We show that any twisted Dijkgraaf-Witten representation of a mapping class group of an orientable, compact surface with boundary has finite image. This generalizes work of Etingof, Rowell and Witherspoon showing that the braid group images…

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $\Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $\SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite…

For a compact oriented 3-manifold with torus boundary the adjoint Reidemeister torsion is defined as a function on the $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$-character variety depending on a choice of a boundary curve. Under reasonable assumptions, it…

We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…

We prove that if G_P is a finitely constrained group of binary rooted tree automorphisms (a group binary tree subshift of finite type) defined by an essential pattern group P of pattern size d, d>1, and if G_P has maximal Hausdorff…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field, $G$ a linear algebraic group over $k$ and $\varphi\in Aut(G)$, the group of all algebraic group automorphisms of $G$. Two elements $x, y$ of $G$ are said to be $\varphi$-twisted conjugate if…

We introduce a new class of groups called wreath-like products. These groups are close relatives of the classical wreath products and arise naturally in the context of group theoretic Dehn filling. Unlike ordinary wreath products, many…

This work continues the study of the properties of finitely constrained groups of binary tree automorphisms in terms of their Hausdorff dimension. We prove that there are exactly $2^{2d-3}$ finitely constrained groups of binary tree…

In this paper we investigate finiteness properties of totally disconnected locally compact groups for general commutative rings $R$, in particular for $R = \mathbb{Z}$ and $R= \mathbb{Q}$. We show these properties satisfy many analogous…

For every positive integer $n$, we construct, using algebraic groups, an infinite family of irreducible algebraic varieties $X$,whose automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(X)$ contains the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(F_n)$ of a free group $F_n$…

We show that there exists a positive number $M_0$ such that for any odd $M\geq M_0$ a random group of exponent $M$ with overwhelming probability is infinite in the few relator model and in the density $d$ model for small $d$.

We introduce and study the class of groups graded by root systems. We prove that if {\Phi} is an irreducible classical root system of rank at least 2 and G is a group graded by {\Phi}, then under certain natural conditions on the grading,…

We prove that a self-similar free abelian group has finite rank. We apply the result to self-similar wreath products of abelian groups $G=BwrX$. We show that if $X$ is torsion-free, then $B$ is torsion of finite exponent. Furthemore, we…

In this paper we prove the trace formulas for the Reidemeister numbers of group endomorphisms in the following cases:the group is finitely generated and an endomorphism is eventually commutative; the group is finite ; the group is a direct…

The $d$-fold ($d \geq 3$) branched coverings on a disk give an infinite family of nongeometric embeddings of braid groups into mapping class groups. We, in this paper, give new explicit expressions of these braid group representations into…

Wreath products such as Z wr Z are not finitely-presentable yet can occur as subgroups of finitely presented groups. Here we compute the distortion of Z wr Z as a subgroup of Thompson's group F and as a subgroup of Baumslag's metabelian…

Let $D$ be an indefinite quaternion division algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$. We approach the problem of bounding the sup-norms of automorphic forms $\phi$ on $D^\times(\mathbb{A})$ that belong to irreducible automorphic representations and…

For each $n\geq 2$, we show that the class of all finite $n$-dimensional partial orders, when expanded with $n$ linear orders which realize the partial order, forms a Fra\"iss\'e class and identify its Fra\"iss\'e limit…

The main theorem shows that if M is an irreducible compact connected orientable 3-manifold with non-empty boundary, then the classifying space BDiff(M rel dM) of the space of diffeomorphisms of M which restrict to the identity map on…

Let $\varphi:V\times V\to W$ be a bilinear map of finite vector spaces $V$ and $W$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We present asymptotic bounds on the number of isomorphism classes of bilinear maps under the natural action of…
