Let $G$ be an infinite-dimensional real classical group containing the complete unitary group (or complete orthogonal group) as a subgroup. Then $G$ generates a category of double cosets (train) and any unitary representation of $G$ can be…

In this note we prove that finitely generated virtually free groups are stable with respect to a normalized $p$-Schatten norm for $1\leq p < \infty$. In particular, this implies that virtually free groups are Hilbert-Schmidt stable.

If G is a finitely generated powerful pro-p group satisfying a certain law v=1, and if G can be generated by a normal subset T of finite width which satisfies a positive law, we prove that G is nilpotent. Furthermore, the nilpotency class…

In this article we develop the theory of residually finite rationally $p$ (RFR$p$) groups, where $p$ is a prime. We first prove a series of results about the structure of finitely generated RFR$p$ groups (either for a single prime $p$, or…

For every free product decomposition $G = G_{1} \ast ...\ast G_{q} \ast F_{r}$, where $F_r$ is a finitely generated free group, of a group $G$ of finite Kurosh rank, we can associate some (relative) outer space $\mathcal{O}$. In this paper,…

For a finite connected graph $\mathcal{E}$ with set of edges $E$, a finite $E$-generated group $G$ is constructed such that the set of relations $p=1$ satisfied by $G$ (with $p$ a word over $E\cup E^{-1}$) is closed under deletion of…

One of the most beautiful results in the integral representation theory of finite groups is a theorem of A. Weiss that detects a permutation $R$-lattice for the finite $p$-group $G$ in terms of the restriction to a normal subgroup $N$ and…

Our aim is to transfer several foundational results from the modular representation theory of finite groups to the wider context of profinite groups. We are thus interested in profinite modules over the completed group algebra k[[G]] of a…

We construct finitely generated torsion-free solvable groups $G$ that have infinite rank, but such that all finitely generated torsion-free metabelian subquotients of $G$ are virtually abelian. In particular all finitely generated…

We give a uniform construction that, on input of a recursive presentation $P$ of a group, outputs a recursive presentation of a torsion-free group, isomorphic to $P$ whenever $P$ is itself torsion-free. We use this to re-obtain a known…

Pro-$p$ groups of finite powerful class are studied. We prove that these are $p$-adic analytic, and further describe their structure when their powerful class is small. It is also shown that there are only finitely many finite $p$-groups of…

We give a characterization of toral relatively hyperbolic virtually special groups in terms of the profinite completion. We also prove a Tits alternative for subgroups of the profinite completion $\hat G$ of a relatively hyperbolic…

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.

Let $G$ be a finitely generated torsion-free pro-$p$ group containing an open free-by-$\mathbb{Z}_p$ pro-$p$ subgroup. We show that the completed group algebra of $G$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ is a Sylvester domain. Moreover the inner rank of a…

Let p be a prime. We classify finitely generated pro-p groups G which satisfy d(H) = d(G) for all open subgroups H of G. Here d(H) denotes the minimal number of topological generators for the subgroup H. Within the category of p-adic…

According to Lazard, every p-adic Lie group contains an open pro-p subgroup which is saturable. This can be regarded as the starting point of p-adic Lie theory, as one can naturally associate to every saturable pro-p group G a Lie lattice…

We show that for every finitely presented pro-$p$ nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite group $G$ there is an upper bound on $\dim_{\mathbb{Q}_p} (H_1(M, \mathbb{Z}_p) \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}_p} \mathbb{Q}_p )$, as $M$ runs through all pro-$p$…

Let $G$ be a group. An automorphism of $G$ is called intense if it sends each subgroup of $G$ to a conjugate; the collection of such automorphisms is denoted by $\mathrm{Int}(G)$. In the special case in which $p$ is a prime number and $G$…

We give a complete classification of finitely generated virtually free groups up to $\forall\exists$-elementary equivalence. As a corollary, we give an algorithm that takes as input two finite presentations of virtually free groups, and…

We introduce an infinite-dimensional $p$-adic affine group and construct its irreducible unitary representation. Our approach follows the one used by Vershik, Gelfand and Graev for the diffeomorphism group, but with modifications made…
