Suppose $G$ is a finitely presented group that is hyperbolic relative to ${\bf P}$ a finite collection of 1-ended finitely generated proper subgroups of $G$. If $G$ and the ${\bf P}$ are 1-ended and the boundary $\partial (G,{\bf P})$ has…

The complex algebra of an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents in each $\mathcal D$-class is stably finite by a result of Munn. This can be proved fairly easily using $C^*$-algebras for inverse semigroups satisfying this…

In this note an `extended Burnside ring' is defined, generated by classes of semisimple module categories over Rep(G) with quasifibre functors. Here G is a finite group and representations are taken over an algebraically closed field of…

We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…

Using the Burnside ring theoretic methods a new setting and a complete description of the Artin exponent $A(G)$ of finite $p$-groups was obtained in a previous article of the first-named author. In this paper, we compute $A(G)$ for any…

Given a group $G$, we write $g^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $g$. A theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the commutator subgroup…

Let $G$ be a (compact) special group in the sense of Haglund and Wise. We show that ${\rm Out}(G)$ is finitely generated, and provide a virtual generating set consisting of Dehn twists and ``pseudo-twists''. We exhibit instances where Dehn…

Previous formulations of group theory in ACL2 and Nqthm, based on either "encapsulate" or "defn-sk", have been limited by their failure to provide a path to proof by induction on the order of a group, which is required for most interesting…

Given a simple vertex algebra A and a reductive group G of automorphisms of A, the invariant subalgebra A^G is strongly finitely generated in most examples where its structure is known. This phenomenon is subtle, and is generally not true…

In this paper we prove that any finite group of order $n$ can be viewed as the group of the solutions of a certain matrix equation $XB=BY$, where the unknowns $X,Y$ are two permutation matrices of order $n$ and $(1+k)n+2 $ respectively and…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. We say that $H$ is extremely closed in $G$ if $\langle H,H^g\rangle\cap N_G(H)=H$ for all $g\in G.$ In this paper, we determine the structure of finite groups with an extremely…

It is shown that there exist infinitely many non-integers $r>2$ such that the Dehn function of some finitely presented group is $\simeq n^r$. For each positive rational number $s$ we construct pairs of finitely presented groups $H\subset G$…

We prove that the isomorphism problem for finitely generated fully residually free groups is decidable. We also show that each finitely generated fully residually free group G has a decomposition that is invariant under automorphisms of G,…

We show that every countable group embeds in a group of type $FP_2$.

Semistability at infinity is an asymptotic property of finitely presented groups that is needed in order to effectively define the fundamental group at infinity for a 1-ended group. It is an open problem whether or not all finitely…

This is the second part of a two part work in which we prove that for every finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma < \mathsf{Out}(F_n)$, either $\Gamma$ is virtually abelian or its second bounded cohomology $H^2_b(\Gamma;\mathbb{R})$ contains…

Let $G$ be a closed highly homogeneous subgroup of $S_{\infty}$ not involving circular orderings. We show that the closure of a conjugacy class from $G$ contains a conjugacy class which is comeagre in it. Furthermore, we show that the…

Following Isaacs (see [Isa08, p. 94]), we call a normal subgroup N of a finite group G large, if $C_G(N) \leq N$, so that N has bounded index in G. Our principal aim here is to establish some general results for systematically producing…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group that can be written as an extension \[ 1 \longrightarrow K \stackrel{i}{\longrightarrow} G \stackrel{f}{\longrightarrow} \Gamma \longrightarrow 1 \] where $K$ is a finitely generated group. By a study…

We generalize the small cancellation theory over hyperbolic groups developed by Olshanskii to the case of relatively hyperbolic groups. This allows us to construct infinite finitely generated groups with exactly $n$ conjugacy classes for…
