In this paper, we mainly discuss some generalized metric properties and the character of the free paratopological groups, and extend several results valid for free topological groups to free paratopological groups.

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be an $IC\Phi$-subgroup of $G$ if $H \cap [H,G] \le \Phi(H)$. We analyze the structure of a finite group $G$ under the assumption that some given subgroups of $G$ are $IC\Phi$-subgroups of $G$. A new…

A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…

The main result of this paper is the following theorem. Let q be a prime, A an elementary abelian group of order q^3. Suppose that A acts as a coprime group of automorphisms on a profinite group G in such a manner that C_G(a)' is periodic…

We show that the geometric and homological finiteness properties of group pairs are invariant under a suitable notion of quasi-isometry for group pairs.

For a closed surface $S$ with $\chi(S)<0$, we show that the fixed subgroup of a family $\mathcal B$ of endomorphisms of $\pi_1(S)$ has $\rk \fix\mathcal B\leq \rk \pi_1(S)$. In particular, if $\mathcal B$ contains a non-epimorphic…

We construct a finitely presented, infinite, simple group that acts by homeomorphisms on the circle, but does not admit a non-trivial action by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms on the circle. The group emerges as a group of piecewise projective…

This is a summary of some of the basic facts about flat 2-orbifold groups, otherwise known as 2-dimensional crystallographic groups. We relate the geometric and topological presentations of these groups, and consider structures…

We use Sigma-invariants to study homotopical and homological finiteness properties of fixed subgroups of automorphisms of a group $G$ in terms of its center $Z(G)$ and the induced automorphisms on its associated quotient $G/Z(G)$.…

We prove that infinite definably simple locally finite groups of finite centraliser dimension are simple groups of Lie type over locally finite fields. Then, we identify conditions on automorphisms of a stable group that make it resemble…

A morphism of linear algebraic groups $\phi:K\rightarrow G$ is called an epimorphism if it admits right cancellation. A subgroup $H\leq G$ is epimorphic if the inclusion map is an epimorphism. For $G$ a simple algebraic group over an…

We consider AF-flows, i.e., one-parameter automorphism groups of a unital simple C*-algebra which leave invariant the dense union of an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional *-subalgebras, and derive two properties for these; an absence…

Complementing and extending the Inventiones work of Benson, Grodal, Henke [Group cohomology and control of p-fusion, Invent. Math. 197 (2014), 491--507] we give criteria for a space to have cohomology (strongly) F-isomorphic in the sense of…

Let $M$ be a compact connected orientable Seifert manifold with hyperbolic orbifold $B_M$, and $f_{\pi}: \pi_1(M)\rightarrow\pi_1(M)$ be an automorphism induced by an orientation-reversing homeomorphism $f$ of $M$. We give a bound on the…

This paper develops a basic theory of H-groups. We introduce a special quotient of H-groups and extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category of H-groups and H-maps. We use these constructions to prove some…

The sets of closed and closed-normal subgroups of a profinite group carry a natural profinite topology. Through a combination of algebraic and topological methods the size of these subgroup spaces is calculated, and the spaces partially…

The main result of this paper is that all affine isometric actions of higher rank Steinberg groups over commutative rings on uniformly convex Banach spaces have a fixed point. We consider Steinberg groups over classical root systems and our…

We study isometric actions of Steinberg groups on Hadamard manifolds. We prove some rigidity properties related to these actions. In Particular we show that every isometric action of $St_n(F_p\langle t_1,\ldots ,t_k \rangle)$ on Hadamard…

The fixed point building of a polarity of a Moufang quadrangle of type $F_4$ is a Moufang set, as is the fixed point building of a semi-linear automorphism of order $2$ of a Moufang octagon that stabilizes at least two panels of one type…

We consider rational projective homogeneous varieties over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, namely quotients of a semi-simple group by a possibly non-reduced parabolic subgroup. We determine the group scheme…
