In these notes we will survey recent results on various finitary approximation properties of infinite groups. We will discuss various restrictions on groups that are approximated for example by finite solvable groups or finite-dimensional…
We show that any isometric action of a residually finite group admits approximate local finite models. As a consequence, if $G$ is residually finite, every isometric $G$-action embeds isometrically into a metric ultraproduct of finite…
We analyse the limiting behavior of the eigenvalue and singular value distribution for random convolution operators on large (not necessarily Abelian) groups, extending the results by M. Meckes for the Abelian case. We show that for regular…
We know that any finite abelian group $G$ appears as a subgroup of infinitely many multiplicative groups $\mathbb{Z}_n^\times$ (the abelian groups of size $\phi(n)$ that are the multiplicative groups of units in the rings…
We observe that for a large class of non-amenable groups $G$, one can find bounded representations of $A(G)$ on Hilbert space which are not completely bounded. We also consider restriction algebras obtained from $A(G)$, equipped with the…
We carry out a study of groups $G$ in which the index of any infinite subgroup is finite. We call them restricted-finite groups and characterize finitely generated not torsion restricted-finite groups. We show that every infinite…
The residual finiteness growth of a group quantifies how well approximated the group is by its finite quotients. In this paper, we construct groups with arbitrarily large residual finiteness growth. We also demonstrate a new relationship…
We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…
Groups that can be approximated by finite groups have been the center of much research. This has led to the investigations of the subgroups of metric ultraproducts of finite groups. This paper attempts to study the dual problem: what are…
A set of quasi-uniform random variables $X_1,...,X_n$ may be generated from a finite group $G$ and $n$ of its subgroups, with the corresponding entropic vector depending on the subgroup structure of $G$. It is known that the set of entropic…
The functions $F_{G}(n)$ measures the asymptotic behavior of residual finiteness for a finitely generated group $G$. In previous work \cite{Pengitore_1}, the author claimed a characterization for $F_{N}(n)$ when $N$ is a finitely generated…
A finite sampling theory associated with a unitary representation of a finite non Abelian group $\mathbf{G}$ on a Hilbert space is stablished. The non Abelian group $\mathbf{G}$ is a knit product $\mathbf{N}\bowtie \mathbf{H}$ of two finite…
In this paper we introduce for a group $G$ the notion of ultralimit of measure class preserving actions of it, and show that its Furstenberg-Poisson boundaries can be obtained as an ultralimit of actions on itself, when equipped with…
In order to study how well a finite group might be generated by repeated random multiplications, P. Diaconis suggested the following urn model. An urn contains some balls labeled by elements which generate a group G. Two are drawn at random…
This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of random abelian G-circulant matrices, that is, matrices whose structure is related to a finite abelian group G in a way that naturally generalizes the relationship between…
We prove that for a metric space $X$ and a finite group $G$ acting on $X$ by isometries, if $X$ coarsely embeds into a Hilbert space, then so does the quotient $X/G$. A crucial step towards our main result is to show that for any integer $k…
We show that there is no algorithm deciding whether the maximal residually free quotient of a given finitely presented group is finitely presentable or not. Given a finitely generated subgroup G of a finite product of limit groups, we…
We show that just infinite quotients of finitely generated subgroups of Richard Thompson's group F are virtually abelian, answering a question of Grigorchuk. We show the same holds for the group of piecewise linear orientation preserving…
We introduce and systematically study a profile function whose asymptotic behavior quantifies the dimension or the size of a metric approximation of a finitely generated group $G$ by a family of groups $\mathcal{F}=\{(G_{\alpha},…
We study the Brown measure of certain non-hermitian operators arising from Voiculescu's free probability theory. Usually those operators appear as the limit in *-moments of certain ensembles of non-hermitian random matrices, and the Brown…
