Let $S$ be the semigroup with identity, generated by $x$ and $y$, subject to $y$ being invertible and $yx=xy^2$. We study two Banach algebra completions of the semigroup algebra $\mathbb{C}S$. Both completions are shown to be left-primitive…

In this paper we investigate finitely generated ideals in the Nevanlinna class. We prove analogues to some known results for the algebra of bounded analytic functions $H^{\infty}$. We also show that, in contrast to the $H^{\infty}$-case,…

Let $G$ be a discrete group, let $p\ge1$, and let $\omega$ be a weight on $G$. Using the approach from [9], we provide sufficient conditions on a weight $\omega$ for $\ell^p(G,\omega)$ to be a Banach algebra admitting a norm-controlled…

We examine the condition that a complex Banach algebra $A$ have dense invertible group. We show that, for commutative algebras, this property is preserved by integral extensions. We also investigate the connections with an old problem in…

We show Laplacian algebras are maximal, and give applications to the Classical Invariant Theory of real orthogonal representations of compact groups, including: The solution of the Inverse Invariant Theory problem for finite groups. An…

We study model geometries of finitely generated groups. If a finitely generated group does not contain a non-trivial finite rank free abelian commensurated subgroup, we show any model geometry is dominated by either a symmetric space of…

Let A be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field with the radical nilpotent of index 2. It is shown that A has finitely many conjugacy classes of left ideals if and only if A is of finite representation type provided…

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…

In this paper, for a Banach algebra A, we introduced the new notions of approximately left $\phi$-biprojective and approximately left character biprojective, where $\phi$ is a non-zero multiplicative linear functional on A. We show that for…

Let $G$ be a locally compact, compactly generated group of polynomial growth and let $\omega$ be a weight on $G$. Under proper assumptions on the weight $\omega$, the Banach space $L^p(G,\omega)$ is a Banach \ast-algebra. In this paper we…

We explore transversals of finite index subgroups of finitely generated groups. We show that when $H$ is a subgroup of a rank $n$ group $G$ and $H$ has index at least $n$ in $G$ then we can construct a left transversal for $H$ which…

Let $A$ be the $n$-th Weyl algebra over a field of characteristic zero, and $\varphi:A\rightarrow A$ an endomorphism with $S = \varphi(A)$. We prove that if $A$ is finitely generated as a left or right $S$-module, then $S = A$. The proof…

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

Let G be a group and H be a subgroup of G. We say that H is left relatively convex in G if the left G-set G/H has at least one G-invariant order; when G is left orderable, this holds if and only if H is convex in G under some left ordering…

We prove that the minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z)$ of the discrete group $Z$ of integers are metrizable topological semigroups, topologically isomorphic to minimal left ideals of the superextension $\lambda(Z_2)$ of…

The following refinement of the Higman embedding theorem is proved: A finitely generated group $R$ is recursively presented if and only if there exists a quasi-isometric malnormal embedding of $R$ into a finitely presented group $H$ such…

We show that every definable group G in an o-minimal structure is definably finitely generated. That is, G contains a finite subset that is not included in any proper definable subgroup. This provides another proof, and a generalization to…

A subgroup $\Delta\leq \Gamma$ is commensurated if $|\Delta:\Delta\cap \gamma\Delta\gamma^{-1}|<\infty$ for all $\gamma\in \Gamma$. We show a finitely generated branch group is just infinite if and only if every commensurated subgroup is…

When optimization theorists consider optimization problems in infinite dimensional spaces, they need to deal with closed convex subsets(usually cones) which mostly have empty interior. These subsets often prevent optimization theorists from…

Let $H$ and $K$ be locally compact groups and $\tau:H\to Aut(K)$ be a continuous homomorphism and also let $G_\tau=H\ltimes_\tau K$ be the semi-direct product of $H$ and $K$ with respect to $\tau$. We define left and also right…
