This is a draft of a book submitted for publication by the AMS. Its theme is the remarkable interplay, accelerating in the last few decades, between topology and the theory of orderable groups, with applications in both directions. It…
We study a twisted version of Grigorchuk's first group, and stress its similarities and differences to its model. In particular, we show that it admits a finite endomorphic presentation, has infinite-rank multiplier, and does not have the…
Given an abelian variety over a field with a discrete valuation, Grothendieck defined a certain open normal subgroup of the absolute inertia group. This subgroup encodes information on the extensions over which the abelian variety acquires…
This thesis deals with the conjugacy problem in groups and its twisted variants. We analyze recent results by Bogopolski, Martino, Maslakova and Ventura on the twisted conjugacy problem in free groups and its implication for the conjugacy…
We extend a result of Cisinski on the construction of cofibrantly generated model structures from (Grothendieck) toposes to locally presentable categories and from monomorphism to more general cofibrations. As in the original case, under…
We study combinatorial properties of the subshift induced by the substitution that describes Lysenok's presentation of Grigorchuk's group of intermediate growth by generators and relators. This subshift has recently appeared in two…
Grothendieck's theory of fibred categories establishes an equivalence between fibred categories and pseudo functors. It plays a major role in algebraic geometry and categorical logic. This paper aims to show that fibrations are also very…
For an exact category $\mathcal{E}$, we study the Butler's condition "AR=Ex": the relation of the Grothendieck group of $\mathcal{E}$ is generated by Auslander-Reiten conflations. Under some assumptions, we show that AR=Ex is equivalent to…
For any left orderable group G, we recall from work of McCleary that isolated points in the space of left orderings correspond to basic elements in the free lattice ordered group over G. We then establish a new connection between the…
For an arbitrary rational polyhedron we consider its decompositions into Minkowski summands and, dual to this, the free extensions of the associated pair of semigroups. Being free for the pair of semigroups is equivalent to flatness for the…
In a previous paper we have defined a second basis of the Grothendieck group of a split reductive group over a finite field. In this paper we extend this to the case of nonsplit special orthogonal groups.
In this thesis, we present a flexible framework for specifying and constructing operads which are suited to reasoning about network construction. The data used to present these operads is called a \emph{network model}, a monoidal variant of…
We prove that every right-angled Coxeter group (RACG) is profinitely rigid amongst all Coxeter groups. On the other hand we exhibit RACGs which have infinite profinite genus amongst all finitely generated residually finite groups. We also…
We prove that every {finitely generated residually finite}-by-sofic group satisfies Kaplansky's direct and stable finiteness conjectures with respect to all noetherian rings. We use this result to provide countably many new examples of…
Let G be a countable group. We show there is a topological relationship between the space CO(G) of circular orders on G and the moduli space of actions of G on the circle; as well as an analogous relationship for spaces of left orders and…
Grothendieck polynomials were introduced by Lascoux and Sch\"utzenberger, and they play an important role in K-theoretic Schubert calculus. In this paper, we give a new definition of double stable Grothendieck polynomials based on an…
We introduce a Grothendieck ring of higher Artin stacks generalizing the Grothendieck ring of algebraic varieties. We show that this ring is not trivial by noticing that it factors the invariant "number of rational points over a finite…
We define a Grothendieck ring of pairs of complex quasi-projective varieties (that is a variety and a subvariety). We describe $\lambda$-structures and a power structure on/over this ring. We show that the conjectual symmetric power of the…
The model-theoretic Grothendieck ring of a first order structure, as defined by Krajic\v{e}k and Scanlon, captures some combinatorial properties of the definable subsets of finite powers of the structure. In this paper we compute the…
We show that the maximal subgroup of the free profinite semigroup associated by Almeida to an irreducible sofic shift is a free profinite group, generalizing an earlier result of the second author for the case of the full shift (whose…
