We generalize the classical definition of effectively closed subshift to finitely generated groups. We study classical stability properties of this class and then extend this notion by allowing the usage of an oracle to the word problem of…

Every finitely generated self-similar group naturally produces an infinite sequence of finite $d$-regular graphs $\Gamma_n$. We construct self-similar groups, whose graphs $\Gamma_n$ can be represented as an iterated zig-zag product and…

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…

A discrete group $\Gamma$ is called exact if the reduced group C*-algebra ${C_{\lambda}}^{*}(\Gamma)$ is exact as C*-algebras, and a discrete group $\Lambda$ is called residually exact if every nonunital element $g \in \Lambda$ admits a…

Let $X_0, X_1, ..., X_k$ with $k \in \IN\cup\{\infty\}$ be sequence spaces $($finite or infinite dimensional$)$ over $\IC$ or $\IR$ with absolute norms $N_i$ for $i = 0, ..., k$, $($i.e., with 1-unconditional bases$)$ such that $\dim X_0 =…

In this paper we expand on previous results, studying the extent to which one can detect fusion in certain finite groups $\Gamma$, from information about the universal deformation rings of absolutely irreducible…

Let R be any ring (with 1), \Gamma a group and R\Gamma the corresponding group ring. Let H be a subgroup of \Gamma of finite index. Let M be an R\Gamma -module, whose restriction to RH is projective. Moore's conjecture: Assume for every…

We give a uniform construction that, on input of a recursive presentation $P$ of a group, outputs a recursive presentation of a torsion-free group, isomorphic to $P$ whenever $P$ is itself torsion-free. We use this to re-obtain a known…

We outline a general procedure that builds classifying spaces for generalized Thompson groups $\Gamma$. The construction depends on a small number of choices: (1) an inverse semigroup $S$ of partial transformations that ``locally determine"…

The character variety $\Xi$ of a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ in $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ has many compactifications. We construct a continuous surjection from the real spectrum compactification $\Xi^{\mathrm{RSp}}$ to the oriented…

In this paper, we develop a groupoid approach to the equivariant coarse Baum--Connes conjecture. For a bounded geometry metric space $X$ equipped with a proper, free, and isometric action of a countable discrete group $\Gamma$, we introduce…

An essentially free group action of $\Gamma$ on $(X,\mu)$ is called W*-superrigid if the crossed product von Neumann algebra $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \Gamma$ completely remembers the group $\Gamma$ and its action on $(X,\mu)$. We prove…

Let $(\mathcal{A}, G, \alpha)$ be a groupoid dynamical system. We show that if $G$ is assumed to be measurewise amenable and the section algebra $A = \Gamma_0(G^{(0)}, \mathcal{A})$ is nuclear, then the associated groupoid crossed product…

Let $p$ be a prime. The right-angled Artin pro-$p$ group $G_{\Gamma}$ associated to a fnite simplicial graph $\Gamma$ is the pro-$p$ completion of the right-angled Artin group associated to $\Gamma$. We prove that the following assertions…

Given a locally finite graph $\Gamma$, an amenable subgroup $G$ of graph automorphisms acting freely and almost transitively on its vertices, and a $G$-invariant activity function $\lambda$, consider the free energy $f_G(\Gamma,\lambda)$ of…

Let $M$ be a locally symmetric irreducible closed manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. A result of Borel [Bo] combined with Mostow rigidity imply that there exists a finite group $G = G(M)$ such that any finite subgroup of $\text{Homeo}^+(M)$ is…

Given an arbitrary, finitely presented, residually finite group $\Gamma$, one can construct a finitely generated, residually finite, free-by-free group $M_\Gamma = F_\infty\rtimes F_4$ and an embedding $M_\Gamma \hookrightarrow (F_4\ast…

A crossed product functor is said to be injective if it takes injective morphisms to injective morphisms. In this paper we show that every locally compact group $G$ admits a maximal injective crossed product $A\mapsto A\rtimes_{\inj}G$.…

In this paper, we construct a seven-term exact sequence involving the cohomology groups of a group extension. Although the existence of such a sequence can be derived using spectral sequence arguments, there is little knowledge about some…

We use variational convergence to derive a hierarchy of one-dimensional rod theories, starting out from three-dimensional models in nonlinear elasticity subject to local volume-preservation. The densities of the resulting $\Gamma$-limits…
