In this paper, we show that the arc-connectedness equivalence relation on a Polish subspace of the real plane is an essentially hyperfinite Borel equivalence relation. This result provides the optimal upper bound for such a Borel…

Given an arbitrary group $G$ we construct a semigroup of idempotents (band) $B_G$ with the property that the free idempotent generated semigroup over $B_G$ has a maximal subgroup isomorphic to $G$. If $G$ is finitely presented then $B_G$ is…

We present a method for computing the number of epimorphisms from a finitely-presented group G to a finite solvable group \Gamma, which generalizes a formula of G\"aschutz. Key to this approach are the degree 1 and 2 cohomology groups of G,…

We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…

We construct a 2-generated group $\Gamma $ such that its Cayley graph possesses finite connected subsets with arbitrarily big finite Heesch number.

There are various results in the literature which are part of the general philosophy that a finite group for which a certain parameter (for example, the number of conjugacy classes or the maximum number of elements inverted, squared or…

We first explain how to endow the space of subequivalence relations of any non-singular countable equivalence relation with a Polish topology, extending the framework of Kechris' recent monograph on subequivalence relations of probability…

Let ${\cal K}_1(G)$ denote the inverse subsemigroup of ${\cal K}(G)$ consisting of all right cosets of all non-trivial subgroups of $G$. This paper concentrates on the study of the group $\Sigma({\cal K}_1(G))$ of all units of the…

A graph product kernel means the kernel of the natural surjection from a graph product to the corresponding direct product. We prove that a graph product kernel of countable groups is special, and a graph product of finite or cyclic groups…

Let $G$ be a topological group and let $\mu$ be the Lebesgue measure on the interval $[0,1]$. We let $L_0(G)$ to be the topological group of all $\mu$-equivalence classes of $\mu$-measurable functions defined on [0,1] with values in $G$,…

In this paper, we prove a result on nonmeasurable subgroups in commutative Polish groups with respect to more generalized structures than sigma-finite measures.

This paper gives a new explicit construction of the $\mathbb{Q}$-algebraic hull for virtually solvable groups $\Gamma$ of finite abelian ranks, taking into account the spectrum $S$ of the group $\Gamma$. As an application, we make a…

Let G and F be finitely generated groups with infinitely many ends and let A and B be graph of groups decompositions of F and G such that all edge groups are finite and all vertex groups have at most one end. We show that G and F are…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is the fundamental group of a graph of groups all of whose vertex and edge groups are infinite cyclic. Levitt proves that any generalized Baumslag-Solitar group has property R-infinity, that is, any…

We show that polynomial time Turing equivalence and a large class of other equivalence relations from computational complexity theory are universal countable Borel equivalence relations. We then discuss ultrafilters on the invariant Borel…

We introduce the space of infinite volume ends of a locally compact second countable (lcsc) space that admits a Radon measure. In certain cases, this coincides with the classical space of ends. Consider a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a…

We classify finite groups $G$, such that the group algebra, $\mathbb{Q}G$ (over the field of rational numbers $\mathbb{Q}$), is the direct product of the group algebra $\mathbb{Q}[G/N]$ of a proper factor group $G/N$, and some division…

For W a finite Coxeter group, a formula is found for the size of W equivalence classes of subsets of a base. The proof is a case-by-case analysis using results and tables of Carter and Orlik/Solomon. As a corollary we obtain an alternating…

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $\Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $\SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite…

We characterize which groups splitting as finite graphs of free groups with cyclic edge groups are residually finite. Such a group $G$ is residually finite if and only if all its Baumslag-Solitar subgroups are residually finite. From a…
