A celebrated theorem of Marshall Hall Jr. implies that finitely generated free groups are subgroup separable and that all of their finitely generated subgroups are retracts of finite-index subgroups. We use topological techniques inspired…

We present an identification theorem for the groups $F_4(2)$ and $Aut(F_4(2))$ based on the structure of the centralizer of an element of order 3.

Let $(K,\mathcal O,k)$ be a $p$-modular system and assume $k$ is algebraically closed. We show that if $\Lambda$ is an $\mathcal O$-order in a separable $K$-algebra, then $\textrm{Pic}_{\mathcal O}(\Lambda)$ carries the structure of an…

We show certain standard constructions of the theory of Verdier triangulated categories to be valid in the Heller triangulated framework as well; viz. Karoubi hull, exactness of adjoints, localisation.

Formal (mixed) Hodge structures FHS are introduced in such a way that the Hodge realization of Deligne's 1-motives extends to a realization from Laumon's 1-motives to formal Hodge structures of level 1, providing an equivalence of…

We consider formal power series $f(z) = \omega z + a_2z^2 + \ldots \ (\omega \neq 0)$, with coefficients in a field of characteristic $0$. These form a group under the operation of composition (= substitution). We prove (Theorem 1) that…

The controlled end and h-cobrodism theorems (Ends of maps I, 1979) are used to give quick proofs of the Top/PL and PL/DIFF product structure theorems.

We give a direct and elementary proof of the theorem on formal functions by studying the behaviour of the Godement resolution of a sheaf of modules under completion.

The Herzog-Sch\"onheim conjecture states that if $H_1, \ldots, H_k$ are subgroups of a group $G$ and $x_1, \ldots, x_k$ are elements of $G$ such that $H_1x_1, \ldots, H_kx_k$ is a partition of $G$ into cosets, then two of these subgroups…

We prove a Ramsey theorem for finite sets equipped with a partial order and a fixed number of linear orders extending the partial order. This is a common generalization of two recent Ramsey theorems due to Soki\'c. As a bonus, our proof…

I prove preservation theorems for countable support iteration of proper forcing concerning certain classes of capacities and submeasures. New examples of forcing notions and connections with measure theory are included.

Using the Geometrization Theorem we prove a result on centralizers in fundamental groups of 3-manifolds. This result had been obtained by Jaco and Shalen and by Johannson using different techniques.

We define a natural notion of higher order stability and show that subsets of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ that are tame in this sense can be approximately described by a union of low-complexity quadratic varieties, up to linear error. This generalizes…

We show that the automorphism groups of countably categorical linear orders are extremely amenable. Using methods of Kechris, Pestov, and Todorcevic, we use this fact to derive a structural Ramsey theorem for certain families of finite…

For $k, \ell \in \mathbb{N}$, we introduce the concepts of $k$-ultrahomogeneity and $\ell$-tuple regularity for finite groups. Inspired by analogous concepts in graph theory, these form a natural generalization of homogeneity, which was…

Using a ``3 by 3 matrix trick'' we previously showed that multiplication in a C*-algebra A, an algebraic structure, is determined by the geometry of the C*-algebra of the 3 by 3 matrices with entries from A. As an application of this…

Let A be a subset of a group G = (G,.). We will survey the theory of sets A with the property that |A.A| <= K|A|, where A.A = {a_1 a_2 : a_1, a_2 in A}. The case G = (Z,+) is the famous Freiman--Ruzsa theorem.

We investigate the orderability properties of fundamental groups of 3-dimensional manifolds. Many 3-manifold groups support left-invariant orderings, including all compact P^2-irreducible manifolds with positive first Betti number. For…

We give a proof of the geometric fundamental lemma of Kottwitz. As explained by Laumon, this implies the fundamental lemma for the unitary groups.

We show that the Poincar\'e lemma we proved elsewhere in the context of crystalline cohomology of higher level behaves well with regard to the Hodge filtration. This allows us to prove the Poincar\'e lemma for transversal crystals of level…
