To any free group automorphism, we associate a real pretree with several nice properties. First, it has a rigid/non-nesting action of the free group with trivial arc stabilizers. Secondly, there is an expanding pretree-automorphism of the…

We give strengthened versions of the Herwig-Lascar and Hodkinson-Otto extension theorems for partial automorphisms of finite structures. Such strengthenings yield several combinatorial and group-theoretic consequences for homogeneous…

Let $G$ be a finite non-cyclic $p$-group of order at least $p^3$. If $G$ has an abelian maximal subgroup, or if $G$ has an elementary abelian centre with $C_G(Z(\Phi(G))) \ne \Phi(G)$, then $|G|$ divides $|\text{Aut}(G)|$.

Following the approach of Dahmani, Guirardel and Osin, we extend the group theoretical Dehn filling theorem to show that the pre-images of infinite order elements have a certain structure of a free product. We then apply this result to show…

We introduce an extension of the (tame) polynomial automorphism group over finite fields: the profinite (tame) polynomial automorphism group, which is obtained by putting a natural topology on the automorphism group. We show that most known…

We present an algorithm which, given any finite presentation of a group as input, will terminate with answer yes if and only if the group is large. We use this to prove that a mapping torus of a finitely generated free group automorphism is…

Let $\mathcal F$ be a holomorphic foliation with ample canonical bundle on a smooth projective surface $X$. We obtain an upper bound on the order of its automorphism group which depends only on $K_{\mathcal F}^2$ and $K_{\mathcal F}K_{X}$,…

If F is a finitely generated free group and \phi is an automorphism of F then the mapping torus of \phi admits a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. This is the third and final paper in a series proving this theorem. The first two were…

Let $(X, \mathcal{F})$ be a foliated surface and $G$ a finite group of automorphisms of $X$ that preserves $\mathcal{F}$. We investigate invariant loci for $G$ and obtain upper bounds for its order that depends polynomially on the Chern…

We study the order of automorphism groups of cyclic covering fibrations of a ruled surface. Arakawa and later Chen studied it for hyperelliptic fibrations and gave the upper bound. The purpose of present paper is to pursue the analog for…

We provide polynomial lower bounds for residual finiteness of residually finite, finitely generated solvable groups that admit infinite order elements in the Fitting subgroup of strict distortion at least exponential. For this class of…

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 $G$…

Group cohomology of polynomial growth is defined for any finitely generated discrete group, using cochains that have polynomial growth with respect to the word length function. We give a geometric condition that guarantees that it agrees…

We show that every word hyperbolic, surface-by-(noncyclic) free group Gamma is as rigid as possible: the quasi-isometry group of Gamma equals the abstract commensurator group Comm(Gamma), which in turn contains Gamma as a finite index…

This is the third revision. We study bases of Pfaffian systems for $A$-hypergeometric system. Gr\"obner deformations give bases. These bases also give those for twisted cohomology groups. For hypergeometric system associated to a class of…

Let $G$ be a hyperbolic group that splits as a graph of free groups with cyclic edge groups. We prove that, unless $G$ is isomorphic to a free product of free and surface groups, every finite abelian group $M$ appears as a direct summand in…

A recent experiment on zebrafish blastoderm morphogenesis showed that the viscosity ({\eta}) of a non-confluent embryonic tissue grows sharply until a critical cell packing fraction ({\phi}S). The increase in {\eta} up to {\phi}S is similar…

We prove that every mapping torus of any free group endomorphism is residually finite. We show how to use a not yet published result of E. Hrushovski to extend our result to arbitrary linear groups. The proof uses algebraic self-maps of…

Let $\phi$ be an atoroidal outer automorphism of the free group $F_n$. We study the Gromov boundary of the hyperbolic group $G_{\phi} = F_n \rtimes_{\phi} \mathbb{Z}$. We explicitly describe a family of embeddings of the complete bipartite…

For fixed subgroups $Fix(\phi)$ of automorphisms $\phi$ on hyperbolic 3-manifold groups $\pi_{1}(M)$, we observed that $\text{rk}(Fix(\phi))<2\text{rk}(\pi_{1}(M))$ and the constant 2 in the inequality is sharp; we also classify all…
