For $\beta\in{\mathbb Z}$, let $G(\beta)=\langle A,B\,|\, A^{[A,B]}=A,\, B^{[B,A]}=B^\beta\rangle$ be the infinite Macdonald group, and set $C=[A,B]$. Then $G(\beta)$ is a nilpotent polycyclic group of the form $\langle…
Some varieties of groupoids and quasigroups generated by linear-bivariate polynomials $P(x,y)=a+bx+cy$ over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ are studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for such groupoids and quasigroups to obey identities which…
Cyclohedra are a well-known infinite familiy of finite-dimensional polytopes that can be constructed from centrally symmetric triangulations of even-sided polygons. In this article we introduce an infinite-dimensional analogue and prove…
A Cantor surface $\mathcal C_d$ is a non-compact surface obtained by gluing copies of a fixed compact surface $Y^d$ (a block), with $d+1$ boundary components, in a tree-like fashion. For a fixed subgroup $H<Map(Y^d)$ , we consider the…
Let $K$ be a commutative ring with unit and $S$ an inverse semigroup. We show that the semigroup algebra $KS$ can be described as a convolution algebra of functions on the universal \'etale groupoid associated to $S$ by Paterson. This…
We demonstrate the common bihamiltonian nature of several integrable systems. The first one is an elliptic rotator that is an integrable Euler-Arnold top on the complex group GL(N) for any $N$, whose inertia ellipsiod is related to a choice…
We investigate the concept of definable, or inner, automorphism in the logical setting of partial Horn theories. The central technical result extends a syntactical characterization of the group of such automorphisms (called the covariant…
The goal of this paper is to construct quasi-isometrically embedded subgroups of Thompson's group $F$ which are isomorphic to $\fz^n$ for all $n$. A result estimating the norm of an element of Thompson's group is found. As a corollary,…
The group of $\mathcal C^1$-diffeomorphisms of any sparse Cantor subset of a manifold is countable and discrete (possibly trivial). Thompson's groups come out of this construction when we consider central ternary Cantor subsets of an…
This is the first of a series of papers in which we initiate and develop the theory of reflection monoids, motivated by the theory of reflection groups. The main results identify a number of important inverse semigroups as reflection…
The article presents results on the well-known problem concerning the structure of integer polynomials $p_n(z; x, y)$, which define multiplication laws in $n$-valued groups $\mathbb{G}_n$ over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$. We…
We construct a finitely presented group with coNP-complete word problem, and a finitely generated simple group with coNP-complete word problem. These groups are represented as Thompson groups, hence as partial transformation groups of…
When the standard representation of a crystallographic Coxeter group G (with string diagram) is reduced modulo the integer d>1, one obtains a finite group G^d which is often the automorphism group of an abstract regular polytope. Building…
We investigate the relationship between endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebra ${\mathcal O}_2$ and endomorphisms of the Thompson groups $F$, $T$ and $V$ represented inside the unitary group of ${\mathcal O}_2$. For an endomorphism $\lambda_u$…
In the quest in constructing conformal field theories (CFT) Jones has discovered a beautiful and deep connection between CFT, Richard Thompson's groups and knot theory. This led to a powerful functorial framework for constructing actions of…
We examine from an invariant theory viewpoint the monoid algebras for two monoids having large symmetry groups. The first monoid is the free left-regular band on $n$ letters, defined on the set of all injective words, that is, the words…
We study connections between self-inversive and self-reciprocal polynomials, reduction theory of binary forms, minimal models of curves, and formally self-dual codes. We prove that if $\mathcal X$ is a superelliptic curve defined over…
A partial automorphism of a finite graph is an isomorphism between its vertex induced subgraphs. The set of all partial automorphisms of a given finite graph forms an inverse monoid under composition (of partial maps). We describe the…
We establish a close and previously unknown relation between quantales and groupoids, in terms of which the notion of etale groupoid is subsumed in a natural way by that of quantale. In particular, to each etale groupoid, either localic or…
Every $F$-inverse monoid can be equipped with the unary operation which maps each element to the maximum element of its $\sigma$-class. In this enriched signature, the class of all $F$-inverse monoids forms a variety of algebraic…
