It is shown that a nontrivial normal subgroup $N$ of a group $G$ is a free factor of the $N$'s normal closure in the $G$'s free product with arbitrary nontrivial groups.

We deal with the problem of existence of uncountable co-Hopfian abelian groups and (absolute) Hopfian abelian groups. Firstly, we prove that there are no co-Hopfian reduced abelian groups $G$ of size $< \mathfrak{p}$ with infinite…

The article deals with profinite groups in which centralizers are virtually procyclic. Suppose that G is a profinite group such that the centralizer of every nontrivial element is virtually torsion-free while the centralizer of every…

Let $p$ be a prime. A pro-$p$ group $G$ is said to be 1-smooth if it can be endowed with a continuous representation $\theta\colon G\to\mathrm{GL}_1(\mathbb{Z}_p)$ such that every open subgroup $H$ of $G$, together with the restriction…

If $C$ is a smooth curve over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p$, then the structure of the maximal prime to $p$ quotient of the \'etale fundamental group is known by analytic methods. In this paper, we discuss the…

We study model geometries of finitely generated groups. If a finitely generated group does not contain a non-trivial finite rank free abelian commensurated subgroup, we show any model geometry is dominated by either a symmetric space of…

We show that the group cohomology of torsion-free virtually polycyclic groups and the continuous cohomology of simply connected solvable Lie groups can be computed by the rational cohomology of algebraic groups. Our results are…

We will answer a question raised by Emmanuel Dror Farjoun concerning the existence of torsion-free abelian groups G such that for any ordered pair of pure elements there is a unique automorphism mapping the first element onto the second…

We prove the bounded packing property for any abelian subgroup of a group acting properly and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cube complex. A main ingredient of the proof is a cubical flat torus theorem. This ingredient is also used to show that…

I prove a crystalline characterization of abelian varieties in characteristic $p>0$ amongst the class of varieties with trivial tangent bundle. I show using my characterization that a smooth, projective, ordinary variety with trivial…

We show that a tensor product of irreducible, finite dimensional representations of a simple Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, determines the individual constituents uniquely. This is analogous to the uniqueness of prime…

If A is an abelian variety over a number field K, and L is a (possibly infinite) extension of K generated by torsion points of A, then the quotient of A(L) by its torsion subgroup is a free abelian group.

We show that for every finitely presented pro-$p$ nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite group $G$ there is an upper bound on $\dim_{\mathbb{Q}_p} (H_1(M, \mathbb{Z}_p) \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}_p} \mathbb{Q}_p )$, as $M$ runs through all pro-$p$…

For a length abelian category, we show that all torsion-free classes can be classified by using only the information on bricks, including non functorially-finite ones. The idea is to consider the set of simple objects in a torsion-free…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a free (unitary or orthogonal) quantum group. We prove that for any non-amenable subfactor $N\subset L^\infty(\mathbb{G})$, which is an image of a faithful normal conditional expectation, and for any $\sigma$-finite…

We study the pro-$p$ group $G$ whose finite quotients give the prototypical Sylow $p$-subgroup of the general linear groups over a finite field of prime characteristic $p$. In this article, we extend the known results on the subgroup…

We prove that if a surface group embeds as a normal subgroup in a K\"ahler group and the conjugation action of the K\"ahler group on the surface group preserves the conjugacy class of a non-trivial element, then the K\"ahler group is…

Motivated by their study of pro-p limit groups, D.H. Kochloukova and P.A. Zalesskii formulated a question concerning the minimum number of generators d(N) of a normal subgroup N of prime index p in a non-abelian limit group G (cf.…

In this note, we prove: \medskip \noindent {\bf Theorem A:} \emph{ There is a fixed constant $C$ such that for any positive integer $n$ and prime $p$, every finite subgroup $G$ of order coprime to $p$ of ${\rm GL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ has an…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary torsion subgroup of the higher Brauer group is a sufficient criterion for the Tate conjecture to hold.…
