Generalizing the theorem of Green--Lazarsfeld and Gromov, we classify Kaehler groups of deficiency at least two. As a consequence we see that there are no Kaehler groups of even and strictly positive deficiency. With the same arguments we…

For a non-empty class of groups $\cal L$, a finite group $G = AB$ is said to be an $\cal L$-connected product of the subgroups $A$ and $B$ if $\langle a, b\rangle \in \cal L$ for all $a \in A$ and $b \in B$. In a previous paper, we prove…

We study analytic properties of graph product of finite groups with a hyperbolic defining graph. This is done by studying dynamics on the Bowditch compactification of the extension graph, or the crossing graph, of graph product. In…

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…

The Boone--Higman conjecture is that every recursively presented group with solvable word problem embeds in a finitely presented simple group. We discuss a brief history of this conjecture and work towards it. Along the way we describe some…

We show that if H is a quasiconvex subgroup of a hyperbolic group G then the relative Cayley graph Y (also known as the Schreier coset graph) for G/H is Gromov-hyperbolic. We also observe that in this situation if G is torsion-free and…

For a transitive infinite connected graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ be its connective constant. Denote by $\mathbf{\cal G}$ the set of Cayley graphs for finitely generated infinite groups with an infinite-order generator which is independent of…

We prove that for every prime $p$ algebraically clean graphs of groups are virtually residually $p$-finite and cohomologically $p$-complete. We also prove that they are cohomologically good. We apply this to certain $2$-dimensional Artin…

It is known that in any free group the isolator of finitely generated subgroup is finitely generated subgroup. A very simple proof of this statement is proposed.

For a finitely generated group $G$ and collection of subgroups $\mathcal{P}$ we prove that the relative Dehn function of a pair $(G,\mathcal{P})$ is invariant under quasi-isometry of pairs. Along the way we show quasi-isometries of pairs…

We show that if G is a finite group whose commutator subgroup [G,G] has order 2p, where p is an odd prime, then every connected Cayley graph on G has a hamiltonian cycle.

We prove, for every non-virtually free hyperbolic group $G$, that there is no algorithm that, given a finite collection of dominoes, determines whether the Cayley graph of $G$ may be edge-covered by these dominoes so that colours match at…

Given a complex of groups over a finite simplicial complex in the sense of Haefliger, we give conditions under which it is possible to build an EZ-structure in the sense of Farrell-Lafont for its fundamental group out of such structures for…

We prove a combination theorem for hyperbolic groups, in the case of groups acting on complexes displaying combinatorial features reminiscent of non-positive curvature. Such complexes include for instance weakly systolic complexes and…

We introduce the separability complex, a one-complex associated to a finite regular cover of the rose and show that it is connected if and only if the fundamental group of the associated cover is generated by its intersection with the set…

We introduce the notion of finite stature of a family $\{H_i\}$ of subgroups of a group $G$. We investigate the separability of subgroups of a group $G$ that splits as a graph of hyperbolic special groups with quasiconvex edge groups. We…

Gromov Hyperbolic groups have remarkable finiteness properties;for example those that are torsion-free are fundamental groups of finitecomplexes whose universal cover iscontractible (property~$F$). In this talk we will show thattheir…

It is known that any locally graded group with finitely many derived subgroups of non-normal subgroups is finite-by-abelian. This result is generalized here, by proving that in a locally graded group $G$ the subgroup $\gamma_{k}(G)$ is…

Let $\Gamma$ be a torsion-free hyperbolic group. We study $\Gamma$--limit groups which, unlike the fundamental case in which $\Gamma$ is free, may not be finitely presentable or geometrically tractable. We define model $\Gamma$--limit…

This note is a continuation of the study of the relationship between the geometry of Cayley graphs and the size of its metric-functional boundary. We show that, if there exists a Cayley graph with finitely many Busemann points, then the…
