeness of torsion free abelian groups is presented. This proof differs considerably from the approach of Paolini-Shelah.

In this paper, we introduce the notions of a $3$-$Lie_\infty$-algebra and a 3-Lie 2-algebra. The former is a model for a 3-Lie algebra that satisfy the fundamental identity up to all higher homotopies, and the latter is the categorification…

We show that torsion-free finitely generated nilpotent groups are characterised by their group C*-algebras and we additionally recover their nilpotency class as well as the subquotients of the upper central series. We then use a C*-bundle…

R. Lawrence and D. Sullivan have constructed a Lie model for an interval from the geometrical idea of flat connections and flows of gauge transformations. Their model supports an action of the symmetric group $\Sigma_2$ reflecting the…

We classify all torsion-free derived arithmetic Fuchsian groups of genus two by commensurability class. In particular, we show that there exist no such groups arising from quaternion algebras over number fields of degree greater than 5. We…

According to Lazard, every p-adic Lie group contains an open pro-p subgroup which is saturable. This can be regarded as the starting point of p-adic Lie theory, as one can naturally associate to every saturable pro-p group G a Lie lattice…

We compute the integral Picard group of the stack $\mathcal{M}_{2l}$ of polarized K3 surfaces with at most rational double points of degree $2l=4,6,8$. We show that in this range the integral Picard group is torsion-free and that a basis is…

We prove that the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(N_g)$ of a closed nonorientable surface of genus $g$ different than 4 is generated by three torsion elements. Moreover, for every even integer $k\ge 12$ and $g$ of the form $g=pk+2q(k-1)$…

Let $k$ be a division ring and let $G$ be either a torsion-free virtually compact special group or a finitely generated torsion-free $3$-manifold group. We embed the group algebra $kG$ in a division ring and prove that the embedding is…

It is shown that the reduced C*-algebra of a nontrivial linear group $\Gamma<GL_{d}(k)$ with trivial amenable radical is selfless. Thus selflessness and simplicity coincide for reduced C*-algebras of linear groups. Similar results are…

For any field $\mathbb{F}$ and all torison-free group $\mathbb{G}$, we prove that if $ab = 0$ for some non-zero $a, b \in \mathbb{F}[\mathbb{G}]$ such that $|supp(a)|$ $= 3$ and $a = 1 + \alpha_{1}g_{1} + \alpha_{2}g_{2}$, then $g_{1},…
