We characterise when a rank $n$ generalised Baumslag-Solitar group is CAT(0) and when it is biautomatic.

We study the properties of the uncountable set of Stewart words. These are Toeplitz words specified by infinite sequences of Toeplitz patterns of the form $\alpha\beta\gamma$, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ is any permutation of the symbols…

We study sources of isomorphisms of additive cellular automata on finite groups (called index-group). It is shown that many isomorphisms (called regular) of automata are reducible to the isomorphisms of underlying algebraic structures (such…

In this paper we introduce the concept of a Cayley graph automatic group (CGA group or graph automatic group, for short) which generalizes the standard notion of an automatic group. Like the usual automatic groups graph automatic ones enjoy…

Elder, Kambites, and Ostheimer showed that if the word problem of a finitely generated group $H$ is accepted by a $G$-automaton for an abelian group $G$, then $H$ is virtually abelian. We give a new, elementary, and purely combinatorial…

The set of synchronizing words of a given $n$-state automaton forms a regular language recognizable by an automaton with $2^n - n$ states. The size of a recognizing automaton for the set of synchronizing words is linked to computational…

In the paper, we deal with the notion of an automaton over a changing alphabet, which generalizes the concept of a Mealy-type automaton. We modify the methods based on the idea of a dual automaton and its action used by B. Steinberg et al.…

The Hochschild homology and cohomology group can be described in terms of the homology and cohomology of the classifying space of the groupoid of the adjoint action of the group under the suitable assumption of the finiteness of the…

We develop an effective and natural approach to interpret any semigroup admitting a special language of greedy normal forms as an automaton semigroup,namely the semigroup generated by a Mealy automaton encoding the behaviour of such a…

The purpose of this note is make Theorem 13 in the article "On Biautomaticity of Non-Homogenous Small-Cancellation Groups" more accessible. Restatements of the theorem already appeared in few of the authors' succeeding works but with no…

Following the research from the paper "Triangles, squares and geodesics" (arXiv:0910.5688) of Rena Levitt and Jon McCammond we investigate the properties of groups acting on CAT(0) triangle-square complexes, focusing mostly on…

Automata expressiveness is an essential feature in understanding which of the formalisms available should be chosen for modelling a particular problem. Probabilistic and stochastic automata are suitable for modelling systems exhibiting…

Recent algorithmic advances in algebraic automata theory drew attention to semigroupoids (semicategories). These are mathematical descriptions of typed computational processes, but they have not been studied systematically in the context of…

We explore language semantics for automata combining probabilistic and nondeterministic behavior. We first show that there are precisely two natural semantics for probabilistic automata with nondeterminism. For both choices, we show that…

A central question in the theory of automata is which classes of automata can be minimized in polynomial time. We close the remaining gaps for deterministic and history-deterministic automata over infinite words by proving that…
