An auxiliary free construction $*_{i=1}^{r}(K_i, L_i, t_i)_M$ based on HNN-extensions and on generalized free product of groups with amalgamated subgroups is suggested, and some of its basic properties are displayed. The proposed…

We construct HNN-extensions of Lie di-algebras in the variety of di-algebras and provide a presentation for the replicated HNN-extension of a Lie di-algebras. Then, by applying the method of Gr\"obner-Shirshov bases for replicated algebras,…

We study the class of finite groups $G$ satisfying $\Phi (G/N)= \Phi(G)N/N$ for all normal subgroups $N$ of $G$. As a consequence of our main results we extend and amplify a theorem of Doerk concerning this class from the soluble universe…

If $G$ and $H$ are finitely generated residually nilpotent groups, then $G$ and $H$ are in the same nilpotent genus if they have the same lower central quotients (up to isomorphism). A stronger condition is that $H$ is para-$G$ if there…

In this paper we compute extension groups in the category of strict polynomial superfunctors and thereby exhibit certain "universal extension classes" for the general linear supergroup. Some of these classes restrict to the universal…

For various nonsolvable groups $G$, we prove the existence of extensions of the rationals $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois group $G$ and inertia groups of order dividing $ge(G)$, where $ge(G)$ is the smallest exponent of a generating set for $G$.…

We prove a Tits alternative for topological full groups of minimal actions of finitely generated groups. On the one hand, we show that topological full groups of minimal actions of virtually cyclic groups are amenable. By doing so, we…

We show that there exist finitely generated soluble groups which are not LERF but which do not contain strictly ascending HNN extensions of a cyclic group. This solves Problem 16.2 in the Kourovka notebook. We further show that there is a…

The aim of the article is to study the extension theory of gyrogroups under certain conditions. Consequently, we see that there is an equivalence between the category GEXT of group-gyro extensions and the category GFAC of group-gyro factor…

We show that any partial ascending HNN extension of a free group embeds in an actual ascending HNN extension of a free group. Moreover, we can ensure that it embeds as the parabolic subgroup of a relatively hyperbolic group.

Given a finitely generated linear group $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, we construct a simple group $\Gamma$ that has the same finiteness properties as $G$ and admits $G$ as a quasi-retract. As an application, we construct a simple group of type…

For every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, we construct a variety of Heyting algebras, whose $n$-generated free algebra is finite but whose $(n+1)$-generated free algebra is infinite.

Let C be a connected noetherian hereditary abelian Ext-finite category with Serre functor over an algebraically closed field k, with finite dimensional homomorphism and extension spaces. Using the classification of such categories from…

Let $H$ be an extension of a finite group $Q$ by a finite group $G$. Inspired by the results of duality theorems for \'etale gerbes on orbifolds, we describe the number of conjugacy classes of $H$ that maps to the same conjugacy class of…

We construct extended Weil representations of unitary groups over finite fields geometrically, and show that they are Shintani lifts for Weil representations.

We prove for a large class of fields $F$ that every proper finite extension of $F_{pyth}$, the pythagorean closure of $F$, is not a pythagorean field. This class of fields contains number fields and fields $F$ that are finitely generated of…

For all sufficiently large odd integers $n$, the following version of Higman's embedding theorem is proved in the variety ${\cal B}_n$ of all groups satisfying the identity $x^n=1$. A finitely generated group $G$ from ${\cal B}_n$ has a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group acting properly discontinuously by isometries on a visibility CAT(0) space $X$ that satisfies the bounded packing property. We prove that $\Gamma$ satisfies the Tits alternative: it is either…

We prove that a limit group over Thompson's group $F$ cannot be an HNN-extension of $F$ with respect to a finitely generated subgroup. On the other hand we give an example of an $F$-limit group which is a centralized HNN-extenstions of $F$.…

We give an example of a finitely presented simple group containing a finitely generated subgroup which is not finitely presented.
