We introduce a new quasi-isometry invariant for finitely generated groups and show that every group with this property admits a subshift which is effectively closed by patterns and that cannot be realized as the topological factor of any…

The fusion rules in $\mathrm{Rep}_f D(G)$ for a finite group $G$ can be computed in terms of character inner products. Using an explicit formula for these fusion rules, we show that $\mathrm{Rep}_f D(G)$ is multiplicity free for two…

We consider the problem of deciding if a group is the fundamental group of a smooth connected complex quasi-projective (or projective) variety using Alexander-based invariants. In particular, we solve the problem for large families of…

This manuscript represents the author's PhD dissertation thesis.The first part studies decision problems in Thompson's groups F,T,V and some generalizations. The simultaneous conjugacy problem is determined to be solvable for Thompson's…

We study groups of formal diffeomorphisms in several complex variables. For abelian, metabelian or nilpotent groups we investigate the existence of suitable formal vector fields and closed differential forms which exhibit an invariance…

We show that on the four-symbol full shift, there is a finitely generated subgroup of the automorphism group whose action is (set-theoretically) transitive of all orders on the points of finite support, up to the necessary caveats due to…

We construct the first examples of residually finite amenable groups that are not Hilbert-Schmidt (HS) stable. We construct finitely generated, class 3 nilpotent by cyclic examples and solvable linear finitely presented examples. This also…

For a wide class of groups including polycyclic and finitely generated polynomial growth groups it is proved that the Reidemeister number of an automorphism f is equal to the number of finite-dimensional fixed points of the induced map f^…

We classify all non-degenerate skew-hermitian forms defined over certain local rings, not necessarily commutative, and study some of the fundamental properties of the associated unitary groups, including their orders when the ring in…

For nonuniform cofinite Fuchsian groups $\Gamma$ which satisfy a certain additional geometric condition, we show that the Maass cusp forms for $\Gamma$ are isomorphic to 1-eigenfunctions of a finite-term transfer operator. The isomorphism…

In two previous papers the author presented a general construction of finite, fiber- and orientation-preserving group actions on orientable Seifert manifolds. In this paper we restrict our attention to elliptic 3-manifolds. A proof is given…

This paper addresses questions of quasi-isometric rigidity and classification for fundamental groups of finite graphs of groups, under the assumption that the Bass-Serre tree of the graph of groups has finite depth. The main example of a…

This is the fourth and last in a series of four papers (with research announcement posted on this arXiv) that develop a decomposition theory for subgroups of $\text{Out}(F_n)$. In this paper we develop general ping-pong techniques for the…

Let $k$ be a perfect field. Assume that the characteristic of $k$ satisfies certain tameness assumptions \eqref{tameness}. Let $\mathcal O_{_n} := k\llbracket z_{_1}, \ldots, z_{_n}\rrbracket$ and set $K_{_n} := \text{Fract}~\cO_{_n}$. Let…

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…

We develop a notion of groups that act acylindrically and non-elementarily on simplicial trees, which we call acylindrically arboreal groups. We then prove a complete classification of when graph products of groups and the fundamental…

We establish the structure of finite groups with $\mathfrak{F}$-subnormal or self-normalizing primary cyclic subgroups in case $\mathfrak{F}$ is a subgroup-closed saturated superradical formation containing all nilpotent groups.

Let $R$ be a semilocal Dedekind domain. Under certain assumptions, we show that two (not necessarily unimodular) hermitian forms over an $R$-algebra with involution, which are rationally ismorphic and have isomorphic semisimple coradicals,…

Structure monoids and groups are algebraic invariants of equational varieties. We show how to construct presentations of these objects from coherent categorifications of equational varieties, generalising several results of Dehornoy. We…

Given a fusion system $\mathcal{F}$ defined on a $p$-group $S$, there exist infinite group models, constructed by Leary and Stancu, and Robinson, that realize $\mathcal{F}$. We study these models when $\mathcal{F}$ is a fusion system of a…
