We prove that the reduced Kurosh rank of the intersection of two subgroups $H$ and $K$ of a free product of right-orderable groups is bounded above by the product of the reduced Kurosh ranks of $H$ and $K$. In particular, taking the…

Let $G$ be a group. The intersection graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathscr{I}(G)$, is a graph with all the proper subgroups of $G$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices in $\mathscr{I}(G)$ are adjacent if and only if the…

The famous Hanna Neumann Conjecture (now the Friedman-Mineyev theorem) gives an upper bound for the ranks of the intersection of arbitrary subgroups $H$ and $K$ of a non-abelian free group. It is an interesting question to `quantify' this…

Let $G\leqslant\mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$ be transitive, and let $S$ be an intersecting subset, namely, the ratio $xy^{-1}$ of any elements $x,y\in S$ fixes some point. An EKR-type problem is to characterize transitive groups…

Let H, K be subgroups of G. We investigate the intersection properties of left and right cosets of these subgroups.

Let G be a finite group acting freely on a compact oriented surface S by homeomorphisms preserving the orientation. Then, there exists a G-invariant Lagrangian subspace in the first homology group of S.

A group $G$ is called a Howson group if the intersection $H\cap K$ of any two finitely generated subgroups $H, K<G$ is again finitely generated, and called a strongly Howson group when a uniform bound for the rank of $H\cap K$ can be…

In this article, we introduce the study of a class of finite groups $G$ which admits a subgroup which intersects all non-trivial subgroups of $G$. We also explore a subclass of it consisting of all groups $G$ in which the prime order…

Let $T$ be a tree and $e$ an edge in $T$. If $C$ is a component of $T\setminus e$ and both $C$ and its complement are infinite we say that $C$ is a half-tree. The main result of this paper is that if $G$ is a closed subgroup of the…

We answer a question posed by Fielder in [1] concerning two notions of crossing number for algebraic knots $K$ under Hopf fibration, one topological, denoted $h(K)$, the other coming from the realization of such knots around complex…

If a finite p-group G acts continuously on a compact topological manifold M then, with some bound C depending on M alone, G has a subgroup H of index at most C such that the H-action on M has at most C stabilizer subgroups. This result…

For a permutation group $G$ acting on a set $V$, a subset $\mathcal{F}$ of $G$ is said to be an intersecting set if for every pair of elements $g,h\in \mathcal{F}$ there exists $v \in V$ such that $g(v) = h(v)$. The intersection density…

Let $K$ be a multiquadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and let $\text{Cl}^{+}(K)$ be its narrow class group. Recently, the authors \cite{KP} gave a bound for $|\text{Cl}^{+}(K)[2]|$ only in terms of the degree of $K$ and the number of…

Let $H$ be an open subgroup of a profinite group that can be expressed as intersection of maximal subgroups of $G.$ Given a positive real number $\eta,$ we say that $H$ is an $\eta$-intersection if there exists a family of maximal subgroups…

We settle an old conjecture of Karrass and Solitar by proving that a finitely generated subgroup of a non-trivial free product $G = A\ast B$ has finite index if and only if it intersects non-trivially each non-trivial normal subgroup of…

A subset $\mathcal{F}$ of a finite transitive group $G\leq \operatorname{Sym}(\Omega)$ is intersecting if for any $g,h\in \mathcal{F}$ there exists $\omega \in \Omega$ such that $\omega^g = \omega^h$. The \emph{intersection density}…

Given a bounded valence, bushy tree T, we prove that any cobounded quasi-action of a group G on T is quasiconjugate to an action of G on another bounded valence, bushy tree T'. This theorem has many applications: quasi-isometric rigidity…

We prove height bounds concerning intersections of finitely generated subgroups in a torus with algebraic subvarieties, all varying in a pencil. This vastly extends the previously treated constant case and involves entirely different, and…

We study group actions on multitrees, which are directed graphs in which there is at most one directed path between any two vertices. In our main result we describe a six-term exact sequence in $K$-theory for the reduced crossed product…

We investigate the intersection problem for finite semigroups, which asks for a given set of regular languages, represented by recognizing morphisms to finite semigroups, whether there exists a word contained in their intersection. We…
