We argue that if de Sitter space is indeed represented by a finite dimensional quantum system, then semi-classical considerations, combined with the fundamental principles of quantum measurement theory, imply that any theoretical model of…
The goal of this article is to study results and examples concerning finitely presented covers of finitely generated amenable groups. We collect examples of groups $G$ with the following properties: (i) $G$ is finitely generated, (ii) $G$…
We define a class of subsets of a topological space that coincides with the class of compact saturated subsets when the space is sober, and with enough good properties when the space is not sober. This class is introduced especially in view…
We consider groups defined by cyclic presentations where the defining word has length three and the cyclic presentation satisfies the T(6) small cancellation condition. We classify when these groups are hyperbolic. When combined with known…
A combinatorial property of prositive group presentations, called completeness, is introduced, with an effective criterion for recognizing complete presentations, and an iterative method for completing an incomplete presentation. We show…
We study random nilpotent groups in the well-established style of random groups, by choosing relators uniformly among freely reduced words of (nearly) equal length and letting the length tend to infinity. Whereas random groups are quotients…
In this paper we survey a new criteria for solvability of finite groups in terms of number of supersolvable (also known as polycyclic) and non-supersolvable subgroups. In particular, we present original examples of supersolvable groups such…
We study the class of groups having the property that every non-nilpotent subgroup is equal to its normalizer. These groups are either soluble or perfect. We completely describe the structure of soluble groups and finite perfect groups with…
Trying to finalize in some way the present subject, this paper targets to generalize substantially the notions of Bassian and co-Bassian groups by introducing the so-called finitely (co-)Bassian groups, semi (co-)Bassian groups, fully…
A structure theorem is proved for strongly holonomic modules over a quantum torus (a crossed product of a field with a free abelian group in which the field is central). This can be applied to give a structure theorem for finitely presented…
We show that properties $F_n$ and $FP_n$ hold for a relatively hyperbolic group if and only if they hold for all the peripheral subgroups. As an application we show that there are at least countably many distinct quasi-isometry classes of…
Using the projection complex machinery, Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara, Hagen-Petyt and Han-Nguyen-Yang prove that several classes of nonpositively-curved groups admit equivariant quasi-isometric embeddings into finite products of quasi-trees,…
We show that first-order formulae are concise in acylindrically hyperbolic groups and certain extensions thereof. We study further classes of groups, including Burnside groups, icc groups, groups with the `Big Powers' condition, torus knot…
This paper helps explain the prevalence of soluble groups among the automorphism groups of regular maps (at least for `small' genus), by showing that every non-perfect hyperbolic ordinary triangle group $\Delta^+(p,q,r) = \langle\, x,y \ |…
A group is metabelian if its commutator subgroup is abelian. For finitely generated metabelian groups, classical commutative algebra, algebraic geometry and geometric group theory, especially the latter two subjects, can be brought to bear…
New features of a previously introduced Group Approach to Quantization are presented. We show that the construction of the symmetry group associated with the system to be quantized (the "quantizing group") does not require, in general, the…
In this article, part of the author's thesis, we propose a definition for measured quantum groupoid. The aim is the construction of objects with duality including both quantum groups and groupoids. We base ourselves on J. Kustermans and S.…
We define a numerical quasi-isometry invariant of a finitely generated group, whose values parametrize the difference between the group being uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space and the reduced C*-algebra of the group being exact.
A group is known as `large' if some finite index subgroup admits a surjective homomorphism onto a non-abelian free group. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a finitely presented group to be large, in terms of…
The paper begins by exploring the various definitions of norms on semigroups and then presents a new definition of a normed semigroup. The properties of normed semigroups in the new sense are investigated. The new definition of the norm is…
