It is a longstanding conjecture that for a finite group $G$, the exponent of the second homology group $H_2(G, \mathbb{Z})$ divides the exponent of $G$. In this paper, we prove this conjecture for $p$-groups of class at most $p$, finite…
For $G$ a finite group, let $d_2(G)$ denote the proportion of triples $(x, y, z) \in G^3$ such that $[x, y, z] = 1$. We determine the structure of finite groups $G$ such that $d_2(G)$ is bounded away from zero: if $d_2(G) \geq \epsilon >…
Let $p$ be a prime. A pro-$p$ group $G$ is said to be 1-smooth if it can be endowed with a homomorphism of pro-$p$ groups $G\to1+p\mathbb{Z}_p$ satisfying a formal version of Hilbert 90. By Kummer theory, maximal pro-$p$ Galois groups of…
We study 3-dimensional Poincar\'e duality pro-$p$ groups in the spirit of the work by Robert Bieri and Jonathan Hillmann, and show that if such a pro-$p$ group $G$ has a nontrivial finitely presented subnormal subgroup of infinite index,…
The diameter of the spectral pseudometric on the universal cover of the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group of $\mathrm{Gr}(2,p)$ is shown to be finite whenever $p$ is a prime number. On the other hand, it is shown that the diameter is…
We prove that the $G$-equivariant mod $p$ Eilenberg--MacLane spectrum arises as an equivariant Thom spectrum for any finite, $p$-power cyclic group $G$, generalizing a result of Behrens and the second author in the case of the group $C_2$.…
We compute the algebraic Picard group of the category of $K(n)$-local spectra, for all heights $n$ and all primes $p$. In particular, we show that it is always finitely generated over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ and, whenever $n \geq 2$, is of rank $2$,…
In this paper, we continue to adapt the theories of spectra and schemes developed by Grothendieck in algebraic geometry to the category of groups. Let $G$ be a group, and $(H,f_G^H)$ and object of the comma category $C(G)$. In [5], we have…
We prove that a finitely generated pro-$p$ group acting on a pro-$p$ tree $T$ with procyclic edge stabilizers is the fundamental pro-$p$ group of a finite graph of pro-$p$ groups with edge and vertex groups being stabilizers of certain…
For an odd prime $p$, we determine the lower central series of a large family of non-periodic GGS-groups, which has a density of roughly $(\frac{p-1}{p})^2$ within all GGS-groups. This means a significant extension of the knowledge…
Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number, let $n\geq 2$ be a natural number and let $\text{Heis}(p^n)$ denote the Heisenberg group modulo $p^n$. We study the Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence $E(\text{Heis}(p^n))$ associated to…
A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is said to be pronormal in $G$ if $H$ and $H^g$ are conjugate in $\langle H, H^g \rangle$ for every $g \in G$. In this paper we classify finite simple groups $E_6(q)$ and ${}^2E_6(q)$ in which all the subgroups…
We develop cohomological and homological theories for a profinite group $G$ with coefficients in the Pontryagin dual categories of pro-discrete and ind-profinite $G$-modules, respectively. The standard results of group (co)homology hold for…
We study abstract finite groups with the property, called property $\hat{s}$, that all of their subrepresentations have submultiplicative spectra. Such groups are necessarily nilpotent and we focus on $p$-groups. $p$-groups with property…
We study fibers of word maps in finite, profinite, and residually finite groups. Our main result is that, for any word w in the free group on d generators, there exists $\epsilon > 0$ such that if G is a residually finite group with…
Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of number fields and let $G=\mathrm{Gal}(L/K)$. We show that under certain hypotheses on $G$, for a fixed prime number $p$, Leopoldt's conjecture at $p$ for certain proper intermediate fields of $L/K$ implies…
For a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $H$, the normal subgroup based power graph of $G$, denoted by $\Gamma_H(G)$ whose vertex set $V(\Gamma_H(G))=(G\setminus H)\bigcup \{e\}$ and two vertices $a$ and $b$ are edge connected if…
Suppose $G$ is a second countable, locally compact Hausdorff groupoid with abelian stabilizer subgroups and a Haar system. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the groupoid $C^*$-algebra to have Hausdorff spectrum. In…
Given a finitely presented group $G$, Hopf's formula expresses the second integral homology of $G$ in terms of generators and relators. We give an algorithm that exploits Hopf's formula to estimate $H_2(G;k)$, with coefficients in a finite…
In this paper we study the dimension spectrum of continued fractions with coefficients restricted to infinite subsets of natural numbers. We prove that if $E$ is any arithmetic progression, the set of primes, or the set of squares…
