We introduce and develop the notion of scalar extension for abelian categories. Given a field extension F'/F, to every F-linear abelian category A satisfying a suitable finiteness condition we associate an F'-linear abelian category A' and…

Let G be a torsion--free abelian group of finite rank. The automorphism group Aut(G) acts on the set of maximal independent subsets of G. The orbits of this action are the isomorphism classes of indecomposable decompositions of G. G…

For every positive integer $n$, we construct, using algebraic groups, an infinite family of irreducible algebraic varieties $X$,whose automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(X)$ contains the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(F_n)$ of a free group $F_n$…

We show that all finitely generated free-by-cyclic groups are conjugacy separable: if a finitely generated group $G$ surjects onto $\mathbb{Z}$ with free kernel, then for every pair of non-conjugate elements $g,h\in G$, there exists a…

Borel's stability and vanishing theorem gives the stable cohomology of $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$ with coefficients in algebraic $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$-representations. By combining the Borel theorem with the Hochschild-Serre spectral…

This paper concerns exponential contravariant functors on free groups. We obtain an equivalence of categories between analytic, exponential contravariant functors on free groups and conilpotent cocommutative Hopf algebras. This result…

The congruence subgroup problem for a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ asks whether the map $\hat{Aut\left(\Gamma\right)}\to Aut(\hat{\Gamma})$ is injective, or more generally, what is its kernel $C\left(\Gamma\right)$? Here $\hat{X}$…

Let $N \geq 2$ and let $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ be the outer automorphism group of a nonabelian free group of rank $N$. Let $\mathrm{IA}_N(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})$ be the finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{Out}(F_N)$ which is the kernel of the…

We construct a covariant functor from a category of Abelian principal bundles over globally hyperbolic spacetimes to a category of *-algebras that describes quantized principal connections. We work within an appropriate differential…

We prove new separability results about free groups. Namely, if $H_1, \ldots , H_k$ are infinite index, finitely generated subgroups of a non-abelian free group $F$, then there exists a homomorphism onto some alternating group $f:F…

Finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class 2 are treated from the perspective of central extensions. Given finite abelian groups $G,A$, we derive an explicit formula for cocycles representing elements of $H^2(G,A)$, compute $H^2(G,A)$, and…

We give a computational approach to theorem proving in homological algebra. This approach is based on computations in the free abelian category of an additive category $\mathbf{A}$. We show that the free abelian category is amenable to…

An arbitrary homomorphism between groups is nonincreasing for stable commutator length, and there are infinitely many (injective) homomorphisms between free groups which strictly decrease the stable commutator length of some elements.…

We prove new vanishing results on the growth of higher torsion homologies for suitable arithmetic lattices, Artin groups and mapping class groups. The growth is understood along Farber sequences, in particular, along residual chains. For…

This paper develops the homological backbone of the theory of non-commutative $n$-ary $\Gamma$-semirings. Starting from an $n$-ary $\Gamma$-semiring $(T,+,\tilde{\mu})$ and its $\Gamma$-ideals, we work in the slot-sensitive categories of…

The strong isomorphism classes of extensions of finite groups are parametrized by orbits of a prescribed action on the second cohomology group. We study these orbits in the case of extensions of a finite abelian $p$-group by a cyclic factor…

Viewing group cohomology as a cohomological functor, G. Mislin has generalised Tate cohomology from finite groups to all discrete groups by defining a completion for cohomological functors in 1994. In a previous paper, we have constructed…

We prove that the abstract commensurator of a nonabelian free group, an infinite surface group, or more generally of a group that splits appropriately over a cyclic subgroup, is not finitely generated. This applies in particular to all…

We give strengthened versions of the Herwig-Lascar and Hodkinson-Otto extension theorems for partial automorphisms of finite structures. Such strengthenings yield several combinatorial and group-theoretic consequences for homogeneous…

We reformulate the persistent (co)homology of simplicial filtrations, viewed from a more algebraic setting, namely as the (co)homology of a chain complex of graded modules over polynomial ring $K[t]$. We also define persistent (co)homology…
