For locally compact groups G and H let A(G) denote the Fourier algebra of G and B(H) the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of H. Any continuous piecewise affine map alpha:Y -> G (where Y is an element of the open coset ring of H) induces a…

We study the commensurators of free groups and free pro-$p$ groups, as well as certain subgroups of these. We prove that the commensurator $Comm(F)$ of a non-abelian free group of finite rank $F$ is not virtually simple, answering a…

In 1976 S. Eilenberg and M.-P. Sch\"{u}tzenberger posed the following diabolical question: if $\mathbf{A}$ is a finite algebraic structure, $\Sigma$ is the set of all identities true in $\mathbf{A}$, and there exists a finite subset $F$ of…

Premetrics and premetrisable spaces have been long studied and their topological interrelationships are well-understood. Consider the category ${\bf Pre}$ of premetric spaces and $\epsilon$-$\delta$ continuous functions as morphisms. The…

We prove that if $A_1, A_2, \dots, A_n$ are tracial abelian von Neumann algebras for $2\leq n \leq \infty$ and $M = A_1 * \cdots * A_n$ is their free product, then any subalgebra $A \subset M$ of the form $A = \sum_{i=1}^n u_i A_i p_i…

The equaliser of a set of homomorphisms $S: F(a, b)\rightarrow F(\Delta)$ has rank at most two if $S$ contains an injective map, and is not finitely generated otherwise. This proves a strong form of Stallings' Equaliser Conjecture for the…

We study the images of polynomial maps over algebraically closed division rings. Our first result generalizes the classical Ax-Grothendieck theorem: We show that if $ f_1, \ldots, f_m $ are elements of the free associative algebra $…

We consider algebras of rational power series over an alphabet $\Sigma$ with coefficients in a commutative semiring $K$ and characterize them as the free algebras in various classes of algebraic structures.

We provide a geometric model for the free $X$-generated $F$-restriction semigroup in the extended signature $(\cdot\,, ^+, ^m,\lambda)$, where the unary operation $^m$ maps an element $a$ to the maximum element $a^m$ of its $\sigma$-class,…

Let $S$ be a unital associative ring and $S[t;\sigma,\delta]$ be a skew polynomial ring, where $\sigma$ is an injective endomorphism of $S$ and $\delta$ a left $\sigma$-derivation. For each $f\in S[t;\sigma,\delta]$ of degree $m>1$ with a…

We construct a correspondence between epimorphisms $\varphi \colon \pi_1(M) \to F_r$ from the fundamental group of a compact manifold $M$ onto the free group of rank $r$, and systems of $r$ framed non-separating hypersurfaces in $M$, which…

We study analogues of classical Hilbert transforms as fourier multipliers on free groups. We prove their complete boundedness on non commutative $L^p$ spaces associated with the free group von Neumann algebras for all $1<p<\infty$. This…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a semisimple complex Lie algebra of finite dimension and $\mathfrak{h}$ be a semisimple subalgebra. We present an approach to find the branching rules for the pair $\mathfrak{g}\supset\mathfrak{h}$. According to an…

The key to a robust and efficient implementation of a computational geometry algorithm is an efficient algorithm for detecting degenerate predicates. We study degeneracy detection in constructing the free space of a polyhedron that rotates…

We formulate the dynamics of an infinitely extended open dissipative quantum system, ${\Sigma]$,in the Schroedinger picture.The generic model on which this is based comprises a C*-algebra,$[\cal A}$,of observables, a folium, ${\cal F}$, of…

Let $\Gamma $ be an infinite discrete group and $\mathsf{A}\subset \Gamma $ a nonempty finite subset. The set of permutations $\sigma $ of $\Gamma $ such that $s^{-1}\sigma (s)\in \mathsf{A}$ for every $s\in \Gamma $ can be identified with…

As an instance of a linear action of a Hopf algebra on a free associative algebra, we consider finite group gradings of a free algebra induced by gradings on the space spanned by the free generators. The homogeneous component corresponding…

We introduce an embedding of the free magma on a set A into the direct product of the free magma on a singleton set and the free semigroup on A. This embedding is then used to prove several theorems related to algebraic independence of…

Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that the Freiheitssatz holds for brace algebras, the word problem for the brace algebras with a single defining relation is decidable, two generated subalgebras of free brace algebras are free,…

We study modules over a generalized Weyl algebra $R(\sigma,a)$ which are free when restricted to the base ring $R$. When $R$ is an integral domain, we construct all such finite-rank modules up to isomorphism, leading to new simple modules…
