In this paper we study some consequences of the author's classification of graph manifolds by their profinite fundamental groups. In particular we study commensurability, the behaviour of knots, and relation to mapping classes. We prove…

This chapter sets out preliminaries for the duality theory in later chapters. An underlying idea is that local cohomology functors are higher derived functors of colocalizations (a.k.a.~coreflections). Predominantly well-known facts about…

We study the cup product on the Hochschild cohomology of the stack quotient [X/G] of a smooth quasi-projective variety X by a finite group G. More specifically, we construct a G-equivariant sheaf of graded algebras on X whose G-invariant…

In this paper we construct an equivariant Poincar\'e duality between dual tori equipped with finite group actions. We use this to demonstrate that Langlands duality induces a rational isomorphism between the group $C^*$-algebras of extended…

We show that the "profinite direct sum" is a good notion of infinite direct sums for profinite modules having properties similar to direct sums of abstract modules. For example, the profinite direct sum of projective modules is projective,…

In this paper we investigate some properties of the Burnside ring of a profinite group as defined in \cite{ds}. We introduce the notion of the crossed Burnside ring of a profinite FC-group, and generalise some results from finite to…

The starting point of algebraic language theory is that regular languages of finite words are exactly those recognized by finite monoids. This finiteness condition gives rise to a topological space whose points, called profinite words,…

We prove that every finite direct product of crystallographic groups arising from an irreducible root system (in the sense of Lie theory) is profinitely rigid (equiv. first-order rigid). This is a generalization of recent proofs of…

We prove a version of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt Theorem for profinite pronilpotent Lie algebras in which their symmetric and universal enveloping algebras are replaced with appropriate formal analogues and discuss some immediate…

Using the strong relation between coactions of a discrete group G on C*-algebras and Fell bundles over G, we prove a new version of Mansfield's imprimitivity theorem for coactions of discrete groups. Our imprimitivity theorem works for the…

We interpret the complexes defining rack cohomology in terms of a certain differential graded bialgebra. This yields elementary algebraic proofs of old and new structural results for this cohomology theory. For instance, we exhibit two…

We show that the quasiconvex subgroups in doubles of certain negatively curved groups are closed in the profinite topology. This allows us to construct the first known large family of hyperbolic 3-manifolds such that any finitely generated…

We show for any oriented surface, possibly with a boundary, how to generalize Kramers-Wannier duality to the world of quantum groups. The generalization is motivated by quantization of Poisson-Lie T-duality from the string theory.…

We show that a regular isomorphism of profinite completion of the fundamental groups of two 3-manifolds $N_1$ and $N_2$ induces an isometry of the Thurston norms and a bijection between the fibered classes. We study to what extent does the…

We propose and develop a theory that allows to characterize epimorphisms of profinite groups in terms of indecomposable epimorphisms.

We provide a Cuntz-Pimsner model for graph of groups $C^*$-algebras. This allows us to compute the $K$-theory of a range of examples and show that graph of groups $C^*$-algebras can be realised as Exel-Pardo algebras. We also make a…

Can one detect free products of groups via their profinite completions? We answer positively among virtually free groups. More precisely, we prove that a subgroup of a finitely generated virtually free group $G$ is a free factor if and only…

We extend Hendriks' classification theorem and Turaev's realisation and splitting theorems for Poincare duality complexes in dimension three to the relative case of Poincare duality pairs. The results for Poincare duality complexes are…

Let $G$ be a group and let $K$ be a commensurated subgroup of $G$. Then there is a totally disconnected, locally compact (t.d.l.c.) group $\hat{G}_K$ that contains the profinite completion of $K$ as an open compact subgroup and also…
