We show that all residually finite generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups of rank $n \geq 1$, defined on a finite and connected graph, are self-similar. Furthermore we prove that all residually finite fundamental groups of (finite, connected)…
Developed by Buchberger for commutative polynomial rings, Groebner Bases are frequently applied to solve algorithmic problems, such as the congruence problem for ideals. Until now, these ideas have been transmitted to different in part…
The main result of this paper is the decidability of the membership problem for $2\times 2$ nonsingular integer matrices. Namely, we will construct the first algorithm that for any nonsingular $2\times 2$ integer matrices $M_1,\dots,M_n$…
In recent years, we have seen several approaches to the graph isomorphism problem based on "generic" mathematical programming or algebraic (Gr\"obner basis) techniques. For most of these, lower bounds have been established. In fact, it has…
In this paper, we provide a complete theory of Diophantine approximation in the limit set of a group acting on a Gromov hyperbolic metric space. This summarizes and completes a long line of results by many authors, from Patterson's classic…
This paper develops a framework of algebra whereby every Diophantine equation is made quickly accessible by a study of the corresponding row entries in an array of numbers which we call the Newtonian triangles. We then apply this framework…
We study subsets of groups and monoids defined by language-theoretic means, generalizing the classical approach to the word problem. We expand on results by Herbst from 1991 to a more general setting, and for a class of languages…
This work determine the entire family of positive integer solutions of the diophantine equation. The solution is described in terms of $\frac{(m-1)(m+n-2)}{2} $ or $\frac{(m-1)(m+n-1)}{2}$ positive parameters depending on $n$ even or odd.…
We prove that the product of any two infinite countable groups has fixed price one. This resolves a longstanding problem posed by Gaboriau. The proof uses the propagation method to construct a Poisson horoball process as a weak limit of a…
Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…
We express the solutions to quadratic equations with two variables in the ring of integers using EDT0L languages. We use this to show that EDT0L languages can be used to describe the solutions to one-variable equations in the Heisenberg…
We study Diophantine equations of type f(x)=g(y), where both f and g have at least two distinct critical points and equal critical values at at most two distinct critical points. Some classical families of polynomials (f_n)_n are such that…
In this paper we initiate a new approach to studying approximations by rational points to points on smooth submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Our main result is a convergence Khintchine type theorem for arbitrary nondegenerate submanifolds of…
We show that Baumslag-Solitar groups are virtually 2-avoidable, that is, they admit finite index subgroup whose first homology is devoid of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ summand. We also prove virtual 2-avoidability for some other classes of one-relator…
We develop a theory of polymatroids on Stallings core graphs, which provides a new technique for proving lower bounds on stable invariants of words and subgroups in free groups $F$, and for upper bounds on their probability for mapping,…
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:…
Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with kernel $F$ and complement $H$ such that the fixed-point subgroup of $F$ is trivial: $C_G(F)=1$. In this situation various properties of $G$ are shown to be…
We solve the isoclinic Deligne--Simpson problem for exceptional groups, completing a program initiated by Sage et al. and Jakob--Yun. As a by-product, we obtain new examples of physically rigid irregular connections on the projective line.…
The Semialgebraic Orbit Problem is a fundamental reachability question that arises in the analysis of discrete-time linear dynamical systems such as automata, Markov chains, recurrence sequences, and linear while loops. An instance of the…
Let $u_n$ be a fixed non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant, $w$ a fixed non-zero integer and $p_1,p_2,\dots,p_s$ fixed, distinct prime numbers. In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation $u_n+u_m=w…
