Let $K$ be a global function field of characteristic $p$, and let $\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of an arithmetic group defined with respect to $K$ and such that any torsion element of $\Gamma$ is a $p$-torsion element. We define…

Let $\Gamma$ be an irreducible lattice of $\Q$-rank $\geq 2$ in a semisimple Lie group of noncompact type. We prove that any action of $\Gamma$ on a $\CAT(0)$ cubical complex has a global fixed point.

We show that if $G$ is a real semi-simple Lie group, and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$ containing a subgroup $\Sigma$ acting ergodically (in a strong sense) on the Furstenberg boundary of $G$, then $\Gamma$ is not isomorphic to a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group which is hyperbolic relative to a finite family $\{H_1,...,H_n\}$ of subgroups. We prove that $\Gamma$ is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space if and only if each subgroup $H_i$ is uniformly…

We study Artin-Schelter Gorenstein fixed subrings of some Artin-Schelter regular algebras of dimension 2 and 3 under finite group actions, and prove a noncommutative version of the Kac-Watanabe and Gordeev theorem for these algebras.

Let $X$ be the $2$-sphere $\mathbb S^2$ or the real projective plane $\mathbb {RP}^2$. We show that if $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated group acting minimally and distally on $X$, then $\Gamma$ contains a nonabelian free subgroup.

Given a $\Gamma$-semigroup $S$, we construct a semigroup $\Sigma$ in such a way that one sided ideals and quasi-ideals of $S$ can be regarded as one sided ideals and quasi-ideals respectively of $\Sigma$. This correspondence and other…

We study the subgroup structure of the \'etale fundamental group $\Pi$ of a projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We obtain an analog of the diamond theorem for $\Pi$. As a consequence we show that most…

For a finitely generated lawless group $\Gamma$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma} (n)$ be the minimal positive integer $M_n$ such that for all nontrivial reduced words $w$ of length at most $n$ in the free group of fixed…

A finite group $G$ admits a normal $2$-covering if there exist two proper subgroups $H$ and $K$ with $G=\bigcup_{g\in G}H^g\cup\bigcup_{g\in G}K^g$. For determining inductively the finite groups admitting a normal $2$-covering, it is…

We prove that the alternating group of a topologically free action of a countably infinite group $\Gamma$ on the Cantor set has the property that all of its $\ell^2$-Betti numbers vanish and, in the case that $\Gamma$ is amenable, is stable…

Given a finite group $G$, denote by $\Gamma(G)$ the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the distinct sizes of noncentral conjugacy classes of $G$, and set two vertices of $\Gamma(G)$ to be adjacent if and only if they are not coprime…

Let $\tilde{G}$ be a finite group, $G$ a normal subgroup of $\tilde{G}$ and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. The first main result in this paper is to show that support $\tau$-tilting $k\tilde{G}$-modules…

We give a criterion for the rigidity of actions on homogeneous spaces. Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda$ a lattice in $G$, and $\Gamma$ a subgroup of the affine group Aff$(G)$ stabilizing $\Lambda$. Then the action of $\Gamma$ on…

Thoma's theorem states that a group algebra $C^*(\Gamma)$ is of type I if and only if $\Gamma$ is virtually abelian. We discuss here some similar questions for the quantum groups, our main result stating that, under suitable virtually…

Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an inverse semigroup of partial bijections of $X$. Thus, an element of $S$ is a bijection between two subsets of $X$, and the set $S$ is required to be closed under the operations of taking inverses and…

In this article we introduce and study a class of finite groups for which the orders of normal subgroups satisfy a certain inequality. It is closely connected to some well-known arithmetic classes of natural numbers.

We give a proof, based on thermodynamic formalism, of a theorem in bounded cohomology extending a foundational result of Burger and Monod: if $\Gamma$ is an irreducible uniform lattice in a non-compact connected semisimple Lie group of real…

We prove Nielsen realisation for finite subgroups of the groups of untwisted outer automorphisms of RAAGs in the following sense: given any graph $\Gamma$, and any finite group $G\leqslant \mathrm{U}^0(A_\Gamma) \leqslant…

Let $\Gamma$ be an $\widetilde A_2$ subgroup of $\PGL_3(\mathbb K)$, where $\mathbb K$ is a local field with residue field of order $q$. The module of coinvariants $C(\mathbb P^2_{\mathbb K},\mathbb Z)_{\Gamma}$ is shown to be finite, where…
