Let $\mathcal G$ denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. For any finitely generated group $G$, we construct a continuous, injective map $f$ from the space of subgroups $Sub(G)$ to $\mathcal G$ that sends conjugate subgroups to…

It is shown that the big free group (the set of countably-long words over a countable alphabet) is almost free, in the sense that any function from the alphabet to a compact topological group factors through a homomorphism. This statement…

We introduce the notion of halfspaces associated to a group splitting, and investigate the relationship between the coarse geometry of the halfspaces and the coarse geometry of the group. Roughly speaking, the halfspaces of a group…

Let $G$ be a group. We define the coprime graph of subgroups of $G$, denoted by $\mathcal P(G)$, is a graph whose vertex set is the set of all proper subgroups of $G$, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if the order of the…

We construct a finitely generated group which is an extension of two finitely generated groups coarsely embeddable into Hilbert space but which itself does not coarsely embed into Hilbert space. Our construction also provides a new infinite…

We study the geometry of warped cones over free, minimal isometric group actions and related constructions of expander graphs. We prove a rigidity theorem for the coarse geometry of such warped cones: Namely, if a group has no abelian…

A certain Grothendieck topology assigned to a metric space gives rise to a sheaf cohomology theory which sees the coarse structure of the space. Already constant coefficients produce interesting cohomology groups. In degree 0 they see the…

Let K be a principal ideal domain, G a finite group, and M a KG-module which as K-module is free of finite rank, and on which $G$ acts faithfully. A generalized crystallographic group (introduced by the authors in volume 5 of Journal of…

We show that free-by-free groups satisfying a homological criterion, which we call excessive homology, are incoherent. This class is large in nature, including many examples of hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic free-by-free groups. We apply…

In this paper, we study the topological structure of a universal construction related to quasitopological groups: the free quasitopological group $F_q(X)$ on a space $X$. We show that free quasitopological groups may be constructed directly…

Given a Tychonoff space $X$, let $F(X)$ and $A(X)$ be respectively the free topological group and the free Abelian topological group over $X$ in the sense of Markov. In this paper, we provide some topological properties of $X$ whenever one…

We develop a theory of convex cocompact subgroups of the mapping class group MCG of a closed, oriented surface S of genus at least 2, in terms of the action on Teichmuller space. Given a subgroup G of MCG defining an extension L_G: 1-->…

For every strong coarse homology theory we construct a coarse assembly map as a natural transformation between coarse homology theories. We provide various conditions implying that this assembly map is an equivalence. These results…

We classify up to coarse equivalence all countable abelian groups of finite torsion free rank. The Q-cohomological dimension and the torsion free rank are the two invariants that give us such classification. We also prove that any countable…

Two groups are virtually isomorphic if they can be obtained one from the other via a finite number of steps, where each step consists in taking a finite extension or a finite index subgroup (or viceversa). Virtually isomorphic groups are…

Let $X = G/\Gamma$ be a quotient of a real Lie group by a non-uniform lattice. Consider a one-parameter subgroup $F$ of $G$ that is $\operatorname{Ad}$-diagonalizable over $\mathbb{C}$ and whose action on $(X,m_X)$ is mixing. In this…

We introduce the notion of a meromorphic group, weakening somewhat Fujiki's definition We prove that a meromorphic group is meromorphically an extension of a complex torus by a linear algebraic group, generalizing results in [Fujiki, 1978].…

A coarse space $X$, endowed with a linear order compatible with the coarse structure of $X$, is called linearly ordered. We prove that every linearly ordered coarse space $X$ is locally convex and the asymptotic dimension of $X$ is either…

The concept of topological gyrogroups is a generalization of a topological group. In this work, ones prove that a topological gyrogroup G is metrizable iff G has an {\omega}{\omega}-base and G is Frechet-Urysohn. Moreover, in topological…

The aim of this paper is to study the group of isomorphism classes of torsors of finite flat group schemes of rank 2 over a commutative ring $R$. This, in particular, generalises the group of quadratic algebras (free or projective), which…
