Bestvina, Feighn and Handel proved that every subgroup of the outer automorphism group, $\textrm{Out}(F_n)$, of the free group of rank $n$ is either virtually finitely generated abelian or contains a nonabelian free group. In this note we…

We compute the homology groups $H_*(\operatorname{Out}(F_7);\mathbb Q)$ of the outer automorphism group of the free group of rank $7$. We produce in this manner the first rational homology classes of $\operatorname{Out}(F_n)$ that are…

We prove two conjectures on the automorphism group of a one-dimensional formal group law defined over a field of positive characteristic. The first is that if a series commutes with a nontorsion automorphism of the formal group law, then…

In this paper, we briefly review some of the known results concerning the cohomological structures of the mapping class group of surfaces, the outer automorphism group of free groups, the diffeomorphism group of surfaces as well as various…

We obtain vanishing ranges for the mod $p$ cohomology of alternating subgroups of finite $p$-free Coxeter groups. Here a Coxeter group $W$ is $p$-free if the order of the product $st$ is prime to $p$ for every pair of Coxeter generators…

We prove separation and excision results in functor homology. These results explain how the global Steinberg decomposition of functors proved by Djament, Touz{\'e} and Vespa behaves in Ext and Tor computations.

This paper exhibits fundamental structure underlying Lie algebra homology with coefficients in tensor products of the adjoint representation, mostly focusing upon the case of free Lie algebras. The main result yields a DG category that is…

We establish a general criterion for the finite presentability of subdirect products of groups and use this to characterize finitely presented residually free groups. We prove that, for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$, a residually free group is of…

The notion of symmetry in polynomial rings with several indeterminates is generalized to polynomial rings over finite fields. Families of extensions of the projective line over a finite field of constants possessing this property are…

This paper studies the rigidity properties of the abstract commensurator of the outer automorphism group of a universal Coxeter group of rank $n$, which is the free product $W_n$ of $n$ copies of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$. We prove that for…

A right-angled Coxeter group is a group with a given set of generators of order two, subject only to the relations that certain pairs of the generators commute. Various papers have shown how homological properties of the Coxeter group are…

We show that all finitely generated free-by-cyclic groups are conjugacy separable: if a finitely generated group $G$ surjects onto $\mathbb{Z}$ with free kernel, then for every pair of non-conjugate elements $g,h\in G$, there exists a…

Let $G$ be the fundamental group of a graph of finitely generated virtually free groups with virtually cyclic edge groups. We shaw that $G$ is cohomologically good if $G$ is residually finite. If $G$ is LERF, we prove that G splits…

Gaussian elimination answers any question about a finitely presented vector space. However, a "uniform family" of such presentations--given as generic relations among an unspecified number of generators--is susceptible to elimination only…

We prove that residually finite mapping tori of polynomially growing automorphisms of hyperbolic groups, groups hyperbolic relative to finitely many virtually polycyclic groups, right-angled Artin groups (when the automorphism is…

We study a class of $\Z^{d}$-substitutive subshifts, including a large family of constant-length substitutions, and homomorphisms between them, i.e., factors modulo isomorphisms of $\Z^{d}$. We prove that any measurable factor map and even…

In terms of category theory, the Gromov homotopy principle for a set valued functor $F$ asserts that the functor $F$ can be induced from a homotopy functor. Similarly, we say that the bordism principle for an abelian group valued functor…

We prove that the outer automorphism group of a one-ended hyperbolic group is virtually a hierarchically hyperbolic group (HHG), under mild orientability conditions on the associated JSJ decomposition. This is done by proving that a…

The study of separating invariants is a recent trend in invariant theory. For a finite group acting linearly on a vector space, a separating set is a set of invariants whose elements separate the orbits of G. In some ways, separating sets…

Can one detect free products of groups via their profinite completions? We answer positively among virtually free groups. More precisely, we prove that a subgroup of a finitely generated virtually free group $G$ is a free factor if and only…
