In this article, we characterise geometrically when a right-angled Artin group splits over an abelian subgroup. More precisely, given a finite graph $\Gamma$, we show that $A(\Gamma)$ splits over an abelian subgroup if and only if it is…

We construct explicitly a family of proper subgroups of the tame automorphism group of affine three-space (in any characteristic) which are generated by the affine subgroup and a non-affine tame automorphism. One important corollary is the…

Let T be a k-regular tree (k>2) and A its automorphism group. We analyze a generic finitely generated subgroup Gamma of A. We show that Gamma is free and establish a trichotomy on the closure of Gamma: it is either discrete, compact or has…

For the action of a group $G$ by homeomorphisms on a space $X$, the automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(X,G)$ consists of all self-homeomorphisms of $X$ which commute with $x \mapsto g \cdot x$ for every $g \in G$. A theorem of Ryan shows that…

We give a short proof of the following result due to Howie: if $A(\Gamma)$ is a right-angled Artin group embedding into some one-relator group, then $\Gamma$ is a finite forest. The proof only uses elementary Bass--Serre theory and…

The goal of this paper is to construct and describe certain arithmetic subgroups of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group. More precisely, given an arbitrary finite graph $\Gamma$ we construct an arithmetic subgroup…

The maximal normal subgroup growth type of a finitely generated group is $n^{\log n}$. Very little is known about groups with this type of growth. In particular, the following is a long standing problem: Let $\Gamma$ be a group and $\Delta$…

In a recent paper [3], the authors introduced a map $\mathcal{F}$ which associates a Deitmar scheme (which is defined over the field with one element, denoted by $\mathbb{F}_1$) with any given graph $\Gamma$. By base extension, a scheme…

Given a $p$-adic group $G$ equipped with an action of a finite group $\Gamma\subset\mathrm{Aut}_F(\mathbf{G})$, and a reductive fixed-point subgroup $G^\Gamma$, we establish a relationship between constructions of types for these two groups…

The classical result by Dyer--Scott about fixed subgroups of finite order automorphisms of $F_n$ being free factors of $F_n$ is no longer true in $Z^m\times F_n$. Within this more general context, we prove a relaxed version in the spirit of…

Let $k$ be an algebraically-closed field, and $B$ a unital, associative $k$-algebra with $n := \dim_kB < \infty$. For each $1 \le m \le n$, the collection of all $m$-dimensional subalgebras of $B$ carries the structure of a projective…

We prove a Tits alternative theorem for subgroups of finitely generated even Artin groups of FC type (EAFC groups), stating that there exists a finite index subgroup such that every subgroup of it is either finitely generated abelian, or…

We show that the isomorphism problem is solvable in the class of central extensions of word-hyperbolic groups, and that the isomorphism problem for biautomatic groups reduces to that for biautomatic groups with finite centre. We describe an…

For a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, let $A(\Gamma)$ denote the right-angled Artin group on $\Gamma$. Recently Kim and Koberda introduced the extension graph $\Gamma^e$ for $\Gamma$, and established the Extension Graph Theorem: for…

For every positive integer $n$, we construct, using algebraic groups, an infinite family of irreducible algebraic varieties $X$,whose automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(X)$ contains the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}(F_n)$ of a free group $F_n$…

Let $G$ be an infinite simple group of finite Morley rank and $\alpha$ a supertight automorphism of $G$ so that the fixed point subgroup $P_n:=C_G(\alpha^n)$ is pseudofinite for all $n\in \mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}$. It is know (using CFSG)…

We provide the existence, for every complex rational smooth affine curve $\Gamma$, of a linear action of $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ on the affine 3-dimensional space $\mathbb{A}^3$, together with a $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$-equivariant closed…

We study representations of the pure symmetric automorphism group $PAut(A_\Gamma)$ of a RAAG $A_\Gamma$ with defining graph $\Gamma$. We first construct a homomorphism from $PAut(A_\Gamma)$ to the direct product of a RAAG and a finite…

This paper deals with the analytic continuation of holomorphic automorphic forms on a Lie group $G$. We prove that for any discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of $G$ there always exists a non-trivial holomorphic automorphic form, i.e., there exists…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated cocompact lattice of a totally disconnected locally compact group $G$, and $C$ a dense subgroup of $G$ that contains and commensurates $\Gamma$. We study the problem of describing all finitely generated…
