Topological phases of matter are often understood and predicted with the help of crystal symmetries, although they don't rely on them to exist. In this chapter we review how topological phases have been recently shown to emerge in amorphous…
For each $n\leq 6$, we characterize all the groups which can occur as either the orientation preserving topological symmetry group or the topological symmetry group of some embedding of $K_n$ in $S^3$.
The theory of quantum dynamical semigroups within the mathematically rigorous framework of completely positive dynamical maps is reviewed. First, the axiomatic approach which deals with phenomenological constructions and general…
A perfect isometry is an important relation between blocks of finite groups as many information about blocks are preserved by it. If we consider the group of all perfect isometries between a block to itself then this gives another…
This is a survey. The main subject of this survey is the homotopical or homological nature of certain structures which appear in classical problems about groups, Lie rings and group rings. It is well known that the (generalized) dimension…
Relations between points in the phase space are central to the study of topological dynamical systems. Since many of these relations share common properties, it is natural to study them within a unified framework. To this end, we introduce…
This paper introduces a group-theoretic framework to analyze the algebraic structure of the Grover walk on a complete graph with self-loops. We construct a group generated by the Grover matrix and a diagonal matrix whose entries are powers…
Arithmetic groups are groups of matrices with integral entries. We shall first discuss their origin in number theory (Gauss, Minkowski) and their role in the "reduction theory of quadratic forms". Then we shall describe these groups by…
We include a class of generalisations of Thompson's group $V$ introduced by Melanie Stein into the growing framework of topological full groups. Like $V$, Stein's groups can be described as certain piecewise linear maps with prescribed…
We describe the fully residually F; or limit groups relative to F; (where F is a free group) that arise from systems of equations in two variables over F that have coefficients in F.
We survey different topologizations of the set $\mathcal{S}(G)$ of all closed subgroups of a topological group $G$ and demonstrate some applications in Topological Grous, Model Theory, Geometric Group Theory, Topological Dynamics.
The study of temporal networks is motivated by the simple and important observation that just as network structure can affect dynamics, so can structure in time. Just as network topology can teach us about the system in question, so can its…
Groups of almost upper triangular infinite matrices with entries indexed by integers are studied. It is shown that, when the matrices are over a finite field, these groups admit a nondiscrete totally disconnected, locally compact group…
Totally symmetric sets are a recently introduced tool for studying homomorphisms between groups. In this paper, we give full classifications of totally symmetric sets in certain families of groups and bound their sizes in others. As a…
This is a survey, intended both for group theorists and model theorists, concerning the structure of pseudofinite groups, that is, infinite models of the first order theory of finite groups. The focus is on concepts from stability theory…
We use semigroup theory to describe the group of automorphisms of some semigroups of interest in holomorphic dynamical systems. We show, with some examples, that representation theory of semigroups is related to usual constructions in…
Recently there has been growing interest in discrete homotopies and homotopies of graphs beyond treating graphs as 1-dimensional simplicial spaces. One such type of homotopy is $\times$-homotopy. Recent work by Chih-Scull has developed a…
Recently, we have endowed various categories of groups with topologies. The purpose of this paper is to introduce on these categories others topologies which are statistically more suitable to study well-known problems in groups theory. We…
We consider automorphism groups of some countably categorical structures and their precompact expansions. We prove that automorphism groups of omega-stable omega-categorical structures have metrizable universal minimal flows. We also study…
This is a survey of the theory of real trees and their applications.
