In this talk we introduce several topics in combinatorial number theory which are related to groups; the topics include combinatorial aspects of covers of groups by cosets, and also restricted sumsets and zero-sum problems on abelian…

The Mordell-Lang conjecture describes the intersection of a finitely generated subgroup with a closed subvariety of a semiabelian variety. Equivalently, this conjecture describes the intersection of closed subvarieties with the set of…

We make available some results about model theory cyclically ordered groups. We start with a classification of complete theories of divisible abelian cyclically ordered groups. Then we look at the cyclically ordered groups where the only…

We define the notion of mock hyperbolic reflection spaces and use it to study Frobenius groups, in particular in the context of groups of finite Morley rank including the so-called bad groups. We show that connected Frobenius groups of…

This is a largely expository paper about how groups arise or are of interest in model theory. Included are the following topics: classifying groups definable in specific structures or theories and the relation to algebraic groups, groups…

The structure of groups for which certain sets of commutator subgroups are finite is investigated, with a particular focus on the relationship between these groups and those with finite derived subgroup.

An algebra is said to be \emph{$\tau$-tilting finite} provided it has only a finite number of $\tau$-rigid objects up to isomorphism. We associate a category to each such algebra. The objects are the wide subcategories of its category of…

We prove that in a connected group of finite Morley rank the centralizers of decent tori are connected. We then apply this result to the analysis of minimal connected simple groups of finite Morley rank. Our applications include general…

This article is devoted to the investigation of structure of wrap groups of fiber bundles over ultra-normed infinite fields and more generally over Cayley-Dickson algebras. Iterated wrap groups are studied as well. Their smashed products…

We investigate linearity of amalgams of subgroups of algebraic groups along intersections with algebraic subgroups. In the process, we establish linearity of certain "doubles" of linear groups, and obtain new examples of finitely generated…

A transitive permutation group is semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is transitive or semiregular. Interest in this class of groups is motivated by two sources: problems arising in universal algebra related to collapsing monoids…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a field of prime characteristic. One can associate to G (or subgroups thereof) its Lie algebra, its Frobenius kernels, and the finite Chevalley group of points over a finite field. The…

General arguments of Baumslag and Bieri guarantee that any metabelian group of finite Pr\"ufer rank can be embedded in a metabelian constructible group. Here, we consider the metric behavior of a rich class of examples and analyze the…

In this paper, we survey recent works on the structure of the mapping class groups of surfaces mainly from the point of view of topology. We then discuss several possible directions for future research. These include the relation between…

The notion of entropy appears in many fields and this paper is a survey about entropies in several branches of Mathematics. We are mainly concerned with the topological and the algebraic entropy in the context of continuous endomorphisms of…

The first examples of formations which are arboreous (and therefore Hall) but not freely indexed (and therefore not locally extensible) are found. Likewise, the first examples of solvable formations which are freely indexed and arboreous…

We introduce analogues of Soergel bimodules for complex reflection groups of rank one. We give an explicit parametrization of the indecomposable objects of the resulting category and give a presentation of its split Grothendieck ring by…

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks if an isomorphism of group algebras of two finite p-groups G and H over a field of characteristic p, implies an isomorhism of the groups G and H. We survey the history of the problem, explain strategies…

We investigate the proportion of fixed point free permutations (derangements) in finite transitive permutation groups. This article is the first in a series where we prove a conjecture of Shalev that the proportion of such elements is…

We restructure and advance the classification theory of finite racks and quandles by employing powerful methods from transformation groups and representation theory, especially Burnside rings. These rings serve as universal receptacles for…
