We prove that the limits of Baumslag-Solitar groups which we previously studied are non-linear hopfian C*-simple groups with infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. We exhibit infinite presentations for these groups, classify them up to…
Given a finitely generated relatively hyperbolic group $G$, we construct a finite generating set $X$ of $G$ such that $(G,X)$ has the `falsification by fellow traveler property' provided that the parabolic subgroups $\{H_\omega\}_{\omega\in…
By the results of Cannon, Wagreich and Parry, it is known that the growth rate of a cocompact Coxeter group in 2-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^2$ and 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^3$ is a Salem number. Kerada defined a j-Salem number,…
In this article, we solve the twisted conjugacy problem with respect to endomorphisms for solvable Baumslag--Solitar groups $BS(1,n)$, i.e., we propose an algorithm which, given two elements $u,v \in BS(1,n)$ and an endomorphism $\psi \in…
We initiate the study of the \emph{twisted conjugacy growth series} of a finitely generated group, the formal power series associated to the twisted conjugacy growth function. Our main result is that, for a virtually abelian group, this…
The classical prime geodesic theorem (PGT) gives an asymptotic formula (as $x$ tends to infinity) for the number of closed geodesics with length at most $x$ on a hyperbolic manifold $M$. Closed geodesics correspond to conjugacy classes of…
We consider an exhaustion of the modular orbifold by compact subsurfaces and show that the growth rate, in terms of word length, of the reciprocal geodesics on such subsurfaces (so named low lying reciprocal geodesics) converge to the…
We give a conjecture for the asymptotic growth rate of the number of indecomposable summands in the tensor powers of representations of finite monoids, expressing it in terms of the (Brauer) character table of the monoid's group of units.…
We study the geodesic growth series of the braid group on three strands, B_3 := <a,b|aba = bab>. We show that the set of geodesics of B_3 with respect to the generating set S := {a,b,a^-1,b^-1} is a regular language, and we provide an…
We conclude our work [arXiv:2403.07628, arXiv:2503.12644] on asymptotic expansions at the soft edge for the classical $n$-dimensional Gaussian and Laguerre ensembles, now studying the gap-probability generating functions. We show that the…
Given a discrete group $\Gamma$ of isometries of a negatively curved manifold $\widetilde M$, a nontrivial conjugacy class $\mathfrak K$ in $\Gamma$ and $x_0\in\widetilde M$, we give asymptotic counting results, as $t\to +\infty$, on the…
Let $\be\in(1,2)$. Each $x\in I_\be:=[0,\frac{1}{\be-1}]$ can be represented in the form \[ x=\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_k\be^{-k}, \] where $a_k\in\{0,1\}$ for all $k$ (a $\be$-expansion of $x$). It was shown in \cite{S} that a.e. $x\in I_\be$…
We show that not every Salem number appears as the growth rate of a cocompact hyperbolic Coxeter group. We also give a new proof of the fact that the growth rates of planar hyperbolic Coxeter groups are spectral radii of Coxeter…
In this paper we give the asymptotic growth of the number of connected components of the moduli space of surfaces of general type corresponding to certain families of Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p)$, or an alternating…
We study the growth rate of a sequence which measures the uniform norm of the differential under the iterates of maps. On symplectically hyperbolic manifolds, we show that this sequence has at least linear growth for every non-identical…
We consider H\"older continuous $GL(d,\mathbb R)$-valued cocycles, and more generally linear cocycles, over an accessible volume-preserving center-bunched partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism. We study the regularity of a conjugacy between…
We study the growth of typical groups from the family of $p$-groups of intermediate growth constructed by the second author. We find that, in the sense of category, a generic group exhibits oscillating growth with no universal upper bound.…
Generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups are defined as fundamental groups of graphs of groups with infinite cyclic vertex and edge groups. Forester proved (in "On uniqueness of JSJ decompositions of finitely generated groups", Comment. Math.…
We study the growth of the number of conjugacy classes of infinite dihedral subgroups of lattices in PSL(2,R), generalizing earlier work of Sarnak and Bourgain-Kontorovich on the growth of the number of reciprocal geodesics on the modular…
In this paper, we primarily investigate the following symmetric presentation of the surface group $\pi_1(\Sigma_g)=\left\langle c_1,\dots, c_{2g}\mid c_1\cdots c_{2g}c_1^{-1}\cdots c_{2g}^{-1}\right\rangle$. For every nontrivial element…
