If A is a finite dimensional nilpotent associative algebra over a finite field k, the set G=1+A of all formal expressions of the form 1+a, where a is an element of A, has a natural group structure, given by (1+a)(1+b)=1+(a+b+ab). A finite…
We prove that Thompson's group $F$ has a subgroup $H$ such that the conjugacy problem in $H$ is undecidable and the membership problem in $H$ is easily decidable. The subgroup $H$ of $F$ is a closed subgroup of $F$. That is, every function…
In a previous paper, we defined a higher dimensional analog of Thompson's group V, and proved that it is simple, infinite, finitely generated, and not isomorphic to any of the known Thompson groups. There are other Thompson groups that are…
Let $f:G\rightarrow H$ be a homomorphism of groups, we construct a topological space $X_f$ such that its group of homeomorphisms is isomorphic to $G$, its group of homotopy classes of self-homotopy equivalences is isomorphic to $H$ and the…
Classes of algebraic structures that are defined by equational laws are called varieties or equational classes. A variety is finitely generated if it is defined by the laws that hold in some fixed finite algebra. We show that every…
It is known that a group G definable in the field of p-adic numbers is definably locally isomorphic to the group of Q_p-points of a connected algebraic group H defined over Q_p. We show that if H is commutative then G is…
We construct the first examples of infinite sharply 2-transitive groups which are finitely generated. Moreover, we construct such a group that has Kazhdan property (T), is simple, has exactly four conjugacy classes, and we show that this…
We give an example of a finitely presented group $G$ with two non-$\pi_1$-equivalent asymptotic cones.
We show that every non-decreasing function $f\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ bounded from above by $a^n$ for some $a\ge 1$ can be realized (up to a natural equivalence) as the conjugacy growth function of a finitely generated group. We also…
We study the class of densely related groups. These are finitely generated (or more generally, compactly generated locally compact) groups satisfying a strong negation of being finitely presented, in the sense that new relations appear at…
Assume that $G$ is a finite group. For every $a, b \in\mathbb N,$ we define a graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and $(y_1,\dots,y_b)$ are adjacent if…
We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…
We show that an infinite finitely generated group G is virtually-Z if and only if every Cayley graph of G contains only finitely many Busemann points in its horofunction boundary. This complements a previous result of the second named…
Let $G$ be the linear algebraic group $SL_3$ over a field $k$ of characteristic two. Let $A$ be a finitely generated commutative $k$-algebra on which $G$ acts rationally by $k$-algebra automorphisms. We show that the full cohomology ring…
We provide an example of a non-finitely generated group which admits a nonempty strongly aperiodic SFT. Furthermore, we completely characterize the groups with this property in terms of their finitely generated subgroups and the roots of…
We continue the analysis of definably compact groups definable in a real closed field $\mathcal{R}$. In [3], we proved that for every definably compact definably connected semialgebraic group $G$ over $\mathcal{R}$ there are a connected…
The authors classify the finite index subgroups of R. Thompson's group $F$. All such groups that are not isomorphic to $F$ are non-split extensions of finite cyclic groups by $F$. The classification describes precisely which finite index…
Let $G$ be a discrete group and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be two subgroups of $G$-valued continuous functions defined on two $0$-dimensional compact spaces $X$ and $Y$. A group isomorphism $H$ defined between $\mathcal A$ and…
We characterize which permutational wreath products W^(X)\rtimes G are finitely presented. This occurs if and only if G and W are finitely presented, G acts on X with finitely generated stabilizers, and with finitely many orbits on the…
For every finite abelian group $G$, there are positive integers $n$ and $d$ such that $G$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of $d$-th powers of reduced residues modulo $n$.
