We study Cartan subalgebras in the context of amalgamated free product II$_1$ factors and obtain several uniqueness and non-existence results. We prove that if $\Gamma$ belongs to a large class of amalgamated free product groups (which…

In this thesis I study the automorphism tower of free nilpotent groups. Our main tool in studying the automorphism tower is to embed every group as a lattice in some Lie group. Using known rigidity results the automorphism group of the…

We introduce the basic notions and present examples and results on Lie categories -- categories internal to the category of smooth manifolds. Demonstrating how the units of a Lie category $\mathcal C$ dictate the behavior of its invertible…

Non-standard quantum groups $C_R [GL(n)]$ and $C_R [SL(n)]$ are constructed for a two parameter version of the Cremmer-Gervais $R$-matrix. An epimorphism is constructed from $C_R [GL(n)]$ onto the restricted dual…

Let $X$ be a connected Cayley graph on an abelian group of odd order, such that no two distinct vertices of $X$ have exactly the same neighbours. We show that the direct product $X \times K_2$ (also called the "canonical double cover" of…

We consider a Leibniz algebra ${\mathfrak L} = {\mathfrak I} \oplus {\mathfrak V}$ over an arbitrary base field $\mathbb{F}$, being ${\mathfrak I}$ the ideal generated by the products $[x,x], x \in {\mathfrak L}$. This ideal has a…

The paper presents the complete classification of Automorphic Lie Algebras based on $\mathfrak{sl}_n (\mathbb{C})$, where the symmetry group $G$ is finite and the orbit is any of the exceptional $G$-orbits in $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$. A key…

We show that if $G$ is a real semi-simple Lie group, and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$ containing a subgroup $\Sigma$ acting ergodically (in a strong sense) on the Furstenberg boundary of $G$, then $\Gamma$ is not isomorphic to a…

A new result of G. Cz\'edli states that for an ordered set $P$ with at least two elements and a group $G$, there exists a bounded lattice $L$ such that the ordered set of principal congruences of $L$ is isomorphic to $P$ and the…

We find and discuss an unexpected (to us) order $n$ cyclic group of automorphisms of the Lie algebra $I\mathfrak{u}_n := \mathfrak{u}_n\ltimes\mathfrak{u}_n^\ast$, where $\mathfrak{u}_n$ is the Lie algebra of upper triangular $n\times n$…

Let $F_n$ be the free group of rank $n$ with free basis $X=\{x_1,\dots,x_n \}$. A palindrome is a word in $X^{\pm 1}$ that reads the same backwards as forwards. The palindromic automorphism group $\Pi A_n$ of $F_n$ consists of those…

The abelian sandpile models feature a finite abelian group G generated by the operators corresponding to particle addition at various sites. We study the canonical decomposition of G as a product of cyclic groups G = Z_{d_1} X Z_{d_2} X…

Let $N$ be a simply connected, connected non-commutative nilpotent Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}$ having rational structure constants. We assume that $N=P\rtimes M,$ $M$ is commutative, and for all $\lambda\in…

In this paper, we study the Johnson homomorphisms of basis-conjugating automorphism groups of free groups. We construct obstructions for the surjectivity of the Johnson homomorphisms. By using it, we determine its cokernels of degree up to…

Let $\Pi$ be the fundamental group of a smooth variety X over $F_p$. Given a non-Archimedean place $\lambda$ of the field of algebraic numbers which is prime to p, consider the $\lambda$-adic pro-semisimple completion of $\Pi$ as an object…

We construct Lie algebras arising from cubic norm pairs over arbitrary commutative base rings. Such Lie algebras admit a grading by a root system of type $G_2$, and when the cubic norm pair is a cubic Jordan matrix algebra, the…

For any rational prime $p$, we define a certain $p$-stabilization of holomorphic Siegel Eisenstein series for the symplectic group ${\rm Sp}(2n)_{/\mathbb{Q}}$ of an arbitrary genus $n \ge 1$. In addition, we derive an explicit formula for…

We formulate and prove a twofold generalisation of Lie's second theorem that integrates homomorphisms between formal group laws to homomorphisms between Lie groups. Firstly we generalise classical Lie theory by replacing groups with…

The (reduced) characteristic group of a locally conformally product manifold is obtained by restricting the action of its fundamental group to the non-flat factor of the universal cover, and taking the connected component of the identity in…

We show that the following problems are decidable in a rank 2 free group F_2: does a given finitely generated subgroup H contain primitive elements? and does H meet the orbit of a given word u under the action of G, the group of…
