We solve three open problems concerning infinite-dimensional Lie groups posed in a recent survey article by K.-H. Neeb: (1) There exists a subgroup of some infinite-dimensional Lie group G which does not admit an initial Lie subgroup…

In this short article, we give a summary of the Sylow $p$-subgroups of the finite simple groups of classical Lie type.

We consider a problem whether a given Lie group can be realized as the group of all biholomorphic automorphisms of a bounded domain in the affine complex space. In an earlier paper of 1990, we proved the result for connected linear Lie…

We provide new bounds for the divisibility function of the free group F_2 and construct short laws for the symmetric groups Sym(n). The construction is random and relies on the classification of the finite simple groups. We also give bounds…

We show that every compact connected group is the limit of a continuous inverse sequence, in the category of compact groups, where each successor bonding map is either an epimorphism with finite kernel or the projection from a product by a…

We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…

We study adequate subgroups of $GL_n$ over a finite field. This notion is useful in the study of automorphy lifting theorems. In particular, we give a sufficient condition for a subgroup to be adequate.

We investigate two ways in which self-maps of an infinite set may be close to bijections; our investigation generates a $\mathbb{Z}$-valued index theory and a corresponding extension by $\mathbb{Z}$ for the quotient of the full symmetric…

We prove a uniform version of the Tits alternative. As a consequence, we obtain uniform lower bounds for the Cheeger constant of Cayley grahs of finitely generated non virtually solvable linear groups in arbitrary characteristic. Also we…

This is an expository paper. It is not difficult to see that every group homomorphism from the additive group Z of integers to the additive group R of real numbers extends to a homomorphism from R to R. We discuss other examples of discrete…

We introduce and study relatively divisible and relatively flat objects in exact categories in the sense of Quillen. For every relative cotorsion pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ in an exact category $\mathcal{C}$, $\mathcal{A}$ coincides…

The solubilizer of an element $x$ of a profinite group $G$ is the set of the elements $y$ of $G$ such that the subgroup of $G$ generated by $x$ and $y$ is prosoluble. We propose the following conjecture: the solubilizer of $x$ in $G$ has…

In this paper the concept of $\mathbb{F}$-functorial of a finite group was introduced. These functorials have many properties of the Fitting subgroup of a soluble group and the generalized Fitting subgroup of a finite group. It was shown…

A recurring theme in finite group theory is understanding how the structure of a finite group is determined by the arithmetic properties of group invariants. There are results in the literature determining the structure of finite groups…

We extend Gow's theorem on products of semisimple regular conjugacy classes to finite groups whose generalized Fitting subgroup is Z(G)S where S is a quasisimple group of Lie type in characteristic p and Z(G) has order prime to p.

We develop a method for providing quantitative estimates for higher order correlations of group actions. In particular, we establish effective mixing of all orders for actions of semisimple Lie groups as well as semisimple $S$-algebraic…

We produce an example of an irreducible discrete subgroup in the product $SL(2,\R)\times SL(2,\R)$ which is not a lattice. This answers a question asked in [15].

Two measures of how near an arbitrary function between groups is to being a homomorphism are considered. These have properties similar to conjugates and commutators. The authors show that there is a rich theory based on these structures,…

Let $U$ be a Banach Lie group and $G\le U$ a compact subgroup. We show that closed Lie subgroups of $U$ contained in sufficiently small neighborhoods $V\supseteq G$ are compact, and conjugate to subgroups of $G$ by elements close to $1\in…

We prove some new cases of real appoximation for homogeneous spaces with finite stabilizers and describe the state of the art around this question, giving proofs that are well-known to experts but that, to our knowledge, cannot be found in…
