Let $G=G_1 \times G_2$ be a finite group. We know that the second cohomology group $H^2(G,\mathbb C^\times)$ is isomorphic to $H^2(G_1,\mathbb C^\times) \times H^2(G_2,\mathbb C^\times) \times Hom(G_1/G_1' \otimes_\mathbb Z G_2/G_2',…

Throughout this Abstract, $G$ is a topological Abelian group and $\hat{G}$ is the space of continuous homomorphisms from $G$ into $T$ in the compact-open topology. A dense subgroup $D$ of $G$ determines $G$ if the (necessarily continuous)…

Let $G$ be an infinite locally compact group and $\aleph$ a cardinal satisfying $\aleph_0\le\aleph\le w(G)$ for the weight $w(G)$ of $G$. It is shown that there is a closed subgroup $N$ of $G$ with $w(N)=\aleph$. Sample consequences are:…

In this paper, we show that if the reduced Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B_{\rho}(G)$ of a second countable locally compact group $G$ has either weak* fixed point property or asymptotic center property, then $G$ is compact. As a result, we…

We prove that amenability of a unitary co-representation $U$ of a locally compact quantum group passes to unitary co-representations that weakly contain $U$. This generalizes a result of Bekka, and answers affirmatively a question of…

The paper investigates two invariants for totally disconnected locally compact groups: the number of ends and the rational discrete cohomological dimension. For such a compactly generated group $G$ it is shown that its number of ends can be…

Let $G$ be a dp-minimal group; we prove some consequences of several different hypotheses on $G$. First, if $G$ is torsion-free, then it is abelian. Second, if $G$ admits a distal f-generic type, then it is virtually nilpotent; we prove…

A subset $S$ of a topological gyrogroup $G$ is said to be a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S$ is discrete, the gyrogroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, and $S\cup \{0\}$ is closed in $G$, where $0$ is the identity element of $G$. In this…

A locally compact group $G$ is compact if and only if $L^1(G)$ is an ideal in $L^1(G)^{**}$, and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$ is an ideal in $A(G)^{**}$ if and only if $G$ is discrete. On the other hand, $G$ is discrete if and only if…

Rational discrete cohomology and homology for a totally disconnected locally compact group $G$ is introduced and studied. The $\mathrm{Hom}$-$\otimes$ identities associated to the rational discrete bimodule $\mathrm{Bi}(G)$ allow to…

Let G be a split, simple, simply connected, algebraic group over Q. The degree 4, weight 2 motivic cohomology group of the classifying space BG of G is identified with Z. We construct cocycles representing the generator of this group, known…

We introduce the first examples of groups $G$ with infinite center which in a natural sense are completely recognizable from their von Neumann algebras, $\mathcal{L}(G)$. Specifically, assume that $G=A\times W$, where $A$ is an infinite…

Let $(R,\fm)$ be a local ring and $C$ be a homologically bounded and finitely generated $R$-complex. Then, we prove that $C$ is a dualizing complex of $R$ if and only if $C$ is a Cohen-Macaulay semidualizing complex of type one or…

We show that the modular isomorphism problem has a positive answer for groups of nilpotency class 2 with cyclic center, i.e. that for such p-groups G and H an isomorphism between the group algebras FG and FH implies an isomorphism of the…

Let $G$ be a periodic group, and let $LCM(G)$ be the set of all $x\in G$ such that $o(x^nz)$ divides the least common multiple of $o(x^n)$ and $o(z)$ for all $z$ in $G$ and all integers $n$. In this paper, we prove that the subgroup…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with corresponding Frobenius $F$. Let $\iota_G$ denote the duality involution defined by D. Prasad under the hypothesis $2\mathrm{H}^1(F,Z(G))=0$, where…

A locally compact groupoid is said to have the weak containment property if its full $C^*$-algebra coincides with its reduced one. This property is strictly weaker than amenability and is known to be equivalent to amenability for…

We prove that two countable locally finite-by-abelian groups G,H endowed with proper left-invariant metrics are coarsely equivalent if and only if their asymptotic dimensions coincide and the groups are either both finitely-generated or…

Let $G$ be a locally compact topological group, $G_0$ the connected component of its identity element, and comp(G) the union of all compact subgroups. A topological group will be called inductively monothetic if any subgroup generated (as a…
