Let G be a finitely presented group, and let {G_i} be a collection of finite index normal subgroups that is closed under intersections. Then, we prove that at least one of the following must hold: 1. G_i is an amalgamated free product or…

We study how the spectral gap and diameter of Cayley graphs depend strongly on the choice of generating set. We answer a question of Pyber and Szab\'o (2013) by exhibiting a sequence of finite groups $G_n$ with $|G_n| \to \infty$ admitting…

In this paper we introduce a concept of an evacuation scheme on the Cayley graph of an infinite finitely generated group. This is a collection of infinite simple paths bringing all vertices to infinity. We impose a restriction that every…

Given a group $\Gamma$, we establish a connection between the unitarisability of its uniformly bounded representations and the asymptotic behaviour of the isoperimetric constants of Cayley graphs of $\Gamma$ for increasingly large…

The largest order $n(d,k)$ of a graph of maximum degree $d$ and diameter $k$ cannot exceed the Moore bound, which has the form $M(d,k)=d^k - O(d^{k-1})$ for $d\to\infty$ and any fixed $k$. Known results in finite geometries on generalised…

Consider a model of fire spreading through a graph; initially some vertices are burning, and at every given time-step fire spreads from burning vertices to their neighbours. The firefighter problem is a solitaire game in which a player is…

We introduce a method for analyzing the convex hull of a set in non-positively curved piecewise Euclidean polygonal complexes and we apply this method to prove that, with the usual action of Fm x Zn on the metric product of the Cayley graph…

This paper represents a significant leap forward in the problem of enumerating vertex-transitive graphs. Recent breakthroughs on symmetry of Cayley (di)graphs show that almost all finite Cayley (di)graphs have the smallest possible…

By now, we have a product theorem in every finite simple group $G$ of Lie type, with the strength of the bound depending only in the rank of $G$. Such theorems have numerous consequences: bounds on the diameters of Cayley graphs, spectral…

It is shown that the comment by Costa and Meneses [1] did not point any technical or conceptual flaw in our paper titled ``Conservative Force Fields in Nonextensive Kinetic Theory" (Physica A 316, 289 (2002)). In particular, the application…

We prove the monotonic normalized heat diffusion property on distance-regular graphs with classical parameters of diameter $3$. Regev and Shinkar found a Cayley graph for which this property fails. On the other hand, this property has been…

We study groups acting by length-preserving transformations on spaces equipped with asymmetric, partially-defined distance functions. We introduce a natural notion of quasi-isometry for such spaces and exhibit an extension of the…

This paper explores Iwasawa theory from a graph theoretic perspective, focusing on the algebraic and combinatorial properties of Cayley graphs. Using representation theory, we analyze Iwasawa-theoretic invariants within…

One of the most elementary spreading models on graphs can be described by a fire spreading from a burning vertex in discrete time steps. At each step, all neighbors of burning vertices catch fire. A well-studied extension to model fire…

We disprove a strong form of the Regular Inverse Galois Problem: there exist finite groups $G$ which do not have a realization $F/\Qq(T)$ that induces all Galois extensions $L/\Qq(U)$ of group $G$ by specializing $T$ to $f(U) \in \Qq(U)$.…
