Let $q$ be a prime and $A$ an elementary abelian group of order at least $q^3$ acting by automorphisms on a finite $q'$-group $G$. It is proved that if $|\gamma_{\infty}(C_{G}(a))|\leq m$ for any $a\in A^{\#}$, then the order of…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $\Gamma$ be an infinite discrete group. The algebraic $K$-theory of the group ring $R[\Gamma]$ is an important object of computation in geometric topology and number theory. When the group ring is…

We investigate invariant random subgroups in groups acting on rooted trees. Let $\mathrm{Alt}_f(T)$ be the group of finitary even automorphisms of the $d$-ary rooted tree $T$. We prove that a nontrivial ergodic IRS of $\mathrm{Alt}_f(T)$…

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…

We study profinite actions of residually finite groups in terms of weak containment. We show that two strongly ergodic profinite actions of a group are weakly equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. This allows us to construct…

A subgroup H of a group G is called inert if for each $g\in G$ the index of $H\cap H^g$ in $H$ is finite. We give a classification of soluble-by-finite groups $G$ in which subnormal subgroups are inert in the cases where $G$ has no…

The Fitting subgroup of a type-definable group in a simple theory is relatively definable and nilpotent. Moreover, the Fitting subgroup of a supersimple hyperdefinable group has a normal hyperdefinable nilpotent subgroup of bounded index,…

We prove a noncommutative Bader-Shalom factor theorem for lattices with dense projections in product groups. As an application of this result and our previous works, we obtain a noncommutative Margulis factor theorem for all irreducible…

In this two part work we prove that for every finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma < \text{Out}(F_n)$, either $\Gamma$ is virtually abelian or $H^2_b(\Gamma;\mathbb{R})$ contains an embedding of $\ell^1$. The method uses actions on…

We prove an entropy formula for certain expansive actions of a countable discrete residually finite group $\Gamma $ by automorphisms of compact abelian groups in terms of Fuglede-Kadison determinants. This extends an earlier result proved…

We introduce a quantitative notion of lawlessness for finitely generated groups, encoded by the "lawlessness growth function" $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma} : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$. We show that $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma}$ is bounded iff…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $X$ be a minimal compact $\Gamma$-space. We assume that the $\Gamma$-action is micro-supported, i.e. for every non-empty open subset $U \subseteq X$, there is an element of $\Gamma$ acting…

An $L(2,1)$-labelling of a finite graph $\Gamma$ is a function that assigns integer values to the vertices $V(\Gamma)$ of $\Gamma$ (colouring of $V(\Gamma)$ by ${\mathbb{Z}}$) so that the absolute difference of two such values is at least…

For a finite group $G$ denote by $\gamma(L(G))$ the genus of the subgroup graph of $G.$ We prove that $\gamma(L(G))$ tends to infinity as either the rank of $G$ or the number of prime divisors of $|G|$ tends to infinity.
