Let $m\leq n$ be positive integers and $\mathfrak X$ a class of groups which is closed for subgroups, quotient groups and extensions. Suppose that a finite group $G$ satisfies the condition that for every two subsets $M$ and $N$ of…
For a group G and a positive integer n write B_n(G) = {x \in G : |x^G | \le n}. If s is a positive integer and w is a group word, say that G satisfies the (n,s)-covering condition with respect to the word w if there exists a subset S of G…
Let $C_1,\ldots,C_e$ be noncentral conjugacy classes of the algebraic group $G=SL_n(k)$ defined over a sufficiently large field $k$, and let $\Omega:=C_1\times \ldots \times C_e$. This paper determines necessary and sufficient conditions…
We prove an arithmetic regularity lemma for stable subsets of finite abelian groups, generalising our previous result for high-dimensional vector spaces over finite fields of prime order. A qualitative version of this generalisation was…
I prove several theorems concerning upward closure and amalgamation in the generic multiverse of a countable transitive model of set theory. Every such model $W$ has forcing extensions $W[c]$ and $W[d]$ by adding a Cohen real, which cannot…
For a fixed integer $m\ge 1$, let $\mathcal{A}_n^{(m)}$ be the set of permutations $\pi\in S_n$ that avoid the pattern $132$ and satisfy the adjacency bound $|\pi_{i+1}-\pi_i|\le m$ for all $i$. Here, a pattern $132$ means three indices…
Let $t\ge 1$ be a given integer. Let ${\cal F}$ be a family of subsets of $[m]=\{1,2,\ldots,m\}$. Assume that for every pair of disjoint sets $S,T\subset [m]$ with $|S|=|T|=k$, there do not exist $2t$ sets in ${\cal F}$ where $t$ subsets of…
Suppose $\mathscr{L}^-\subseteq \mathscr{L}$ are languages where $\mathscr{L} \setminus\mathscr{L}^-$ is relational. Additionally, let $\mathbf{K}$ be a strong $\textrm{Fra\"iss\'e}$ class in $\mathscr{L}$. We consider the partial ordering,…
We resolve Stillman's conjecture for families of polynomial rings that are graded by any semigroup under mild conditions. Conversely, we show that these conditions are necessary for the existence of a Stillman bound. This has applications…
We define a notion of higher order renormalization group equation and investigate when a sequence of trees satisfies such an equation. In the strongest sense, the sequence of trees satisfies a $k$th order renormalization group equation when…
A sequence of graphs $ \{G_k\} $ is a Ramsey sequence if for every positive integer $ k $, the graph $ G_k $ is a proper subgraph of $ G_{k+1} $, and there exists an integer $n > k$ such that every red-blue coloring of $ G_n $ contains a…
We study a class of two-generator two-relator groups, denoted $J_n(m,k)$, that arise in the study of relative asphericity as groups satisfying a transitional curvature condition. Particular instances of these groups occur in the literature…
The Surface Group Conjectures are statements about recognising surface groups among one-relator groups, using either the structure of their finite-index subgroups, or all subgroups. We resolve these conjectures in the two generator case.…
General coherence theorems are constructed that yield explicit presentations of categorical and algebraic objects. The categorical structures involved are finitary discrete Lawvere 2-theories, though they are approached within the language…
Let $G$ be a group. The subsets $A_1,\ldots,A_k$ of $G$ form a complete factorization of group $G$ if if they are pairwise disjoint and each element $g\in G$ is uniquely represented as $g=a_1\ldots a_k$, with $a_i\in A_i$. We prove the…
We consider a very weak chain condition for a poset, that is the absence of subsets which are order isomorphic to the set of real numbers in their natural ordering; we study generalised radical groups in which this finiteness condition is…
Let $\CC$ be a Hom-finite triangulated 2-Calabi-Yau category with a cluster-tilting object $T$. Under a constructibility condition we prove the existence of a set $\mathcal G^T(\CC)$ of generic values of the cluster character associated to…
We answer a question raised by Lanier about the possibility of generating $A_n$ and $S_n$ with two elements of order $k$, where $n \geqslant k \geqslant 3$. We show that this can always be done apart from some clear exceptions.
We prove that with probability tending to 1, a 1-relator group with at least 3 generators and relator of length n is residually finite, virtually residually (finite p)-group for all sufficiently large p, and coherent. The proof uses both…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions on an (inverse) semigroup $X$ under which its semigroups of maximal linked systems $\lambda(X)$, filters $\phi(X)$, linked upfamilies $N_2(X)$, and upfamilies $\upsilon(X)$ are inverse.
