Let $d \geq 2$ be an integer. We conjecture that there is a finitely generated perfect group whose homomorphic images include all finite $d$-generated perfect groups. We prove a special case of this conjecture for the finite perfect groups…

We determine the factorial growth rate of the number of finite index subgroups of right-angled Artin groups as a function of the index. This turns out to depend solely on the independence number of the defining graph. We also make a…

We define a large class of abstract Coxeter groups, that we call $\infty$--spanned, and for which the word growth rate and the geodesic growth rate appear to be Perron numbers. This class contains a fair amount of Coxeter groups acting on…

We provide the combinatorial proofs of the log-convexity for the derangement numbers in the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$, hyperoctahedral group $\mathfrak{B}_n$, and the demihyperoctahedral group $\mathfrak{D}_n$. We also show that the…

This paper discusses the asymptotic behaviour of the number of descents in a random signed permutation and its inverse, which was posed as an open problem by Chatterjee and Diaconis in a recent publication. For that purpose, we generalize…

We construct a 2-generator recursively presented group with infinite torsion length. We also explore the construction in the context of solvable and word-hyperbolic groups.

A right-angled Coxeter group is a group with a given set of generators of order two, subject only to the relations that certain pairs of the generators commute. Various papers have shown how homological properties of the Coxeter group are…

This is the third one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with orthogonal groups in odd dimension.

Arc permutations, which were originally introduced in the study of triangulations and characters, have recently been shown to have interesting combinatorial properties. The first part of this paper continues their study by providing signed…

In this paper we prove a series of matching theorems for two sets of Coxeter generators of a finitely generated Coxeter group that identify common features of the two sets of generators. As an application, we describe an algorithm for…

We provide involutory symmetric generating sets of finitely generated Coxeter groups, fulfilling a suitable finiteness condition, which in particular is fulfilled in the finite, affine and compact hyperbolic cases.

We give explicit formulas for Whittaker functions for the class one principal series representations of the orthogonal groups $ SO_{2n+1}(\R) $ of odd degree. Our formulas are similar to the recursive formulas for Whittaker functions on…

We study the relative growth of finitely generated subgroups in finitely generated groups, and the corresponding distortion function of the embeddings. We explore which functions are equivalent to the relative growth functions and…

For Coxeter groups with sufficiently large braid relations, we prove that the sequence of powers of a Coxeter element has unbounded reflection length. We establish a connection between the reflection length functions on arbitrary Coxeter…

In this paper we study the commensurability of hyperbolic Coxeter groups of finite covolume, providing three necessary conditions for commensurability. Moreover we tackle different topics around the field of definition of a hyperbolic…

An odd Coxeter group $W$ is one which admits a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ for which all the exponents $m_{ij}$ are either odd or infinity. The paper investigates the family of odd Coxeter groups whose associated labeled graphs…

We give formulas for the second and third integral homology of an arbitrary finitely generated Coxeter group, solely in terms of the corresponding Coxeter diagram. The first of these calculations refines a theorem of Howlett, while the…

Operators acting on the discrete random chaos yield signed multiplicative systems, extending the notion of spin matrices and quaternions. We investigate signed groups through the associated sign matrices, focusing on generators and their…

We define and study cocycles on a Coxeter group in each degree generalizing the sign function. When the Coxeter group is a Weyl group, we explain how the degree three cocycle arises naturally from geometry representation theory.

The aim of this note is to establish an interesting hypergeometric generating relation contiguous to that of Exton by a short method.
