The main result of this paper is a construction of finitely additive measures for higher rank abelian actions on Heisenberg nilmanifolds. Under a full measure set of Diophantine conditions for the generators of the action, we construct…

Let $X_k$ denote the number of $k$-term arithmetic progressions in a random subset of $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ or $\{1, \dots, N\}$ where every element is included independently with probability $p$. We determine the asymptotics of $\log…

One of the purposes of this paper is to prove that if G is a noncompact connected semisimple Lie group of real rank one with finite center, then L^{2,1}(G)\ast L^{2,1}({G})\subseteq L^{2,\infty}({G}). Let {K} be a maximal compact subgroup…

For a finitely generated lawless group $\Gamma$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma} (n)$ be the minimal positive integer $M_n$ such that for all nontrivial reduced words $w$ of length at most $n$ in the free group of fixed…

We establish upper bounds on the lengths of minimal conjugators in 2-step nilpotent groups. These bounds exploit the existence of small integral solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations. We prove that in some cases these bounds…

In group sequential analysis, data is collected and analyzed in batches until pre-defined stopping criteria are met. Inference in the parametric setup typically relies on the limiting asymptotic multivariate normality of the repeatedly…

We give an algorithm that decides whether a single equation in a group that is virtually a class $2$ nilpotent group with a virtually cyclic commutator subgroup, such as the Heisenberg group, admits a solution. This generalises the work of…

Ellenberg and Gijswijt gave recently a new exponential upper bound for the size of three-term arithmetic progression free sets in $({\mathbb Z_p})^n$, where $p$ is a prime. Petrov summarized their method and generalized their result to…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The small Davenport constant $\mathsf d(G)$ of $G$ is the maximal integer $\ell$ such that there is a sequence of length $\ell$ over $G$ which has no nonempty product-one subsequence. In 2007, Bass conjectured…

A maximal abelian normal subgroup A in a nilpotent group N is self-centralizing. This makes their role an important one in determining the structure of the nilpotent group. For example if A is finite then N is also finite. In the free…

We develop a method to show that some (abstract) groups can be embedded into a free pro-$p$ group. In particular, we show that a finitely generated subgroup of a free $\mathbb Q$-group can be embedded into a free pro-$p$ group for almost…

the main theorem gives a sufficient condition for a n elements of SL(2,R) to generate a free group.The idea behind it is to use a nonorientable version of the Dehn-Wolpert-Goldman twist and to sew it with the original representation of a…

In this paper, we study tensor completions $G \otimes_{\mathcal{N}_{2,R}} R$ of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups $G$ of class $2$ in the quasivariety $\mathcal{N}_{2,R}$ of $R$-exponential 2-nilpotent groups over a binomial…

We derive a lower and an upper bound for the rank of the finite part of operator $K$-theory groups of maximal and reduced $C^*$-algebras of finitely generated groups. The lower bound is based on the amount of polynomially growing conjugacy…

We define a class $\mathcal{U}$ of solvable groups of finite abelian section rank which includes all such groups that are virtually torsion-free as well as those that are finitely generated. Assume that $G$ is a group in $\mathcal{U}$ and…

Motivated by a classic result for free groups, one says that a group $G$ has the Magnus property if the following holds: whenever two elements generate the same normal subgroup of $G$, they are conjugate or inverse-conjugate in $G$. It is a…

In [K. Bou-Rabee, B. Seward, J. Reine Angwe. Math. 2016] Bou-Rabee and Seward constructed examples of finitely generated residually finite groups $G$ whose residual finiteness growth function $\mathcal{F}_G$ can be at least as fast as any…

In this paper, we compute an upper bound for the Dehn function of a finitely presented metabelian group. In addition, we prove that the same upper bound works for the relative Dehn function of a finitely generated metabelian group. We also…

We describe an algorithm for deciding whether or not a given finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group is decomposable as the direct product of nontrivial subgroups.

Let $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety. Assume that the (topological) fundamental group $\pi_1(X, x)$ is torsion-free nilpotent. We show that if the first Betti number $b_1(X) \le 3$, then $\pi_1(X, x)$ is isomorphic to either…
