We show that just infinite quotients of finitely generated subgroups of Richard Thompson's group F are virtually abelian, answering a question of Grigorchuk. We show the same holds for the group of piecewise linear orientation preserving…

Groups that can be approximated by finite groups have been the center of much research. This has led to the investigations of the subgroups of metric ultraproducts of finite groups. This paper attempts to study the dual problem: what are…

Every torsion--free abelian group of finite rank has two essentially unique complete direct decompositions whose summands come from specific classes of groups.

We define a class $\mathcal{U}$ of solvable groups of finite abelian section rank which includes all such groups that are virtually torsion-free as well as those that are finitely generated. Assume that $G$ is a group in $\mathcal{U}$ and…

Answering Questions 19.23 and 19.24 from the Kourovka notebook we construct polycyclic groups with arbitrary torsion lengths and give examples of finitely presented groups whose quotients by their torsion subgroups are not finitely…

We provide new constraints for algebro-geometric subgroups of mapping class groups, namely images of fundamental groups of curves under complex algebraic maps to the moduli space of smooth curves. Specifically, we prove that the restriction…

The topological group version of the celebrated Banach-Mazur problem asks wether every infinite topological group has a non-trivial separable quotient group. It is known that compact groups have infinite separable metrizable quotient…

As a common non-trivial generalization of the notion of a generalized co-Bassian group, recently defined by the third author, we introduce the notion of a semi-generalized co-Bassian group and initiate its comprehensive study. Specifically,…

It is well known that the rational torsion of an abelian variety defined over a number field injects into the reduction modulo any sufficiently large prime, so the order of the torsion group divides the greatest common divisor of the sizes…

Finding the number of maximal subgroups of infinite index of a finitely generated group is a natural problem that has been solved for several classes of `geometric' groups (linear groups, hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, etc). Here…

In \cite{Oh22}, the second author defined a complex of groups decomposition of the fundamental group of a finitely generated 2-dimensional special group, called an \emph{intersection complex}, which is a quasi-isometry invariant. In this…

In this paper, we study lower bounds on the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of a discrete group based on the amount of torsion it contains. We call this the finite part of the operator K-theory and give a lower bound that is valid for…

We prove that the quotient of the Brauer group of a product of varieties over k by the sum of the images of the Brauer groups of factors has finite exponent. The bulk of the proof concerns p-primary torsion in characteristic p. Our approach…

Birman-Lubotzky-McCarthy proved that any abelian subgroup of the mapping class groups for orientable surfaces is finitely generated. We apply Birman-Lubotzky-McCarthy's arguments to the mapping class groups for non-orientable surfaces. We…
