This is a survey of recent progress in several areas of combinatorial algebra. We consider combinatorial problems about free groups, polynomial algebras, free associative and Lie algebras. Our main idea is to study automorphisms and, more…

W.~Magnus' representations of submonoids $ E \leq \mbox{End}(F) $ of the endomorphisms of a free group $ F $ of finite rank are generalised by identifying them with the first homology group of $ F $ with particular coefficient modules. By…

In January 1969, Peter M. Neumann wrote a paper entitled "Primitive permutation groups of degree 3p". The main theorem placed restrictions on the parameters of a primitive but not 2-transitive permutation group of degree three times a…

I introduce modal group theory, in which we study the category of all groups, considering embeddability as providing a notion of modal possibility. Using HNN extensions and Britton's lemma, I demonstrate that the modal language of groups is…

In this paper we prove the theorem on freedom for free products with a single relation (analogous with the well-known result of Magnus) and a generalized Freiheitssatz for free products (analogous with the well-known result of Romanovski)

Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that the Freiheitssatz holds for brace algebras, the word problem for the brace algebras with a single defining relation is decidable, two generated subalgebras of free brace algebras are free,…

We define invariants of words in arbitrary groups, measuring how letters in a word are interleaving, perfectly detecting the dimension series of a group. These are the letter-braiding invariants. On free groups, braiding invariants coincide…

This communication records some observations made in the course of studying one-relator groups from the point of view of residual solvability. As a contribution to clas- sification efforts we single out some relator types that render the…

We redefine a multiplicative group structure on the set of equivalence classes of rational sequences satisfying a fixed linear recurrence of degree two, which was defined by R. R. Laxton in his paper "On groups of linear recurrences I"…

It was conjectured by H. Zassenhaus that a torsion unit of an integral group ring of a finite group is conjugate to a group element within the rational group algebra. The object of this note is the computational aspect of a method developed…

Previously, the authors proved that the presentation complex of a one-relator group $G$ satisfies a geometric condition called negative immersions if every two-generator, one-relator subgroup of $G$ is free. Here, we prove that one-relator…
