We show that every locally compact strictly convex metric group is abelian, thus answering one problem posed by the authors in their earlir paper. To prove this theorem we first construct the isomorphic embeddings of the real line into the…

We discuss the finiteness of the topological entropy of continuous endomorphims for some classes of locally compact groups. Firstly, we focus on the abelian case, imposing the condition of being compactly generated, and note an interesting…

In this paper, we first study the endomorphisms of free-abelian times surface groups and give a characterization of when they are injective and surjective. Then, we see that free-abelian times hyperbolic groups are Hopfian but not…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A(G)$ denote its Fourier algebra, $M_{cb}(A(G))$ the completely bounded multipliers of $A(G)$, and $A_{M_cb}(G)$ the closure of $A(G)$ in $M_{cb}(A(G))$. We show that, if $A_{M_cb}(G)$ is amenable, then…

A result of Pyber states that every finite group $G$ contains an abelian subgroup whose order is quasi-polynomially large in $\lvert G\rvert$. We prove a similar result for $K$-approximate subgroups of solvable groups under only modest…

We investigate free product structures in R. Thompson's group V, primarily by studying the topological dynamics associated with V's action on the Cantor Set. We show that the class of free products which can be embedded into V includes the…

We present Monte Carlo simulations on a new class of lattice models in which the degrees of freedom are elements of an abelian or non-abelian finite symmetry group G, placed on directed edges of a two-dimensional lattice. The plaquette…

One of the better-known independence results in general mathematics is Shelah's solution to Whitehead's problem of whether $\mathrm{Ext}^1(A,\mathbb{Z})=0$ implies that an abelian group $A$ is free. The point of departure for the present…

We show that any non abelian free group $\F$ is strongly $\aleph_0$-homogeneous, i.e. that finite tuples of elements which satisfy the same first-order properties are in the same orbit under $\Aut(\F)$. We give a characterization of…

We prove that, given a finitely generated subgroup $H$ of a free group $F$, the following questions are decidable: is $H$ closed (dense) in $F$ for the pro-(met)abelian topology? is the closure of $H$ in $F$ for the pro-(met)abelian…

We define an integer-valued invariant of special cube complexes called the genus, and prove that having genus one characterizes special cube complexes with abelian fundamental group. Using the genus, we obtain a new proof that the…

Let $X$ be a surface, possibly with boundary. Suppose it has infinite genus or infinitely many punctures, or a closed subset which is a disk with a Cantor set removed from its interior. For example, $X$ could be any surface of infinite type…

Relying on the techniques and ideas from our recent paper [13], we prove several anti-classification results for various rigidity conditions in countable abelian and nilpotent groups. We prove three main theorems: (1) the rigid abelian…

We present a class of abelian groups that exhibit a high degree of freeness while possessing no non-trivial homomorphisms to a canonical free object. Unlike prior investigations, which primarily focused on torsion-free groups, our work…

The famous Banach-Mazur problem, which asks if every infinite-dimensional Banach space has an infinite-dimensional separable quotient Banach space, has remained unsolved for 85 years, though it has been answered in the affirmative for…

We study groups acting on CAT(0) square complexes. In particular we show if Y is a nonpositively curved (in the sense of A. D. Alexandrov) finite square complex and the vertex links of Y contain no simple loop consisting of five edges, then…

We define and study the free topological vector space $\mathbb{V}(X)$ over a Tychonoff space $X$. We prove that $\mathbb{V}(X)$ is a $k_\omega$-space if and only if $X$ is a $k_\omega$-space. If $X$ is infinite, then $\mathbb{V}(X)$…

We show, under some natural conditions, that the set of abelian points on the non-anomalous subset of a closed irreducible subvariety $X$ intersected with the union of connected algebraic subgroups of codimension at least $\dim X$ in a…

A topological space is called {\it dense-separable} if each dense subset of its is separable. Therefore, each dense-separable space is separable. We establish some basic properties of dense-separable topological groups. We prove that each…

A Hausdorff topological group $(G,\tau)$ is called locally minimal if there exists a neighborhood $U$ of 0 in $\tau$ such that $U$ fails to be a neighborhood of zero in any Hausdorff group topology on $G$ which is strictly coarser than…
