Using wreath products, we construct a finitely generated pro-p group G with infinite normal Hausdorff spectrum with respect to the p-power series. More precisely, we show that this normal Hausdorff spectrum contains an infinite interval;…
We introduce a number of new tools for the study of relatively hyperbolic groups. First, given a relatively hyperbolic group G, we construct a nice combinatorial Gromov hyperbolic model space acted on properly by G, which reflects the…
A topological group G is said to be almost maximally almost-periodic if its von Neumann radical is non-trivial, but finite. In this paper, we prove that every abelian group with an infinite torsion subgroup admits a (Hausdorff) almost…
We present novel constructions concerning the homology of finitely generated groups. Each construction draws on ideas of Gilbert Baumslag. There is a finitely presented acyclic group $U$ such that $U$ has no proper subgroups of finite index…
These notes expand upon our lectures on {\em profinite rigidity} at the international colloquium on randomness, geometry and dynamics, organised by TIFR Mumbai at IISER Pune in January 2024. We are interested in the extent to which groups…
A strong generalized topological space is an ordered pair $\mathbf{X}=\langle X, \mathcal{T}\rangle$ such that $X$ is a set and $\mathcal{T}$ is a collection of subsets of $X$ such that $\emptyset, X\in \mathcal{T}$ and $\mathcal{T}$ is…
We extend several techniques and theorems from geometric group theory so that they apply to geometric actions on arbitrary proper metric ARs (absolute retracts). A second way that we generalize earlier results is by eliminating freeness…
We use model theoretic forcing to prove that a generic countable torsion-free group does not admit any nontrivial locally moving action on a Hausdorff topological space, and yet admits a rich Rubin poset.
Let $G$ be a right-angled Artin group with defining graph $\Gamma$ and let $H$ be a finitely generated group quasi-isometric to $G(\Gamma)$. We show if $G$ satisfies (1) its outer automorphism group is finite; (2) $\Gamma$ does not have…
Given a countable group $G$ splitting as a free product $G=G_1\ast\dots\ast G_k\ast F_N$, we establish classification results for subgroups of the group $Out(G,\mathcal{F})$ of all outer automorphisms of $G$ that preserve the conjugacy…
We disprove a strong form of the Regular Inverse Galois Problem: there exist finite groups $G$ which do not have a realization $F/\Qq(T)$ that induces all Galois extensions $L/\Qq(U)$ of group $G$ by specializing $T$ to $f(U) \in \Qq(U)$.…
Let $\pi$ be a finitely presented group. If h is a non trivial homology class in Hn($\pi$; Z), a theorem of Gromov (see [Gro83], 6) asserts the existence of regular geometric cycles which represent h, whose relative systolic volume is as…
A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is the fundamental group of a graph of groups all of whose vertex and edge groups are infinite cyclic. Levitt proves that any generalized Baumslag-Solitar group has property R-infinity, that is, any…
The purpose of this paper is to generalise Sullivan's rational homotopy theory to non-nilpotent spaces, providing an alternative approach to defining Toen's schematic homotopy types over any field k of characteristic zero. New features…
We exhibit a connection between geometric stability theory and the classification of unstable structures at the level of simplicity and the $\mathrm{NSOP}_{1}$-$\mathrm{SOP}_{3}$ gap. Particularly, we introduce generic expansions $T^{R}$ of…
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…
Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups and consider their associate spaces of almost periodic functions $AP(G)$ and $AP(H)$. We investigate the continuous group homomorphisms induced by isometries of $AP(G)$ into $AP(H)$. Among others,…
We show that for non-conjugate subgroups $G_1$ and $G_2$ of a finite group $G$ there exists an extension of $G$ (by a finite group) in which the pre-images of $G_1$ and $G_2$ are not isomorphic. This allows us to show that $\mathbb Z$-coset…
We are interested in overgroups of the automorphism group of the Rado graph. One class of such overgroups is completely understood; this is the class of reducts. In this article we tie recent work on various other natural overgroups, in…
Let $S$ be either a free group or the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface. We show that if $G$ is a finitely generated residually-$p$ group with the same pro-$p$ completion as $S$, then two-generated subgroups of $G$ are free.…
