We investigate conditions that guarantee local indicability of groups that admit presentations with the homology of a circle, generalizing a result of J. Howie for two-relator presentations. We apply our results to investigate local…

We investigate simple endotrivial modules of finite quasi-simple groups and classify them in several important cases. This is motivated by a recent result of Robinson showing that simple endotrivial modules of most groups come from…

Recently, Meierfrankenfeld has published three theorems on the cohomology of a finitary module. They cover the local determination of complete reducibility; the local splitting of group extensions; and the representation of locally split…

This is a letter (not intended for publication in a regular journal) written in response to two referees of my preprint "Local duality theorems for commutative algebraic groups". In it, I discuss possible applications of the new theory of…

It is shown that the strong Atiyah conjecture and the L\"uck approximation conjecture in the space of marked groups hold for locally indicable groups. In particular, this implies that one-relator groups satisfy both conjectures. We also…

This paper is an overview of my recent work on abstract homomorphisms of algebraic groups. It is based on a talk given at the Conference on Group Actions and Applications in Geometry, Topology, and Analysis held in Kunming in July 2012.

Several recent problems in the representation theory of finite groups require determining whether certain characters of almost simple groups belong to the principal block. Since the values of these characters are not yet known, we employ…

The paper is devoted to generalizations of actions of topological groups on manifolds. Instead of a topological group, we consider a local topological group generalizing the notion of a~germ or a~neighborhood in a topological group. The…

This article focuses on the study of cut groups, i.e., the groups which have only trivial central units in their integral group ring. We provide state of art for cut groups. The results are compiled in a systematic manner and have also been…

These notes contain an introduction to proofs of Farrell-Jones Conjecture for some groups and are based on talks given in Ohio, Oxford, Berlin, Shanghai, M\"unster and Oberwolfach in 2011 and 2012.

These are notes for a summer course given at the PIMS Summer School on Geometric and Topological Aspects of the Representation Theory of Finite Groups in Vancouver, July 27-30 2016.

We show that the local and global invariant cycle theorems for Hodge modules follow easily from the general theory. We also give some remarks about related papers.

In this talk we introduce several topics in combinatorial number theory which are related to groups; the topics include combinatorial aspects of covers of groups by cosets, and also restricted sumsets and zero-sum problems on abelian…

We prove that a strengthened form of the local Langlands conjecture is valid throughout the principal series of any connected split reductive $p$-adic group. The method of proof is to establish the presence of a very simple geometric…

In this paper, we define a generalization of the Brauer groups by using Bloch's cycle complex on etale site. We prove the Gersten conjecture of generalized Brauer group on some cases. As an application we prove the Gersten conjecture of the…

We study loop near-rings, a generalization of near-rings, where the additive structure is not necessarily associative. We introduce local loop near-rings and prove a useful detection principle for localness.

In a previous paper, we stated and motivated counting conjectures for fusion systems that are purely local analogues of several local-to-global conjectures in the modular representation theory of finite groups. Here we verify some of these…

This is a survey on old and new results as well as an introduction to various related basic notions and concepts, based on two talks given at the International Workshop on Geometry and Analysis in Kemerovo (Sobolev Institute of Mathematics,…

We give a survey of the meaning, status and applications of the Baum-Connes Conjecture about the topological K-theory of the reduced group C^*-algebra and the Farrell-Jones Conjecture about the algebraic K- and L-theory of the group ring of…

We investigate whether semigroups with a given property which are also locally embeddable into finite semigroups can be locally embedded into finite semigroups with the same property, obtaining a positive answer for completely simple and…
