Let N be a normal subgroup of a finite group G. Let N\le H\le G such that N has a complement in H and (|N|,|G:H|)=1. If N is abelian, a theorem of Gasch\"utz asserts that N has a complement in G as well. Brandis has asked whether the…

In this paper we consider the existence of dense embeddings of Limit groups in locally compact groups generalizing earlier work of Breuillard, Gelander, Souto and Storm [GBSS] where surface groups were considered. Our main results are…

We prove that every word is strongly concise in the class of compact $R$-analytic groups.

We prove a structure theorem for the isometry group Iso(M, g) of a compact Lorentz manifold, under the assumption that a closed subgroup has exponential growth. We don't assume anything about the identity component of Iso(M, g), so that our…

We prove new upper bounds for the length of laws that hold for all groups of size at most $n$ -- improving on previous results of Bou-Rabee and Kassabov-Matucci. The methods make use of the classification of finite simple groups. Stronger…

We present a proof of a generalization of the theorem of H.~Matsumoto on Coxeter groups. Our generalized version is applicable to "graphs admitting geometric realization". The original version of the theorem for Coxeter groups is a special…

We discuss some new results concerning Gap Conjecture on group growth and present a reduction of it (and its *-version) to several special classes of groups. Namely we show that its validity for the classes of simple groups and residually…

For compact Hausdorff admissible right topological (CHART) group $G$, we prove $w(G)=\pi\chi(G)$. This equality is well known for compact topological groups. This implies the criteria for the metrizability of CHART groups: if $G$ is…

We prove a general solvable subgroup theorem in terms of length functions. As applications, we obtain a solvable subgroup theorem in dynamical systems: any solvable group of finite Hirsch length acting on a smooth manifold with uniformly…

We present a uniform version of a result of M. Gromov on the surjunctivity of maps commuting with expansive group actions and discuss several applications. We prove in particular that for any group $\Gamma$ and any field $\K$, the space of…

It is known that every finite group can be represented as the full group of automorphisms of a suitable compact dessin d'enfant. In this paper, we give a constructive and easy proof that the same holds for any countable group by considering…

We prove that every length on a simple group over a locally compact field, is either bounded or proper.

Let G be a locally compact group, and let U be its unitary representation on a Hilbert space H. Endow the space L(H) of linear bounded operators on H with weak operator topology. We prove that if U is a measurable map from G to L(H) then it…

We prove that the approximation conjecture of Luck holds for all amenable groups in the complex group algebra case. This result was previously proved by Dodziuk, Linnell, Mathai, Schick and Yates under the assumption that the group is…

Greenberg proved that every countable group $A$ is isomorphic to the automorphism group of a Riemann surface, which can be taken to be compact if $A$ is finite. We give a short and explicit algebraic proof of this for finitely generated…

Let G be any locally compact, unimodular, metrizable group. The main result of this paper, roughly stated, is that if F<G is any finitely generated free group and \Gamma < G any lattice, then up to a small perturbation and passing to a…

The Gr\"atzer-Schmidt theorem of lattice theory states that each algebraic lattice is isomorphic to the congruence lattice of an algebra. We study the reverse mathematics of this theorem. We also show that the set of indices of computable…

We prove a Fr\"olicher-type inequality for a compact generalized complex manifold $M$, and show that the equality holds if and only if $M$ satisfies the generalized $\partial\bar{\partial}$-Lemma. In particular, this gives a unified proof…

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and let Aut$(G)$ denote the full automorphism group of $G$. In the recent past, there has been interest in finding necessary and sufficient conditions on $G$ such that certain subgroups of Aut$(G)$ are equal.…

We prove that the Bost Conjecture on the $\ell^1$-assembly map for countable discrete groups implies the Bass Conjecture. It follows that all amenable groups satisfy the Bass Conjecture.
