We show how to efficiently count and generate uniformly at random finitely generated subgroups of the modular group $\textsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of a given isomorphism type. The method to achieve these results relies on a natural map of…

A topological group $G$ has the Approximate Fixed Point (AFP) property on a bounded convex subset $C$ of a locally convex space if every continuous affine action of $G$ on $C$ admits a net $(x_i)$, $x_i\in C$, such that…

We construct examples of finitely generated groups L that have non-trivial actions on $\mathbb{R}$-trees but which cannot act, without fixing a vertex, on any simplicial tree. Moreover, any finitely presented group mapping onto L does have…

We give a necessary and sufficient smoothness condition for the scheme parameterizing the n-dimensional representations of a finitely generated associative algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular,…

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the…

We establish results concerning the profinite completions of 3-manifold groups. In particular, we prove that the complement of the figure-eight knot $S^3-K$ is distinguished from all other compact 3-manifolds by the set of finite quotients…

We show that, for positive definite kernels, if specific forms of regularity (continuity, Sn-differentiability or holomorphy) hold locally on the diagonal, then they must hold globally on the whole domain of positive-definiteness. This…

It is shown that, given any finite dimensional, split basic algebra $\Lambda = K\Gamma/I$ (where $\Gamma$ is a quiver and $I$ an admissible ideal in the path algebra $K \Gamma$), there is a finite list of affine algebraic varieties, the…

We provide a smoothening criterion for group actions on manifolds by singular diffeomorphisms. We prove that if a countable group $\Gamma$ has the fixed point property FW for walls (e.g. if it has property (T)), every aperiodic action of…

We show that the finiteness length of an $S$-arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ in a noncommutative isotropic absolutely almost simple group $G$ over a global function field is one less than the sum of the local ranks of $G$ taken over the places…

Given a $p$-adic group $G$ equipped with an action of a finite group $\Gamma\subset\mathrm{Aut}_F(\mathbf{G})$, and a reductive fixed-point subgroup $G^\Gamma$, we establish a relationship between constructions of types for these two groups…

If K is a discrete group and Z is a K-spectrum, then the homotopy fixed point spectrum Z^{hK} is Map_*(EK_+, Z)^K, the fixed points of a familiar expression. Similarly, if G is a profinite group and X is a discrete G-spectrum, then X^{hG}…

This article explores the interplay between the finite quotients of finitely generated residually finite groups and the concept of amenability. We construct a finitely generated, residually finite, amenable group $A$ and an uncountable…

We prove that the fixed point iteration of arbitrary positive concave mappings with nonempty fixed point set converges geometrically for any starting point. We also show that positivity is crucial for this result to hold, and the concept of…
