Let $G$ be a group, and let $S$ be a finite subset of $G$ that generates $G$ as a monoid. The co-word problem is the collection of words in the free monoid $S^{\ast}$ that represent non-trivial elements of $G$. A current conjecture, based…

We define various monoid versions of the R. Thompson group $V$, and prove connections with monoids of acyclic digital circuits. We show that the monoid $M_{2,1}$ (based on partial functions) is not embeddable into Thompson's monoid ${\sf…

The groups G_{k,1} of Richard Thompson and Graham Higman can be generalized in a natural way to monoids, that we call M_{k,1}, and to inverse monoids, called Inv_{k,1}; this is done by simply generalizing bijections to partial functions or…

In this short article, we prove that any automorphism of the R. Thompson's group $F$ has infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. The result follows from the work of Matthew Brin, together with a standard facts on R. Thompson's group $F$,…

Thompson's group F is the group of all increasing dyadic piecewise linear homeomorphisms of the closed unit interval. We compute Sigma^m(F) and Sigma^m(F;Z), the homotopical and homological Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants of F, and we…

We produce for each natural number $n \geq 3$ two 1--parameter families of Riemann surfaces admitting automorphism groups with two cyclic subgroups $H_{1}$ and $H_{2}$ of orden $2^{n}$, that are conjugate in the group of…

In this short note, we classify pairs of conjugacy classes of the symmetric group such that any non-linear irreducible character of the symmetric group vanishes on at least one of them.

Cactus groups and their pure subgroups appear in various fields of mathematics and are currently attracting attention from diverse mathematical communities. They share similarities with both right-angled Coxeter groups and braid groups. In…

Given a short exact sequence of groups with certain conditions, $1\to F\to G\to H\to 1$, we prove that $G$ has solvable conjugacy problem if and only if the corresponding action subgroup $A\leqslant Aut(F)$ is orbit decidable. From this, we…

Let $\H^{n+1}$ denote the $n + 1$-dimensional (real) hyperbolic space. Let $\s^{n}$ denote the conformal boundary of the hyperbolic space. The group of conformal diffeomorphisms of $\s^n$ is denoted by $M (n)$. Let $M_o (n)$ be its identity…

In this paper, we prove that if G is a finite simple group with the same-size conjugacy class set U(G) = U(PSL(2, 11)), then G is isomorphic to PSL(2, 11).

We say that $x,y\in \Gamma$ are in the same $\phi$-twisted conjugacy class and write $x\sim_\phi y$ if there exists an element $\gamma\in \Gamma$ such that $y=\gamma x\phi(\gamma^{-1})$. This is an equivalence relation on $\Gamma$ called…
