We characterize the normal extensions of inverse semigroups isomorphic to full restricted semidirect products, and present a Kalouznin-Krasner theorem which holds for a wider class of normal extensions of inverse semigroups than that in the…

For any conformal iterated function system (CIFS) consisting of finitely or countably many maps, and any closed shift-invariant set of right-infinite sequences of such maps, one can associate a limit set, which we call a shift-generated…

We show that the unrestricted wreath product of a sofic group by an amenable group is sofic. We use this result to present an alternative proof of the known fact that any group extension with sofic kernel and amenable quotient is again a…

Klopsch and the author have constructed a finitely generated pro-p group G, for p an odd prime, with infinite normal Hausdorff spectrum with respect to the p-power series. They show that the normal Hausdorff spectrum of G contains an…

Using generating functions techniques we develop a relation between the Hausdorff and spectral dimension of trees with a unique infinite spine. Furthermore, it is shown that if the outgrowths along the spine are independent and identically…

Based on the work of Abercrombie, Barnea and Shalev gave an explicit formula for the Hausdorff dimension of a group acting on a rooted tree. We focus here on the binary tree T. Abert and Virag showed that there exist finitely generated (but…

There has been substantial investigation in recent years of subdirect products of limit groups and their finite presentability and homological finiteness properties. To contrast the results obtained for limit groups, Baumslag, Bridson, Holt…

For any sequence of properly convex domains in the real projective plane such that the zeros of Pick differentials have bounded multiplicity and get further and further apart, we determined all Hausdorff limit domains that one can obtain…

Among compact Hausdorff groups G whose maximal profinite quotient is finitely generated, we characterize those that possess a proper dense normal subgroup. We also prove that the abstract commutator subgroup [H,G] is closed for every closed…

For each odd prime $p$, we produce a $2$-generated pro-$p$ group $G$ whose normal Hausdorff spectra \[ \mathrm{hspec}_{\trianglelefteq}^{\mathcal{S}}(G) = \{ \mathrm{hdim}_{G}^{\mathcal{S}}(H)\mid H\trianglelefteq_\mathrm{c} G \} \] with…

We present a new method to calculate the Hausdorff dimension of a certain class of fractals: boundaries of self-affine tiles. Among the interesting aspects are that even if the affine contraction underlying the iterated function system is…

To each finitely generated group $G$, we associate a quasi-isometric invariant called the \emph{Dehn spectrum} of $G$. If $G$ is finitely presented, our invariant is closely related to the Dehn function of $G$, but provides more information…

For a finite dimensional Hopf algebra we show that an associated natural inclusion of infinite crossed products is the crossed product by the Drinfeld double, and that this is a characterisation of the double.

The irreducible character values of the spin wreath products of the symmetric group and an arbitrary finite group are completely determined.

Let $G$ be an irreducible imprimitive subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{F})$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field. Any system of imprimitivity for $G$ can be refined to a nonrefinable system of imprimitivity, and we consider the question…

A residually finite (profinite) group $G$ is just infinite if every non-trivial (closed) normal subgroup of $G$ is of finite index. This paper considers the problem of determining whether a (closed) subgroup $H$ of a just infinite group is…

Hausdorff and box dimension are two familiar notions of fractal dimension. Box dimension can be larger than Hausdorff dimension, because in the definition of box dimension, all sets in the cover have the same diameter, but for Hausdorff…

We present a full description of the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant of restricted permutational wreath products of groups. We also give partial results about the 2-dimensional homotopical invariant of such groups. These results may be…

To a finite group G one can associate a tower of wreath products S_n[G]. It is well known that the graded direct sum of the Grothendieck groups of the categories of finite dimensional complex representations of these groups can be given the…

Let $m_1 \geq m_2 \geq 2$ be integers. We consider subsets of the product symbolic sequence space $(\{0,\cdots,m_1-1\} \times \{0,\cdots,m_2-1\})^{\mathbb{N}^*}$ that are invariant under the action of the semigroup of multiplicative…
