The quasi-redirecting (QR) boundary, introduced by Qing and Rafi, generalizes the Gromov boundary for studying the large-scale geometry of finitely generated groups. Although it is not known to exist for all such groups, its existence has…
We construct an exemple of a full factor $M$ such that its canonical outer modular flow $\sigma^M : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{Out}(M)$ is almost periodic but $M$ has no almost periodic state. This can only happen if the discrete…
We exhibit a topological group $G$ with property (T) acting non-elementarily and continuously on the circle. This group is an uncountable totally disconnected closed subgroup of $\operatorname{Homeo}^+(\mathbf{S}^1)$. It has a large unitary…
A group $G$ is said to satisfy the finitely generated intersection property (f.g.i.p.) if the intersection of any two finitely generated subgroups of $G$ is again finitely generated. The aim of this article is to understand when the…
In this article, we prove that the fundamental group $\pi_1(M)$ of a complete open manifold $M$ with nonnegative Ricci curvature is finitely generated, under the condition that the Riemannian universal cover $\tilde M$ satisfies an "almost…
We show that the fundamental groups of any two closed irreducible non-geometric graph-manifolds are quasi-isometric. This answers a question of Kapovich and Leeb. We also classify the quasi-isometry types of fundamental groups of…
In recent years, there has been a considerable amount of interest in the stability of a finitely-generated group $\Gamma$ with respect to a sequence of groups $\left\{G_{n}\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$, equipped with bi-invariant metrics…
The article is devoted to the question whether the orbit space of a compact linear group is a topological manifold and a homological manifold. In the paper, the case of a simple three-dimensional group is considered. An upper bound is…
This paper presents an investigation of the relation between some positivity of the curvature and the finiteness of fundamental groups in semi-Riemannian geometry. We consider semi-Riemannian submersions $\pi : (E, g) \rightarrow (B,…
In this note we establish the existence of all Curtis-Tits groups and Phan groups with $3$-spherical diagram as classified previously and investigate some of their geometric and group theoretic properties. Whereas it is known that…
Let $\mathbf{K}$ be the class of countable structures $M$ with the strong small index property and locally finite algebraicity, and $\mathbf{K}_*$ the class of $M \in \mathbf{K}$ such that $acl_M(\{ a \}) = \{ a \}$ for every $a \in M$. For…
We have shown recently that, given a metric space $X$, the coarse equivalence classes of metrics on the two copies of $X$ form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$. Here we study the property of idempotents in $M(X)$ of being finite or infinite,…
We formulate a definition of isometric action of a compact quantum group (CQG) on a compact metric space, generalizing Banica's definition for finite metric spaces. For metric spaces $(X,d)$ which can be isometrically embedded in some…
A representation of a finitely generated group into the projective general linear group is called convex co-compact if it has finite kernel and its image acts convex co-compactly on a properly convex domain in real projective space. We…
Taking residual finiteness as a starting point, we consider three related finiteness properties: weak subsemigroup separability, strong subsemigroup separability and complete separability. We investigate whether each of these properties is…
Let G be any finitely generated infinite group. Denote by K(G) the FC-centre of G, i.e., the subgroup of all elements of G whose centralizers are of finite index in G. Let QI(G) denote the group of quasi-isometries of G with respect to word…
In \cite{Kramer11} Kramer proves for a large class of semisimple Lie groups that they admit just one locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff topology compatible with the group operations. We present two different methods of generalising…
We prove a general theorem for constructing integral quantum cluster algebras over ${\mathbb{Z}}[q^{\pm 1/2}]$, namely that under mild conditions the integral forms of quantum nilpotent algebras always possess integral quantum cluster…
Let $$1 \to H \to G \to Q \to 1$$ be an exact sequence where $H= \pi_1(S)$ is the fundamental group of a closed surface $S$ of genus greater than one, $G$ is hyperbolic and $Q$ is finitely generated free. The aim of this paper is to provide…
The semidirect product $\mathbb{G}=\mathbb{L}\rtimes \mathbb{K}$ attached to a compact-group action on a connected, simply-connected solvable Lie group has a dense set of compact elements precisely when the $s\in \mathbb{K}$ operating on…
