In this note we introduce pro-Hall $R$-groups as inverse limits of Hall $R$-groups and show that for the binomial closure $S^{bin}$ of any ring $S$ discriminated by $\mathbb{Z}_p$, the free pro-Hall $S^{bin}$-group $\mathbb{F}(A,S^{bin})$…

We define and study a pro-$p$ version of Sidki's weak commutativity construction. This is the pro-$p$ group $\mathfrak{X}_p(G)$ generated by two copies $G$ and $G^{\psi}$ of a pro-$p$ group, subject to the defining relators $[g,g^{\psi}]$…

Let $p$ be a prime. We prove that certain amalgamated free pro-$p$ products of Demushkin groups with pro-$p$-cyclic amalgam cannot give rise to a 1-cyclotomic oriented pro-$p$ group, and thus do not occur as maximal pro-$p$ Galois groups of…

We give a class of finite subgroups $G<SL(n, k)$ for which the skew-group algebra $k[x_1,\ldots, x_n]\#G$ does not admit the grading structure of a higher preprojective algebra. Namely, we prove that if a finite group $G<SL(n, k)$ is…

The main theorem of Galois theory states that there are no finite group-subgroup pairs with the same invariants. On the other hand, if we consider complex linear reductive groups instead of finite groups, the analogous statement is no…

The structure of finite and locally finite groups in which every element has prime power order (CP-groups) is well known. In this paper we note that the combination of our earlier results with the available information on the structure of…

We prove a Kurosh type theorem for free-product type II_1 factors. In particular, if M = LF_2 \otimes R, then the free-product type II_1 factors M*...*M are all prime and pairwise non-isomorphic. This paper is a continuation of [N. Ozawa,…

The celebrated Stallings' decomposition theorem states that the splitting of a finite index subgroup $H$ of a finitely generated group $G$ as an amalgamated free product or an HNN-extension over a finite group implies the same for $G$. We…

For a subgroup of a free product of finite groups, we obtain necessary conditions (on its Kurosh decomposition) to be verbally closed.

We prove that a free profinite (pro-$p$) product over a set converging to 1 of countably many Demushkin groups of rank $\aleph_0$, $G_i$, that can be realized as absolute Galois groups, is isomorphic to an absolute Galois group if and only…

We establish that finitely generated non-abelian direct products $G$ of free pro-$p$ groups have full Hausdorff spectrum with respect to the lower $p$-series $\mathcal{L}$. This complements similar results with respect to other standard…

We show that all GGS-groups with non-constant defining vector satisfy the congruence subgroup property. This provides, for every odd prime $p$, many examples of finitely generated, residually finite, non-torsion groups whose profinite…

The Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for a group G states that a compact spin manifold with fundamental group G admits a metric of positive scalar curvature if and only if a certain topological obstruction vanishes. It is known to be true…

The goal of this paper is to obtain restrictions on the prime to p quotient of the \'etale fundamental group of a smooth projective variety in characteristic $p\ge 0$. The results are analogues some theorems in the study of K\"ahler groups.…

It is well known that the category of covering projections (that is, locally constant objects) of a locally connected topos is equivalent to the classifying topos of a strict progroupoid (or, equivalently, a localic prodiscrete groupoid),…

Let $p$ be a prime. We show that if a pro-$p$ group with at most 2 defining relations has quadratic $\mathbb{F}_p$-cohomology, then such algebra is universally Koszul. This proves the "Universal Koszulity Conjecture" formulated by J.…

Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. In this article we show an analogue for Morozov theorem for characteristics that are separably good for G (and under additional hypotheses on the…

For a prime number $p$, we give a new restriction on pro-$p$ groups $G$ which are realizable as the maximal pro-$p$ Galois group $G_F(p)$ for a field $F$ containing a root of unity of order $p$. This restriction arises from Kummer Theory…

We consider the question whether a Sylow like theorem is valid in the normalized units of integral group rings of finite groups. After a short survey on the known results we show that this is the case for integral group rings of Frobenius…

For a commutative, unital and integral quantale V, we generalize to V-groups the results developed by Gran and Michel for preordered groups. We first of all show that, in the category V-Grp of V-groups, there exists a torsion theory whose…
