Let $n\ge2$. In this note we give a short uniform proof of property $R_\infty$ for the Artin-Tits groups of spherical types $A_n$, $B_n$, $D_4$, $I_2(m)$ ($m\ge3$), their pure subgroups, and for the Artin-Tits groups of affine types…

Let $G$ be an irreducible imprimitive subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{F})$, where $\mathbb{F}$ is a field. Any system of imprimitivity for $G$ can be refined to a nonrefinable system of imprimitivity, and we consider the question…

We classify framed and oriented 2-1-0-extended TQFTs with values in the bicategories of Landau-Ginzburg models, whose objects and 1-morphisms are isolated singularities and (either $\mathbb{Z}_2$- or $(\mathbb{Z}_2 \times…

Following Boardman-Vogt, McDuff, Segal, and others, we construct a monoidal topological groupoid or space of finite subsets of the plane, and interpret the Burau representation of knot theory as a topological quantum field theory defined on…

The minimal irreducible representations of $U_q[gl(m|n)]$, i.e. those irreducible representations that are also irreducible under $U_q[osp(m|n)]$ are investigated and shown to be affinizable to give irreducible representations of the…

In this paper, we prove an equality which involves Reidemeister torsion, complex volume, and Zograf infinite product for closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

The classical de Finetti theorem in probability theory relates symmetry under the permutation group with the independence of random variables. This result has application in quantum information. Here we study states that are invariant with…

Let $\mathfrak{S}_\infty$ be the infinity permutation group and $\Gamma$ be a separable topological group. The wreath product $\Gamma\wr \mathfrak{S}_\infty$ is the semidirect product $\Gamma^\infty_e \rtimes \mathfrak{S}_\infty$ for the…

Thurston's Ending Lamination Conjecture states that a hyperbolic 3-manifold N with finitely generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end invariants. In this paper we prove this conjecture for…

We prove for a wide class of saturated weakly branch group (including the (first) Grigorchuk group and the Gupta-Sidki group) that the Reidemeister number of any automorphism is infinite.

We present a simple closed form expression for the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory as a function of the magnetic fluxes and complex chemical potentials valid at fixed $k$ and to all orders in the $1/N$ expansion. This in turn…

Consider the generalized iterated wreath product $\mathbb{Z}_{r_1}\wr \mathbb{Z}_{r_2}\wr \ldots \wr \mathbb{Z}_{r_k}$ where $r_i \in \mathbb{N}$. We prove that the irreducible representations for this class of groups are indexed by a…

In this paper, we first show that the irreducible characters of a quotient table algebra modulo a normal closed subset can be viewed as the irreducible characters of the table algebra itself. Furthermore, we define the character products…

Let $G$ be a group and $\varphi$ an automorphism of $G$. Two elements $x,y \in G$ are said to be $\varphi$-conjugate if there exists a third element $z \in G$ such that $z x \varphi(z)^{-1} = y$. Being $\varphi$-conjugate defines an…

For all sufficiently large odd integers $n$, the following version of Higman's embedding theorem is proved in the variety ${\cal B}_n$ of all groups satisfying the identity $x^n=1$. A finitely generated group $G$ from ${\cal B}_n$ has a…

We show that the cohomological invariant $r^\sharp$, introduced in [1] as a lower bound for the off-diagonal holonomy dimension of metric connections with totally skew torsion on product manifolds, predicts the behaviour of the torsion…

We prove that the category of $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifolds has all finite products. Further, we show that a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifold (resp., a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-morphism) can be reconstructed from its algebra of global $\mathbb{Z}_2…

We prove that finite lamplighter groups $\{\mathbb{Z}_2\wr\mathbb{Z}_n\}_{n\ge 2}$ with a standard set of generators embed with uniformly bounded distortions into any non-superreflexive Banach space, and therefore form a set of test-spaces…

For a finitely generated free group F_n, of rank at least 2, any finite subgroup of Out(F_n) can be realized as a group of automorphisms of a graph with fundamental group F_n. This result, known as Out(F_n) realization, was proved by…

The equivalence classes of irreducible representations of wreath product $\mathfrak{S}_n(T) = T^n \rtimes \mathfrak{S}_n$ of finite group $T$ with respect to symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ are parametrized by $\mathbb{Y}_n(\widehat{T})$,…
