We introduce an axiomatization of the notion of a semidirect product of locally compact quantum groups and study properties. Our approach is slightly different from the one introduced in the thesis of S.~Roy and, unlike the investigations…

We introduce an algebraic invariant for aperiodic inclusions of probability measure preserving equivalence relations. We use this invariant to prove that every stable orbit equivalence between free pmp actions of direct products of…

In this paper, we study tensor completions $G \otimes_{\mathcal{N}_{2,R}} R$ of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups $G$ of class $2$ in the quasivariety $\mathcal{N}_{2,R}$ of $R$-exponential 2-nilpotent groups over a binomial…

Let $A$ be the set of elements in an algebraic function field $K$ over ${\mathbb F}_q$ which are integral outside a fixed place $\infty$. Let $G=GL_2(A)$ be a {\it Drinfeld modular group}. The normalizer of $G$ in $GL_2(K)$, where $K$ is…

We provide a general sufficient condition for extendability of quasimorphisms on subgroups. This condition recovers the result of Hull--Osin on quasimorphisms on hyperbolically embedded subgroups, and the proof given in this paper is much…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, denote by $\mathfrak{P}$ the family of topological properties $\mathcal{P}$ of being a convergent sequence or being a compact, sequentially compact, countably compact, pseudocompact and functionally bounded subset…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. Consider the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$ of continuous complex functions on $G$, tending to 0 at infinity. The product in $G$ gives rise to a coproduct $\Delta_G$ on the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$. A locally…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an unramified quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ for a fixed $p>2$. Projective general linear groups $G=\operatorname{PGL}_{2}(\mathbb{K})$ and $H=\operatorname{PGL}_{2}(\mathbb{Q}_{p})$ act transitively on…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $G'$ its commutator subgroup. By a sequence over $G$, we mean a finite unordered sequence of terms from $G$, where repetition is allowed, and we say that it is a product-one sequence if its terms can be ordered…

We present novel constructions concerning the homology of finitely generated groups. Each construction draws on ideas of Gilbert Baumslag. There is a finitely presented acyclic group $U$ such that $U$ has no proper subgroups of finite index…

If $H$ is a lattice in a locally compact second countable group $G$, then we show that $G$ has property A (respectively is coarsely embeddable into Hilbert space) if and only if $H$ has property A (respectively is coarsely embeddable into…

Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…

The problem of describing the group of units $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{Z} G)$ of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ of a finite group $G$ has attracted a lot of attention and providing presentations for such groups is a fundamental problem.…
