Many groups possess highly symmetric generating sets that are naturally endowed with an underlying combinatorial structure. Such generating sets can prove to be extremely useful both theoretically in providing new existence proofs for…
We consider the question whether a Sylow like theorem is valid in the normalized units of integral group rings of finite groups. After a short survey on the known results we show that this is the case for integral group rings of Frobenius…
We study groups endowed with Alexandroff topologies and show that no non-discrete Alexandroff topology can turn a group into a topological group. This settles negatively the basic existence problem for Alexandroff topological groups.…
We prove several results on the model theory of Artin groups, focusing on Artin groups which are ``far from right-angled Artin groups''. The first result is that if $\mathcal{C}$ is a class of Artin groups whose irreducible components are…
A large class of positive finite presentations of the braid groups is found and studied. It is shown that no presentations but known exceptions in this class have the property that equivalent braid words are also equivalent under positive…
We generalize one part of Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem to arbitrary-rank semisimple Lie groups by showing that certain deformations of extended geometrically finite subgroups of a semisimple Lie group are still extended…
A recent conjecture of the author and Teng Fang states that there are only finitely many finite simple groups with no cubic graphical regular representation. In this paper, we make a crucial progress towards this conjecture by giving an…
In this paper, we survey some of the recent advances on embeddings into finitely generated (left-orderable) simple group such that the overgroup preserves algorithmic, geometric, or algebraic information about the embedded group. We discuss…
We prove that every {finitely generated residually finite}-by-sofic group satisfies Kaplansky's direct and stable finiteness conjectures with respect to all noetherian rings. We use this result to provide countably many new examples of…
We construct an explicit infinite family of pairwise non-isomorphic infinite simple groups of type $\mathrm{F}_\infty$ (in particular, they are finitely presented) that act faithfully on the circle by orientation-preserving homeomorphisms,…
In this paper we produce many examples of thin subgroups of special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds. Specifically, we show that the non-arithmetic lattices in…
In this short note we provide an alternative proof of a theorem of Kapovich and Millson about the Malcev completion of an arbitrary Artin group, and determine the Malcev completion of the braid group of an irreducible finite complex…
Every countable group that does not contain a finitely generated subgroup of exponential growth imbeds in a finitely generated group of subexponential growth. This produces in particular the first examples of groups of subexponential growth…
We exhibit infinite, solvable, virtually abelian groups with a fixed number of generators, having arbitrarily large balls consisting of torsion elements. We also provide a sequence of 3-generator non-virtually nilpotent polycyclic groups of…
We show that the standard set of elementary generators of an elementary isotropic reductive group over a connected finitely generated ring is a Kazhdan subset. This generalizes the corresponding result of M. Ershov, A. Jaikin-Zapirain, and…
The main objective of this paper is the following two results. (1) There exists a computable bi-orderable group that does not have a computable bi-ordering; (2) There exists a bi-orderable, two-generated recursively presented solvable group…
The goal of this note is to provide yet another proof of the following theorem of Golod: there exists an infinite finitely generated group $G$ such that every element of $G$ has finite order. Our proof is based on the Nielsen-Schreier index…
This article focuses on the study of the group of units of incidence rings, which is a class of infinite matrix groups indexed by ordered sets, on a topological perspective. We first show when these groups can inherit the topological…
We show that the finitely generated simple left orderable groups $G_{\rho}$ constructed by the first two authors in arXiv:1807.06478 are uniformly perfect - each element in the group can be expressed as a product of three commutators of…
This note will present a new proof of the fact that every uniformly bounded group of invertible elements in a finite von Neumann algebra is similar to a unitary group. The proof involves metric geometric arguments in the non-positively…
