In this paper, we compute the {\Sigma}^n(G) and {\Omega}^n(G) invariants when 1 \rightarrow H \rightarrow G \rightarrow K \rightarrow 1 is a short exact sequence of finitely generated groups with K finite. We also give sufficient conditions…

We describe a flexible construction that produces triples of finitely generated, residually finite groups $M\hookrightarrow P \hookrightarrow \Gamma$, where the maps induce isomorphisms of profinite completions…

In the quest in constructing conformal field theories (CFT) Jones has discovered a beautiful and deep connection between CFT, Richard Thompson's groups and knot theory. This led to a powerful functorial framework for constructing actions of…

Let $X$ be a product of locally compact rank one Hadamard spaces and $\Gamma$ a discrete group of isometries which contains two elements projecting to a pair of independent rank one isometries in each factor. In [arXiv:1308.5584] we gave a…

A B-group is a group such that all its minimal generating sets (with respect to inclusion) have the same size. We prove that the class of finite B-groups is closed under taking quotients and that every finite B-group is solvable. Via a…

Let $\varphi\colon\Gamma\to G$ be a homomorphism of groups. We consider factorizations $\Gamma\xrightarrow{f} M\xrightarrow{g} G$ of $\varphi$ such that either $g$ or $f$ are universal normal maps (namely, crossed modules). These two…

Fixing a subgroup $\Gamma$ in a group $G$, the full commensurability growth function assigns to each $n$ the cardinality of the set of subgroups $\Delta$ of $G$ with $[\Gamma: \Gamma \cap \Delta][\Delta : \Gamma \cap \Delta] \leq n$. For…

Thompson's groups, which are denoted by $F, T$ and $V$, were introduced by R. Thompson. It is known that they are related to various fields in mathematics. In this paper, we establish that Thompson's groups are regarded as subgroups of…

Finite determinacy for mappings has been classically thoroughly studied in numerous scenarios in the real- and complex-analytic category and in the differentiable case. It means that the map-germ is determined, up to a given equivalence…

In this paper the concept of $\mathbb{F}$-functorial of a finite group was introduced. These functorials have many properties of the Fitting subgroup of a soluble group and the generalized Fitting subgroup of a finite group. It was shown…

We study a family of Thompson-like groups built as rearrangement groups of fractals from [BF19], each acting on a Wa\.zewski dendrite. Each of these is a finitely generated group that is dense in the full group of homeomorphisms of the…

We develop a relative boundary theory for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces and use it to derive rigidity results for reduced crossed products. For a discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on a compact space $X$ and a subgroup $H$, we…

The Sylow graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a finite group $G$ originated from recent investigations on the so--called $\mathbf{N}$--closed classes of groups. The connectivity of $\Gamma(G)$ was proved only few years ago, involving the classification of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a group which is virtually free of rank at least 2 and let $\mathcal{F}_{td}(\Gamma)$ be the family of totally disconnected, locally compact groups containing $\Gamma$ as a co-compact lattice. We prove that the values of the…

We prove that every finitely generated, residually finite group $G$ embeds into a finitely generated perfect branch group $\Gamma$ such that many properties of $G$ are preserved under this embedding. Among those are the properties of being…

We propose a new unified framework for Thompson-like groups using a well-known device called operads and category theory as language. We discuss examples of operad groups which have appeared in the literature before. As a first application,…

The goal is to extend a non-standard amenability test for groups, based on random walks and superharmonic functions, to group actions on sets, and to apply it to Thompson's group F using certain properties of extensive amenability. While no…

Let $F$ be a global field. Let $G$ be a non trivial finite \'etale tame $F$-group scheme. We define height functions on the set of $G$-torsors over $F,$ which generalize the usual heights such as discriminant. As an analogue of the Malle…

For a non-empty class of groups $\cal L$, a finite group $G = AB$ is said to be an $\cal L$-connected product of the subgroups $A$ and $B$ if $\langle a, b\rangle \in \cal L$ for all $a \in A$ and $b \in B$. In a previous paper, we prove…

In joint work of the author with Stefan Witzel, a procedure was developed for building new examples of groups in the extended family of R. Thompson's groups, using what we termed \emph{cloning systems}. These new Thompson-like groups can be…
