We show that the associated Lie algebra of the Malcev $\mathbb{Q}$-completion of the lamplighter group is the pronilpotent completion of the lamplighter Lie algebra. We also prove that the homology of this completed Lie algebra is of…

Recently, Marin and Gonz\'alez-Meneses introduced a class of ``parabolic'' subgroups for generalized braid groups associated to arbitrary complex reflection groups. Using notably Garside group structures on these generalized braid groups,…

In arXiv:0910.1727 we find certain finite homomorphic images of Artin braid group into appropriate symmetric groups, which a posteriori are extensions of the symmetric group on n letters by an abelian group. The main theorem of this paper…

It is proved that any infinite Abelian group of infinite exponent admits a non-discrete reflexive group topology.

We consider the topological complexity of subgroups of Artin's braid group consisting of braids whose associated permutations lie in some specified subgroup of the symmetric group. We give upper and lower bounds for the topological…

We prove the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups: the complexified complement of an affine reflection arrangement is a classifying space. This is a long-standing problem, due to Arnol'd, Pham, and Thom. Our proof is based on…

This is a significant revision of the early version of this paper which was posted last December. The speculative section has been removed in light of some recent results of Morita and Kawazumi. Numerous typos have been fixed. The companion…

We introduce the class of projective reflection groups which includes all complex reflection groups. We show that several aspects involving the combinatorics and the representation theory of all non exceptional irreducible complex…

Polynomial completeness results aim at characterizing those functions that are induced by polynomials. Each polynomial function is congruence preserving, but the opposite need not be true. A finite algebraic structure $\mathbf{A}$ is called…

We attach to every Coxeter system (W,S) an extension C_W of the corresponding Iwahori-Hecke algebra. We construct a 1-parameter family of (generically surjective) morphisms from the group algebra of the corresponding Artin group onto C_W.…

In this paper we construct and study an action of the affine braid group associated to a semi-simple algebraic group on derived categories of coherent sheaves on various varieties related to the Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone. In…

We define pseudo-Garside groups and prove a theorem about them parallel to Garside's result on the word problem for the usual braid groups. The main novelty is that the set of simple elements can be infinite. We introduce a group B=B(Z^n)…

A. Smoktunowicz and L. Vendramin conjectured that if $A$ is a finite skew brace with solvable additive group, then the multiplicative group of $A$ is solvable. In this short note we make a step towards positive solution of this conjecture…

We prove that the quotients of the group algebra of the braid group on 3 strands by a generic quartic and quintic relation respectively, have finite rank. This is a special case of a conjecture by Brou\'{e}, Malle and Rouquier for the…

Rump proved in \cite[Theorem~1]{Rump2018ClassificationOC} that if a finite skew brace has cyclic additive group, then its multiplicative group is solvable and almost Sylow cyclic. In this paper we show that this rigidity persists when the…

We study the representations of the commutator subgroup K_{n} of the braid group B_{n} into a finite group . This is done through a symbolic dynamical system. Some experimental results enable us to compute the number of subgroups of K_{n}…

We find finite presentations for the automorphism group of the Artin pure braid group and the automorphism group of the pure braid group associated to the full monomial group.

Utilizing an embedding theorem of Obraztsov we construct groups as described in the title. This provides an affirmative answer to a problem of D. O. Revin. The constructed groups also provide a negative answer to a question highlighted by…

This paper is a follow-up to our joint paper with I. Agol, P. Storm and K. Whyte "Finiteness of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups". The main purpose is to investigate the effective side of the method developed there and its possible…

We prove that if $(B,+,\cdot)$ is a two-sided skew brace whose additive group is solvable, then every finite quotient of the multiplicative group $(B,\cdot)$ is solvable. In particular, our result recovers Nasybullov's theorem in the finite…
