Let $A$ be a commutative ring, and assume every non-trivial ideal of $A$ has finite-index. We show that if ${\rm{SL}}_n(A)$ has bounded elementary generation then every conjugation-invariant norm on it is either discrete or precompact. If…

We give a geometric characterisation of those groups that arise as fixed subgroups of finite-order untwisted automorphisms of right-angled Artin groups (RAAGs). They are precisely the fundamental groups of a class of compact special cube…

We say that a class of finite structures for a finite first-order signature is $r$-compressible if each structure $G$ in the class has a first-order description of size at most $O(r(|G|))$. We show that the class of finite simple groups is…

We prove the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups: the complexified complement of an affine reflection arrangement is a classifying space. This is a long-standing problem, due to Arnol'd, Pham, and Thom. Our proof is based on…

Coxeter groups are equipped with a partial order known as the weak order, such that $u \leq v$ if the inversions of $u$ are a subset of the inversions of $v$. In finite Coxeter groups, weak order is a complete lattice, but in infinite…

We establish that, under certain closure assumptions on a pseudovariety of semigroups, the corresponding relatively free profinite semigroups freely generated by a non-singleton finite set act faithfully on their minimum ideals. As…

Finitely generated (non-abelian) free metabelian pro-p groups, and wreath products of f.g. free abelian pro-p groups, are all finitely axiomatizable in the class of all profinite groups.

Solid abelian groups, as introduced by Dustin Clausen and Peter Scholze, form a subcategory of all condensed abelian groups satisfying some ''completeness'' conditions and having favourable categorical properties. Given a profinite ring…

In this paper, we prove that all finitely generated 3-manifold groups are Grothendieck rigid. More precisely, for any finitely generated 3-manifold group $G$ and any finitely generated proper subgroup $H<G$, we prove that the inclusion…

We introduce the notion of corestricted free products of a family of profinite groups indexed over an arbitrary profinite space. Using arithmetic results of the second author, this enables us to prove an analogue of Riemann's existence…

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…

In this paper, we prove that all finitely generated malnormal subgroups of one-ended right-angled Coxeter groups are strongly quasiconvex and they are in particular quasiconvex when the ambient groups are hyperbolic. The key idea is to…

We propose generalizations of Calogero models that exhibit invariance with respect to the infinite Weyl groups of affine, hyperbolic, and Lorentzian types. Our approach involves deriving closed analytic formulas for the action of the…

This article resolves several long-standing conjectures about Artin groups of euclidean type. In particular, we prove that every irreducible euclidean Artin group is a torsion-free centerless group with a decidable word problem and a…

We prove using a novel random matrix model that all right-angled Artin groups have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that strongly converge to the regular representation. We deduce that this result applies also to:…

We prove that each residually finite Baumslag-Solitar group can be distinguished by its finite quotients from all other residually finite Baumslag-Solitar groups.

We construct arithmetic Kleinian groups that are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense: each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. The Bianchi group…

By arithmeticity and superrigidity, a commensurability class of lattices in a higher rank Lie group is defined by a unique algebraic group over a unique number subfield of $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. We prove an adelic version of…
