Let $p\ge 5$ be a prime and let $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of a finite symmetric group. To every irreducible character of $P$ we associate a collection of labelled, complete $p$-ary trees. The main results of this article describe Sylow…
In this paper we continue the study of powerfully nilpotent groups. These are powerful $p$-groups possessing a central series of a special kind. To each such group one can attach a powerful nilpotency class that leads naturally to the…
For $d \geq 4$ and $p$ a sufficiently large prime, we construct a lattice $\Gamma \leq {\rm PSp}_{2d}(\mathbb Q_p),$ such that its universal central extension cannot be sofic if $\Gamma$ satisfies some weak form of stability in…
We give an example of a finite rank, in fact aleph-1 categorical theory where the CBP (canonical base property) does not hold. We include a "group-like" example. We also prove, in a finite Morley rank context, if all definable Galois groups…
We give a simple matrix-based proof of congruence equations modulo a prime $p$ involving sums of binomial coefficients appearing in Pascal's triangle. These equations can be used to construct some groups of exponent $p^n$. These groups, as…
We present several constraints on the absolute Galois groups G_F of fields F containing a primitive pth root of unity, using restrictions on the cohomology of index p normal subgroups from a previous paper by three of the authors. We first…
Let p be a prime. We prove that if a finite group G has non-abelian Sylow p-subgroups, and the class size of every p-element in G is coprime to p; then G contains a simple group as a subquotient which exhibits the same property. In addition…
A Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki (GGS-)group is a subgroup of the automorphism group of the $p$-adic tree for an odd prime $p$, generated by one rooted automorphism and one directed automorphism. Pervova proved that all torsion GGS-groups do not…
Firstly, we completely determine the self-similar Hausdorff spectrum of the group of $q$-adic automorphisms where $q$ is a prime power, answering a question of Grigorchuk. Indeed, we take a further step and completely determine its…
We establish universality of the fat Basilica Julia set $J(z^2-\frac34)$ in conformal dynamics in the following sense: $J(z^2-\frac34)$ is quasiconformally equivalent to the fat Basilica Julia set of any polynomial as well as to the limit…
Assuming the existence of a strong cardinal and a measurable cardinal above it, we construct a model of $ZFC$ in which for every singular cardinal $\delta$, $\delta$ is strong limit, $2^\delta=\delta^{+3}$ and the tree property at…
We present several constraints on the absolute Galois groups G_F of fields F containing a primitive pth root of unity, using restrictions on the cohomology of index p normal subgroups from a previous paper by three of the authors. We first…
We prove from suitable large cardinal hypotheses that the least weakly compact cardinal can be unfoldable, weakly measurable and even nearly $\theta$-supercompact, for any desired $\theta$. In addition, we prove several global results…
Let G be a powerful finite p-group. In this note, we give a short elementary proof of the following facts for all $i\ge 0$: (i) $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le p^i$ for odd p, and $\exp \Omega_-i(G)\le 2^{i+1}$ for p = 2; (ii) the index $|G:G^{p^i}|$…
Many open conjectures in the representation theory of finite groups can be studied by reducing them to related questions about quasi-simple groups. In such studies, $p$-radical subgroups typically play a critical role. To classify the…
We obtain many results and solve some problems about feebly compact paratopological groups. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for such a group to be topological. One of them is the quasiregularity. We prove that each…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number. We study growth patterns associated with finitely ramified Galois groups considered over the various number fields varying in a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-tower. These Galois groups can be considered as non-commutative…
We show, using acylindrical hyperbolicity, that a finitely generated group splitting over $\Z$ cannot be simple. We also obtain SQ-universality in most cases, for instance a balanced group (one where if two powers of an infinite order…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $L/K$ a $p$-adic Lie extension whose Galois group is of the form $\mathbb{Z}_p^{d-1}\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_p$. Under certain assumptions on the ramification of $p$ and the structure of an Iwasawa module associated to…
We show that for every finite set of prime numbers S, there are at most finitely many singular moduli that are S-units. The key new ingredient is that for every prime number p, singular moduli are p-adically disperse. We prove analogous…
