We obtain an explicit description of the endomorphisms of free-abelian by free groups together with a characterization of when they are injective and surjective. As a consequence we see that free-abelian by free groups are Hopfian and not…

Using a result of Kari and Ollinger, we prove that the torsion problem for elements of the Brin-Thompson group 2V is undecidable. As a result, we show that there does not exist an algorithm to determine whether an element of the rational…

We construct and study finitely presented groups with quadratic Dehn function (QD-groups) and present the following applications of the method developed in our recent papers. (1) The isomorphism problem is undecidable in the class of…

This paper proves that a plactic monoid of any finite rank will have decidable first order theory. This resolves other open decidability problems about the finite rank plactic monoids, such as the Diophantine problem and identity checking.…

We prove that the Diophantine problem for spherical quadratic equations in free metabelian groups is solvable and, moreover, NP-complete

In this paper we obtain three undecidable results for exponential diophantine equations over the field $\mathbb Q$ of rational numbers. For example, we prove that there is no algorithm to decide the solvability of a general exponential…

We investigate fixed-point properties of automorphisms of groups similar to R. Thompson's group $F$. Revisiting work of Gon\c{c}alves-Kochloukova, we deduce a cohomological criterion to detect infinite fixed-point sets in the…

For any sufficiently strong theory of arithmetic, the set of Diophantine equations provably unsolvable in the theory is algorithmically undecidable, as a consequence of the MRDP theorem. In contrast, we show decidability of Diophantine…

We introduce a refinement of bounded cohomology and prove that the suitable comparison homomorphisms vanish for an amenable group. We investigate in this context Thompson's group F and provide further evidence towards its amenability. We…

We show that the free group of rank 2 is a limit of 2-markings of Thompson's group F in the space of all 2-marked groups. More specifically, we find a sequence of generating pairs for F so that as one goes out the sequence, the length of…

One way to show that Thompson's group F is non-amenable is to exhibit an action of F on a locally compact CAT(0) space X containing no F-invariant flats and having no global fixed points in its boundary-at-infinity. We study the actions of…

For a finitely generated group $G$, the \emph{Diophantine problem} over $G$ is the algorithmic problem of deciding whether a given equation $W(z_1,z_2,\ldots,z_k) = 1$ (perhaps restricted to a fixed subclass of equations) has a solution in…

We show that the equation in the title (with $\Phi_m$ the $m$th cyclotomic polynomial) has no integer solution with $n\ge 1$ in the cases $(m,p)=(15,41), (15,5581),(10,271)$. These equations arise in a recent group theoretical investigation…

In this paper we investigate computational properties of the Diophantine problem for spherical equations in some classes of finite groups. We classify the complexity of different variations of the problem, e.g., when $G$ is fixed and when…

Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…
