The conference Galaxy Disks and Disk Galaxies, sponsored by the Vatican Observatory, was held in June 12-16, 2000 at the Pontifical Gregorian University, in Rome (Italy). The meeting hosted about 230 participants coming from 30 countries.…
These introductory notes on Whitney towers in 4-manifolds, as developed in collaboration with Jim Conant and Peter Teichner, are an expansion of three expository lectures given at the Winter Braids X conference February 2020 in Pisa, Italy.…
This survey article, is written as an extended note and supplement of my lectures in the current developments in mathematics conference in 2015. We discuss some recent developments on the conjugacy classes of affine Weyl groups and $p$-adic…
This is an expanded version of my talk given at the workshop "Hot Topics: Thin Groups and Super-strong Approximation" (MSRI, Berkeley, February 6-10, 2012).
We describe an effective version of the conjugacy problem and study it for wreath products and free solvable groups. The problem involves estimating the length of short conjugators between two elements of the group, a notion which leads to…
This is an extended abstract of my talk at the Oberwolfach Workshop "Algebraic Groups" (April 22 - 28, 2007). It is based on a joint work with H.Derksen and J.Weyman (arXiv:0704.0649v2 [math.RA]).
In [BV12] we have proven that, for all hyperbolic groups and for all non-trivial free products $\Gamma$, the left-right wreath product group $G:=(Z/2Z)^{(\Gamma)} \rtimes (\Gamma \times \Gamma)$ is W$^*$-superrigid. In this paper, we extend…
These notes were written as supplementary material for a five-hour lecture series presented at the Centre de Recerca Mathem\`atica at the Universitat Aut\`onoma de Barcelona from the 13th to the 17th of March 2017. The intention of these…
Some of the new experimental results and theoretical developments presented at the Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering and Related Phenomena (Rome, April 1996) are reviewed.
We examine the conjugacy growth series of all wreath products of the finitary permutation groups $\text{Sym}(X)$ and $\text{Alt}(X)$ for an infinite set $X$. We determine their asymptotics, and we characterize the limiting behavior between…
This volume contains the proceedings of PLACES 2026, the 17th edition of the Workshop on Programming Language Approaches to Concurrency and Communication-cEntric Software. The workshop is scheduled to take place in Turin, Italy, on April…
We give a modular branching rule for certain wreath products as a generalization of Kleshchev's modular branching rule for the symmetric groups. Our result contains a modular branching rule for the complex reflection groups $G(m,1,n)$…
Given a morphism $\varphi : G \to A \wr B$ from a finitely presented group $G$ to a wreath product $A \wr B$, we show that, if the image of $\varphi$ is a sufficiently large subgroup, then $\mathrm{ker}(\varphi)$ contains a non-abelian free…
We investigate a semigroup construction related to the two-sided wreath product. It encompasses a range of known constructions and gives a slightly finer version of the decomposition in the Krohn-Rhodes Theorem, in which the three-element…
We generalize two bijections due to Garsia and Gessel to compute the generating functions of the two vector statistics $(\des_G, \maj,\ell_G, \col)$ and $(\des_G, \ides_G, \maj, \imaj, \col, \icol)$ over the wreath product of a symmetric…
The paper is an extended version of the talk which I gave at the XIX Congresso dell'UMI in Bologna in September 2011. The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to give an overview on the recent development in the classification of surfaces…
We unify and generalize several approaches to constructing braid group representations from finite groups, using iterated twisted tensor products. Our results hint at a relationship between the braidings on the $G$-gaugings of a pointed…
Let G1, G2, ... be a sequence of almost simple groups and construct a sequence (Wi) of wreath products via W1 = G1 and, for each i > 1, Wi+1 = Gi+1 wr Wi via the regular action of each Gi. We determine the minimum number d(Wi) of generators…
In this article topologies on metagroups are studied. They are related with generalized $C^*$-algebras over ${\bf R}$ or ${\bf C}$. Homomorphisms and quotient maps on them are investigated. Structure of topological metagroups is…
We study the effects of subgroup distortion in the wreath products A wr Z, where A is finitely generated abelian. We show that every finitely generated subgroup of A wr Z has distortion function equivalent to some polynomial. Moreover, for…
