Let F_2 denote the free group of rank 2. Our main technical result of independent interest is: for any element u of F_2, there is g in F_2 such that no cyclically reduced image of u under an automorphism of F_2 contains g as a subword. We…

Can one detect free products of groups via their profinite completions? We answer positively among virtually free groups. More precisely, we prove that a subgroup of a finitely generated virtually free group $G$ is a free factor if and only…

We provide lower estimates on the minimal number of generators of the profinite completion of free products of finite groups. In particular, we show that if C_1,...,C_n are finite cyclic groups then there exists a finite group G which is…

We present an algorithm which takes as input a finite set $X$ of automorphisms of a simplicial tree, and outputs a generating set $X'$ of $\langle X \rangle$ such that either $\langle X \rangle$ is purely hyperbolic and $X'$ is a free basis…

We study a family of $H^m$-conforming piecewise polynomials based on artificial neural network, named as the finite neuron method (FNM), for numerical solution of $2m$-th order partial differential equations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for any $m,d…

This is the fourth and last in a series of four papers (with research announcement posted on this arXiv) that develop a decomposition theory for subgroups of $\text{Out}(F_n)$. In this paper we develop general ping-pong techniques for the…

We introduce the term "protonormal" to refer to a subgroup H of a group G such that for every x in G the subgroups x^{-1}Hx and H commute as sets. If moreover (G,H) is a Hecke pair we show that the Hecke algebra H(G,H) is generated by the…

In a previous paper [1] [MR4101040], we initiated a systematic study of semihypergroups and had a thorough discussion about some important analytic and algebraic objects associated to this class of objects. In this paper, we investigate…

Let $\Bbb P$ be the set of all primes. A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is called {\it $\mathbb P$-subnormal} in $G$, if either $H=G$, or there exists a chain of subgroups $H=H_0\le H_1\le \ldots \le H_n=G, \ |H_{i}:H_{i-1}|\in \Bbb P, \…

For given graph $H$, the independence number $\alpha(H)$ of $H$, is the size of the maximum independent set of $V(H)$. Finding the maximum independent set in a graph is a NP-hard problem. Another version of the independence number is…

An $\mathcal{A}$-semigroup is a numerical semigroup without consecutive small elements. This work generalizes this concept to finite-complement submonoids of an affine cone $\mathcal{C}$. We develop algorithmic procedures to compute all…

The aim of the article is to show that there are many finite extensions of arithmetic groups which are not residually finite. Suppose $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the rational numbers satisfying both strong approximation, and the…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group, and let $\Sigma$ be a finite subset that generates $G$ as a monoid. The \emph{word problem of $G$ with respect to $\Sigma$} consists of all words in the free monoid $\Sigma^{\ast}$ that are equal to…

We give an algorithm to determine finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index in the unit group of an integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ of a finite nilpotent group $G$, this provided the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q} G$…

An independent set in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices, and alpha(G) is the size of a maximum independent set in the graph G. A matching is a set of non-incident edges, while mu(G) is the cardinality of a maximum matching.…

An independent set in a graph $G$ is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. A tree decomposition of $G$ is a pair $(T, \chi)$ where $T$ is a tree and $\chi : V(T) \rightarrow 2^{V(G)}$ is a function satisfying the following two axioms:…

A group $G$ is invariably generated (IG) if there is a subset $S \subseteq G$ such that for every subset $S' \subseteq G$, obtained from $S$ by replacing each element with a conjugate, $S'$ generates $G$. $G$ is finitely invariably…
