Free groups have many applications in Algebraic Topology. In this paper I specifically study the finitely generated free groups by using the covering spaces and fundamental groups. By the Van Kampen's theorem, we have a famous fact that the…

In this paper we describe finitely generated groups $H$ universally equivalent (with constants from $G$ in the language) to a given torsion-free relatively hyperbolic group $G$ with free abelian parabolics. It turns out that, as in the free…

We prove that finitely generated virtually free groups are stable in permutations. As an application, we show that almost-periodic almost-automorphisms of labelled graphs are close to periodic automorphisms.

In the present paper we continue studying regular free group actions on $\mathbb{Z}^n$-trees. We show that every finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}^n$-free group $G$ can be embedded into a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}^n$-free group $H$ acting…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group, $A$ a finite set of generators and $K$ a subgroup of $G$. We call the pair $(G,K)$ context-free if the set of all words over $A$ that reduce in $G$ to an element of $K$ is a context-free language. When…

We prove that Thompson's group $F$ has a subgroup $H$ such that the conjugacy problem in $H$ is undecidable and the membership problem in $H$ is easily decidable. The subgroup $H$ of $F$ is a closed subgroup of $F$. That is, every function…

We prove that the finitely presentable subgroups of residually free groups are separable and that the subgroups of type $\mathrm{FP}_\infty$ are virtual retracts. We describe a uniform solution to the membership problem for finitely…

Our purpose is to visualize the pronilpotent completion of a finitely generated free group as a certain subgroup in the free Lie group.

A finitely generated virtually free pro-p group with finite centralizers of its torsion elements is the free pro-p product of finite p-groups and a free pro-p factor.

A finitely generated group is lacunary hyperbolic if one of its asymptotic cones is an $\mathbb{R}$-tree. In this article we give a necessary and sufficient condition on lacunary hyperbolic groups in order to be stable under free product by…

In this note we prove that finitely generated virtually free groups are stable with respect to a normalized $p$-Schatten norm for $1\leq p < \infty$. In particular, this implies that virtually free groups are Hilbert-Schmidt stable.

We generalize the notion of a graph automatic group introduced by Kharlampovich, Khoussainov and Miasnikov (arXiv:1107.3645) by replacing the regular languages in their definition with more powerful language classes. For a fixed language…

The word problem for discrete groups is well-known to be undecidable by a Turing Machine; more precisely, it is reducible both to and from and thus equivalent to the discrete Halting Problem. The present work introduces and studies a real…

A finitary automaton group is a group generated by an invertible, deterministic finite-state letter-to-letter transducer whose only cycles are self-loops at an identity state. We show that, for this presentation of finite groups, the…

We study a class of generalisations of Thompson's group $V$ arising naturally as topological full groups of purely infinite, minimal groupoids. In the process, we show that the derived subgroup of such a group is 2-generated whenever it is…
