We prove that over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic different from $2$, the group algebra $R=\mathbb{K} D_\infty$ of the infinite dihedral group $D_\infty$ has exactly six conjugacy classes of involutions…

We prove twisted homological stability with polynomial coefficients for automorphism groups of free nilpotent groups of any given class. These groups interpolate between two extremes for which homological stability was known before, the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $T(G)$ be the sum of the degrees of its irreducible complex representations. We investigate the relationship between $T(G)$ and the number of twisted involutions $m_\sigma = |\{g \in G \mid \sigma(g) =…

We prove several rigidity properties for random quotients of mapping class groups of surfaces, namely whose kernel is normally generated by the n-th steps of finitely many independent random walks. Firstly, we generalise a celebrated…

We prove that the outer automorphism group $Out(G)$ is residually finite when the group $G$ is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) or when $G$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of some compact $3$-manifold. To…

Given a group $G$ and an automorphism $\varphi$ of $G$, two elements $x,y\in G$ are said to be $\varphi$-conjugate if $x=gy\varphi(g)^{-1}$ for some $g\in G$. The number $R(\varphi)$ of equivalence classes with respect to this relation is…

We show that in cohomogeneity 3 there are G-manifolds with any given number of isolated singular orbits and an invariant metric of positive Ricci curvature. We show that the corresponding result is also true in cohomogeneity 5 provided the…

We explain a connection between the algebraic and geometric properties of groups of contact transformations, open book decompositions, and flexible Legendrian embeddings. The main result is that, if a closed contact manifold $(V, \xi)$ has…

We show that every non-amenable free product of groups admits free ergodic probability measure preserving actions which have relative property (T) in the sense of S.-Popa \cite[Def. 4.1]{Pop06}. There are uncountably many such actions up to…

According to Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara, a finitely generated group is said to have property (QT) if it acts isometrically on a finite product of quasi-trees so that orbital maps are quasi-isometric embeddings. We prove that the fundamental…

We prove that if $G$ is a countable discrete group with property (T) over an infinite subgroup $H<G$ which contains an infinite Abelian subgroup or is normal, then $G$ has continuum many orbit inequivalent measure preserving a.e. free…

We study generic properties of topological groups in the sense of Baire category. First we investigate countably infinite (discrete) groups. We extend a classical result of B. H. Neumann, H. Simmons and A. Macintyre on algebraically closed…

Let K be a field of characteristic 2 and G a nonabelian locally finite 2-group. Let V(KG) be the group of units with augmentation 1 in the group algebra KG. An explicit list of groups is given, and it is proved that all involutions in V(KG)…

It is proven that every non-abelian right-angled Artin group has the $R_\infty$-property and bounds are given on the $R_\infty$-nilpotency index. In case the graph is transposition-free, which is true for almost all graphs, it is shown that…

We prove that the isomorphism problem is decidable for generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) groups with one quasi-conjugacy class and full support gaps. In order to do so we introduce a family of invariants that fully characterize the…

We prove that finitely presented residually free groups are subgroup conjugacy separable. Furthermore, if they are of type $FP_\infty$, then they are also subgroup conjugacy distinguished. Using a connection between conjugacy separability…

A reduction $\varphi$ of an ordered group $(G,P)$ to another ordered group is an order homomorphism which maps each interval $[1,p]$ bijectively onto $[1, \varphi(p)]$. We show that if $(G,P)$ is weakly quasi-lattice ordered and reduces to…

Given a countable group $G$, let ${\rm L}(G)$ denote its von Neumann algebra. For a wide class of ICC groups with Kazhdan's property (T), we confirm a conjecture of V.F.R. Jones asserting that $Out(\text{L}(G))\cong Char (G)\rtimes Out(G)$.…

We develop the concept of twisted ambidexterity in a parametrized presentably symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category, which generalizes the notion of ambidexterity by Hopkins and Lurie and the Wirthm\"uller isomorphisms in equivariant stable…

If G is a locally essential subgroup of a compact abelian group K, then: (i) t(G)=w(G)=w(K), where t(G) is the tightness of G; (ii) if G is radial, then K must be metrizable; (iii) G contains a super-sequence S converging to 0 such that…
