Related papers: An answer to the Whitehead asphericity question

This paper will be concerned with proving that certain Whitehead groups of torsion-free elementary amenable groups are torsion groups and related results, and then applying these results to the Bass conjecture. In particular we shall…

We study the way in which the abstract structure of a small overlap monoid is reflected in, and may be algorithmically deduced from, a small overlap presentation. We show that every C(2) monoid admits an essentially canonical C(2)…

The classical beltway problem entails recovering a set of points from their unordered pairwise distances on the circle. This problem can be viewed as a special case of the crystallographic phase retrieval problem of recovering a sparse…

This paper is divided into two parts. The first is a review, through categorical lenses, of the classical theory of regular-singular differential systems over $C((x))$ and $\mathbb P^1_C\smallsetminus\{0,\infty\}$, where $C$ is…

We present a new test for studying asphericity and diagrammatic reducibility of group presentations. Our test can be applied to prove diagrammatic reducibility in cases where the classical weight test fails. We use this criterion to…

This paper provides a general characterization of preferences that admit a Richter-Peleg representation without imposing completeness or transitivity. We establish that a binary relation on a nonempty set admits a Richter-Peleg…

G. Prasad and A. Rapinchuk asked if two quaternion division F -algebras that have the same subfields are necessarily isomorphic. The answer is known to be "no" for some very large fields. We prove that the answer is "yes" if F is an…

We prove that every finite group is the automorphism group of a finite abstract polytope isomorphic to a face-to-face tessellation of a sphere by topological copies of convex polytopes. We also show that this abstract polytope may be…

Let F be the function field of a curve over a p-adic field. Let D/F be a central division algebra of prime exponent $\ell$ which is different from p. Assume that F contains a primitive ${\ell}^2$-th root of unity. Then the group…

We present a concise proof for the supporting hyperplane theorem. We then observe that the proof not only establishes the supporting hyperplane theorem but also extends it to a hyperplane separation theorem for certain non-convex sets. The…

A group-category is an additively semisimple category with a monoidal product structure in which the simple objects are invertible. For example in the category of representations of a group, 1-dimensional representations are the invertible…

A query, about the orbit $P{\cal W}$ in real 3-space of a point $P$ under an isometry group ${\cal W}$ generated by edge rotations of a tetrahedron, leads to contrasting notions, ${\cal W}$ versus ${\cal S}$, of "rotation group". The set R…

This article shows that the Cremona group is compactly presentable. To prove this we show that it is a generalised amalgamated product of three of its algebraic subgroups (automorphisms of the plane and Hirzebruch surfaces) divided by one…

An equivalence relation in the symmetric group, where is a positive integer has been considered. An algorithm for calculation of the number of the equivalence classes by this relation for arbitrary integer has been described.

We examine Deligne's classical proof of the asphericity of simplicial arrangements from the viewpoint of the combinatorics of the poset of regions of the arrangement. This turns out to be very natural. In particular, we show that an…

We give a uniform construction that, on input of a recursive presentation $P$ of a group, outputs a recursive presentation of a torsion-free group, isomorphic to $P$ whenever $P$ is itself torsion-free. We use this to re-obtain a known…

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

We introduce a combinatorial characterization of simpliciality for arrangements of hyperplanes. We then give a sharp upper bound for the number of hyperplanes of such an arrangement in the projective plane over a finite field, and present…

Let $G$ be a complex reductive group and $H=G^{\theta}$ be its fixed point subgroup under a Galois involution $\theta$. We show that any $H$-distinguished representation $\pi$ (i.e $\mathrm{dim}_{\mathbb{C}}\left(\pi^{*}\right)^{H}\neq0$)…

Different commutative semigroups may have a common saturation. We consider distinguishing semigroups with a common saturation based on their ``sparsity''. We propose to qualitatively describe sparsity of a semigroup by considering which…
