We introduce a general unifying framework for the investigation of pointlike sets. The pointlike functors are considered as distinguished elements of a certain lattice of subfunctors of the power semigroup functor; in particular, we exhibit…

In this paper, we investigate the reducibility property of semidirect products of the form $\bf V*\bf D$ relatively to (pointlike) systems of equations of the form $x_1=\cdots=x_n$, where $\bf D$ denotes the pseudovariety of definite…

Let $P \subset \mathbb R^2$ be a point set with cardinality $N$. We give an improved bound for the number of dot products determined by $P$, proving that, \[ |\{ p \cdot q :p,q \in P \}| \gg N^{2/3+c}. \] A crucial ingredient in the proof…

In this paper we study obstructions to presentability by products for finitely generated groups. Along the way we develop both the concept of acentral subgroups, and the relations between presentability by products on the one hand, and…

For any given finite abelian group, we give factorizations of the group determinant in the group algebra of any subgroup. The factorizations are an extension of Dedekind's theorem. The extension leads to a generalization of Dedekind's…

The notion of a generalized product, refining that of a (symmetric and smooth) simplicial space is introduced and shown to imply the existence of an algebra of pseudodifferential operators. This encompasses many constructions of such…

We show that, under fairly general conditions, many elements of a p-adic group can be well approximated by a product whose factors have properties that are helpful in performing explicit character computations.

The finite basis property is often connected with the finite rank property, which it entails. Many examples have been produced of finite rank varieties which are not finitely based. In this note, we establish a result on nilpotent…

If a compact closed category has finite products or finite coproducts then it in fact has finite biproducts, and so is semi-additive.

We prove that in a semi-bounded o-minimal expansion of an ordered group every non-empty open definable set is a finite union of open cells.

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

In this paper we introduce the notion of extension of a numerical semigroup. We provide a characterization of the numerical semigroups whose extensions are all arithmetic and we give an algorithm for the computation of the whole set of…

We prove a discretized Product Theorem for general simple Lie groups, in the spirit of Bourgain's Discretized Sum-Product Theorem.

We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors. Inspired by the classical theory of…

We generalize the classical Tanaka result on the finiteness of symmetry algebra for non-degenerate pseudo-product structures to the case when the completely-integrable distributions defining the pseudo-product structure are no longer…

We extend Gow's theorem on products of semisimple regular conjugacy classes to finite groups whose generalized Fitting subgroup is Z(G)S where S is a quasisimple group of Lie type in characteristic p and Z(G) has order prime to p.

Finite decomposition complexity and asymptotic dimension growth are two generalizations of M. Gromov's asymptotic dimension which can be used to prove property A for large classes of finitely generated groups of infinite asymptotic…

In this paper, we study the residual solvability of the generalized free product of solvable groups.

We study a family of groups consisting of the simplest extensions of lamplighter groups. We use these groups to answer multiple open questions in combinatorial group theory, providing groups that exhibit various combinations of properties:…

We consider metric ultraproducts of finite groups with respect to some classes of length functions. All sofic groups embed into these ultraproducts. We study embeddings of normed groups. We also show that in some natural situations such an…
