We prove that every finitely generated group with recursive aspherical presentation embeds into a group with finite aspherical presentation. This and several known facts about groups and manifolds imply that there exists a 4-dimensional…

We compare the notions of essential dimension and stable cohomological dimension of a finite group G, prove that the latter is bounded by the length of any normal series with cyclic quotients for G, and show that, however, this bound is not…

We introduce asymptotic-M\"obius (AM) maps, a large-scale analogue of quasi-M\"obius maps tailored to geometric group theory. AM-maps capture coarse cross-ratio behavior for configurations of points that lie far apart, providing a notion of…

The girth of a finitely generated group G is the supremum of the girth of Cayley graphs for G over all finite generating sets. Let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the mapping class group Mod(S), where S is a compact orientable…

We introduce the notion of large scale inductive dimension for asymptotic resemblance spaces. We prove that the large scale inductive dimension and the asymptotic dimensiongrad are equal in the class of r-convex metric spaces. This class…

The extended mapping class group of a surface $\Sigma$ is defined to be the group of isotopy classes of (not necessarily orientation-preserving) homeomorphisms of $\Sigma$. We are able to show that the extended mapping class group of an…

We provide an example of a non-finitely generated group which admits a nonempty strongly aperiodic SFT. Furthermore, we completely characterize the groups with this property in terms of their finitely generated subgroups and the roots of…

We construct a finitely presented group with infinitely many non-homeomorphic asymptotic cones. We also show that the existence of cut points in asymptotic cones of finitely presented groups does, in general, depend on the choice of scaling…

We study stable commutator length on mapping class groups of certain infinite-type surfaces. In particular, we show that stable commutator length defines a continuous function on the commutator subgroups of such infinite-type mapping class…

We investigate the topological properties of invariant sets associated with the dynamics of scattering systems with three or more degrees of freedom. We show that the asymptotic separation of one degree of freedom from the rest in the…

We study the large scale geometry of the upper triangular subgroup of PSL(2,Z[1/n]), which arises naturally in a geometric context. We prove a quasi-isometry classification theorem and show that these groups are quasi-isometrically rigid…

In this note, we study non-transitive graphs and prove a number of results when they satisfy a coarse version of transitivity. Also, for each finitely generated group $G$, we produce continuum many pairwise non-quasi-isometric regular…

In this paper we study random representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into special unitary groups. The random model we use is based on a symplectic form on moduli space due to Atiyah, Bott, and Goldman. Let $\Sigma_{g}$ denote a…

We give a finite presentation of the mapping class group of an oriented (possibly bounded) surface of genus greater or equal than 1, considering Dehn twists on a very simple set of curves.

For $\Sigma$ an orientable surface of finite topological type having genus at least 3 (possibly closed or possibly with any number of punctures or boundary components), we show that the mapping class group $Mod(\Sigma)$ has no faithful…

Given a bi-invariant metric on a group, we construct a version of an asymptotic cone without using ultrafilters. The new construction, called the directional asymptotic cone, is a contractible topological group equipped with a complete…

Consider a connected orientable surface $S$ of infinite topological type, i.e. with infinitely-generated fundamental group. We describe the large-scale geometry of arbitrary connected subgraphs of the arc complex $A(S)$ and curve complex…

In this paper structure of infinite dimensional Banach spaces is studied by using an asymptotic approach based on stabilization at infinity of finite dimensional subspaces which appear everywhere far away. This leads to notions of…

Let X be a Hadamard manifold and $\Gamma$ a discrete group of isometries of X which contains an axial isometry without invariant flat half plane. We study the behavior of conformal densities on the geometric limit set of $\Gamma$ in order…

The asymptotic dimension of metric spaces is an important notion in geometric group theory introduced by Gromov. The metric spaces considered in this paper are the ones whose underlying spaces are the vertex-sets of graphs and whose metrics…
