We propose conjectural generalizations of the Fermat-Catalan conjecture, the Tijdeman-Zagier conjecture, and of the Fermat Last Theorem, in which powers are replaced by products of integers. We also formulate a new explicit version of the…

We prove that a finitely generated group $G$ is virtually free if and only if there exists a generating set for $G$ and $k > 0$ such that all $k$-locally geodesic words with respect to that generating set are geodesic.

We give two examples of a finitely generated subgroup of a free group and a subset, closed in the profinite topology of a free group, such that their product is not closed in the profinite topology of a free group.

We describe the full automorphism group of the power (di)graph of a finite group. As an application, we solve a conjecture proposed by Doostabadi, Erfanian and Jafarzadeh in 2013.

The explicit description of the topology of the free product of topological groups being Hausdorff is given. In particular, it is shown that it coincides with the so-called $X_0$-topology for the corresponding colimit $X$ in the category of…

We provide lower estimates on the minimal number of generators of the profinite completion of free products of finite groups. In particular, we show that if C_1,...,C_n are finite cyclic groups then there exists a finite group G which is…

This paper is devoted to the proof of the property of order separability for free product of free groups with maximal cyclic amalgamated subgroups.

Submanifolds of finite type were introduced by the author during the late 1970s. The first results on this subject had been collected in author's book [Total mean curvature and sub manifolds of finite type, World Scientific, NJ, 1984]. A…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group. We prove that the $n$-fold tensor product $G^{\otimes n}$ is finite (resp. polycyclic) if and only $G$ is finite (resp. polycyclic). Further, assuming that $G$ is finitely presented, we show that…

We show that any graph product of residually finite monoids is residually finite. As a special case we obtain that any free product of residually finite monoids is residually finite. The corresponding results for graph products of…

In 1987, the second author of this paper reported his conjecture, all finite simple groups $S$ can be characterized uniformly using the order of $S$ and the set of element orders in $S$, to Prof. J. G. Thompson. In their communications,…

Witte Morris showed in [21] that every connected Cayley graph of a finite (generalized) dihedral group has a Hamiltonian path. The infinite dihedral group is defined as the free product with amalgamation $\mathbb Z_2 \ast \mathbb Z_2$. We…

We prove that every term of the lower central series and Johnson filtrations of the Torelli subgroups of the mapping class group and the automorphism group of a free group is finitely generated in a linear stable range. This was originally…

We study the distribution of products of conjugacy classes in finite simple groups, obtaining various effective uniformity results, which give rise to an approximation to a conjecture of Thompson. Our results, combined with work of Gowers…

Let $K$ be an extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $A/K$ an elliptic curve. If $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar K/K)$ is finitely generated, then $A$ is of infinite rank over $K$. In particular, this implies the $g=1$ case of the Junker-Koenigsmann conjecture.…

We prove a generalization of the classical Klein-Maskit combination theorem, in the free product case, in the setting of Anosov subgroups. Namely, if $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_B$ are Anosov subgroups of a semisimple Lie group $G$ of noncompact…

We prove the pro-supersolvable closure of a finitely generated subgroup of the free group is finitely generated. It extends similar results for pro-$p$ closures proved by Ribes-Zalesskii and pro-Nilpotent closures proved by…

Let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group and $n\in \{3,4, 5\}$. Consider $S_n\times G$ as a subgroup of $S_n\times S_{|G|}\subset S_{n|G|}$, where $G$ embeds into the second factor of $S_n\times S_{|G|}$ via the regular representation. Over any…

We prove that a semigroup generated by a reversible two-state Mealy automaton is either finite or free of rank 2. This fact leads to the decidability of finiteness for groups generated by two-state or two-letter invertible-reversible Mealy…

We consider a combinatorial problem occurring naturally in a group theoretical setting and provide a constructive solution in a special case. More precisely, in 1999 the author established a logarithmic bound for the derived length of the…
