We will say that a group G possesses the Magnus property if for any two elements u,v in G with the same normal closure, u is conjugate to v or v^{-1}. We prove that some one-relator groups, including the fundamental groups of closed…

A group $G$ possesses the Magnus property if for every two elements $u,v \in G$ with the same normal closure, $u$ is conjugate in $G$ to $v$ or $v^{-1}$. We prove the Magnus property for some amalgamated products including the fundamental…

Magnus proved that, given two elements $x$ and $y$ of a finitely generated free group $F$ with equal normal closures $\langle x\rangle^F=\langle y\rangle^F$, then $x$ is conjugated either to $y$ or $y^{-1}$. More recently, this property,…

A group G is said to have the Magnus property if the following holds: whenever two elements x,y have the same normal closure, then x is conjugate to y or its inverse. We prove: Let p be an odd prime, and let G,H be residually finite-p…

We investigate finite groups with the Magnus Property, where a group is said to have the Magnus Property (MP) if whenever two elements have the same normal closure then they are conjugate or inverse conjugate. In particular we observe that…

Motivated by a classic result for free groups, one says that a group $G$ has the Magnus property if the following holds: whenever two elements generate the same normal subgroup of $G$, they are conjugate or inverse-conjugate in $G$. It is a…

We generalize the notion of a Magnus expansion of a free group in order to extend each of the Johnson homomorphisms defined on a decreasing filtration of the Torelli group for a surface with one boundary component to the whole of the…

We generalise a key result of one-relator group theory, namely Magnus's Freiheitssatz, to partially commutative groups, under sufficiently strong conditions on the relator. The main theorem shows that under our conditions, on an element $r$…

Let $G$ be a locally compact amenable group. We say that G has property (M) if every closed subgroup of finite covolume in G is cocompact. A classical theorem of Mostow ensures that connected solvable Lie groups have property (M). We prove…

We show that every finitely generated extension by $\mathbb{Z}$ of a locally normally finite group has Shalom's property $H_{\mathrm{FD}}$. This is no longer true without the normality assumption. This permits to answer some questions of…

A locally compact group $G$ has the factorization property if the map $$C^*(G)\odot C^*(G)\ni a\otimes b\mapsto \lambda(a)\rho(b)\in\mathcal B(L^2(G))$$ is continuous with respect to the minimal C*-norm. This paper seeks to initiate a…

The known facts about solvability of equations over groups are considered from a more general point of view. A generalized version of the theorem about solvability of unimodular equations over torsion-free groups is proved. In a special…

Let M be a compact manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that the group of homeomorphisms of M has the automatic continuity property: any homomorphism from Homeo(M) to any separable group is necessarily continuous. This answers a…

A group is said to have the Magnus Property (MP) if whenever two elements have the same normal closure then they are conjugate or inverse-conjugate. We show that a profinite MP group $G$ is prosolvable and any quotient of it is again MP. As…

A new class of groups, the locally finitely determined groups of local similarities on compact ultrametric spaces, is introduced and it is proved that groups in this class have the Haagerup property (that is, they are a-T-menable in the…

Let $R$ be an integral domain and $G$ be a subgroup of its group of units. We consider the category $\mathbf{\mathsf{Cob}}_G$ of 3-dimensional cobordisms between oriented surfaces with connected boundary, equipped with a representation of…

Recently, Brannan and Vergnioux showed that the free orthogonal quantum group factors $\mathcal{L}\mathbb{F}O_M$ have Jung's strong 1-boundedness property, and hence are not isomorphic to free group factors. We prove an analogous result for…

In this paper, we investigate several structural properties for crossed product ${\rm II_1}$ factors $M$ arising from free Bogoljubov actions associated with orthogonal representations $\pi : G \to \mathcal O(H_\mathbf R)$ of arbitrary…

A one-relator surface group is the quotient of an orientable surface group by the normal closure of a single relator. A Magnus subgroup is the fundamental group of a suitable incompressible sub-surface. A number of results are proved about…

We prove that an outer action of a locally compact group $G$ on a full factor $M$ is automatically strictly outer, meaning that the relative commutant of $M$ in the crossed product is trivial. If moreover the image of $G$ in the outer…
