Grothendieck Duality -- the theory of the twisted inverse image pseudofunctor (-)^! over a suitable category of scheme-maps -- can be developed concretely, with emphasis on explicit constructions, or abstractly, with emphasis on…
We investigate the existence of left and right adjoints to the restriction functor in three categories of continuous representations of a topological group: discrete, linear complete and compact.
We investigate Grothendieck rings appearing in real geometry, notably for arc-symmetric sets, and focus on the relative case in analogy with the properties of the ring of algebraically constructible functions defined by McCrory and…
We construct Grothendieck pairs witnessing that the following are not profinite invariants: stable commutator length, quasimorphisms (answering a question of Echtler and Kammeyer), property NL (which obstructs actions on hyperbolic spaces),…
Recently there has been a lot of research and progress in profinite groups. We survey some of the new results and discuss open problems. A central theme is decompositions of finite groups into bounded products of subsets of various kinds…
We prove that the irreducible affine Coxeter groups are first-order rigid and deduce from this that they are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense. We then show that the first-order theory of any irreducible affine Coxeter group does not…
The aim of the paper is to discuss the relation subgroups of the Grothendieck groups of extriangulated categories and certain other subgroups. It is shown that a locally finite extriangulated category $\C$ has Auslander-Reiten…
We extend Wilkes' results on the profinite rigidity of SFSs to the setting of central extensions of 2-orbifold groups with higher-rank centre. We prove that both rigid and non-rigid phenomena arise in this setting and that the non-rigid…
Every Grothendieck fibration gives rise to a vertical/cartesian orthogonal factorization system on its domain. We define a cartesian factorization system to be an orthogonal factorization in which the left class satisfies 2-of-3 and is…
A profinite group equipped with an expansive endomorphism is equivalent to a one-sided group shift. We show that these groups have a very restricted structure. More precisely, we show that any such group can be decomposed into a finite…
We construct a correspondence between the cohomology groups of a group $G$ relative to a family of subgroups $\famS$ and the classes of `relative extensions' of $G$ by abelian groups, modulo a certain equivalence relation. We establish this…
Broadly speaking, a finiteness property of groups is any generalisation of the property of having finite order. A large part of infinite group theory is concerned with finiteness properties and the relationships between them. Profinite…
A rank $n$ generalized Baumslag-Solitar group ($GBS_n$ group) is a group that splits as a finite graph of groups such that all vertex and edge groups are isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}^n$. This paper investigates Grothendieck rigidity and…
Surface groups are determined among limit groups by their profinite completions. As a corollary, the set of surface words in a free group is closed in the profinite topology.
We establish a combination theorem for parafree groups. These groups were introduced by Baumslag in the sixties. One of the current motivations for a better understanding of their structure is that they show up naturally in connection with…
Recently, the author discovered an interesting class of knot-like objects called free knots. These purely combinatorial objects are equivalence classes of Gauss diagrams modulo Reidemeister moves (the same notion in the language of words…
This note is a commentary on the model-theoretic interpretation of Grothendieck's double limit characterization of weak relative compactness.
Let C be a connected noetherian hereditary abelian Ext-finite category with Serre functor over an algebraically closed field k, with finite dimensional homomorphism and extension spaces. Using the classification of such categories from…
Relations and interactions between the theorems of Ash, Herwig--Lascar and Ribes--Zalesskii are discussed and it is shown that these three theorems are equivalent in the sense that each of them can be derived from each other one. Some…
We determine Grothendieck groups of periodic derived categories. In particular, we prove that the Grothendieck group of the $m$-periodic derived category of finitely generated modules over an Artin algebra is a free $\mathbb{Z}$-module if…
