We show that every non-decreasing function $f\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ bounded from above by $a^n$ for some $a\ge 1$ can be realized (up to a natural equivalence) as the conjugacy growth function of a finitely generated group. We also…

We construct a polynomial-time algorithm that given a graph $X$ with $4p$ vertices ($p$ is prime), finds (if any) a Cayley representation of $X$ over the group $C_2\times C_2\times C_p$. This result, together with the known similar result…

We prove that if G is SL_2(F) or PSL_2(F), where F is a finite field, and A is a set of generators of G, then either |AAA| > |A|^(1+epsilon), where epsilon is an absolute positive real number, or AAA=G. As a corollary we get that the…

We give a new proof of a theorem of D. Calegari that says that the Cayley graph of a surface group with respect to any generating set lying in finitely many mapping class group orbits has infinite diameter. This applies, for instance, to…

We introduce a new method of proving upper estimates of growth of finitely generated groups and constructing groups of intermediate growth using graphs of their actions. These estimates are of the form $\exp(n^\alpha)$ for some $\alpha<1$,…

We prove a general version of the amenability conjecture in the unified setting of a Gromov hyperbolic group G acting properly cocompactly either on its Cayley graph, or on a CAT(-1)-space. Namely, for any subgroup H of G, we show that H is…

The class of evolving groups is defined and investigated, as well as their connections to examples in the field of Galois cohomology. Evolving groups are proved to be Sylow Tower groups in a rather strong sense. In addition, evolving groups…

Let $A$ be an abelian group and let $\iota$ be the automorphism of $A$ defined by $i:a\mapsto a^{-1}$. A Cayley graph $\Gamma=\mathrm{Cay}(A,S)$ is said to have an automorphism group \emph{as small as possible} if $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)=…

We develop a method to construct algebraic invariants for hypermatrices. We then construct hyperdeterminants and exhibit a generalization of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem for hypermatrices.

We study the growth of polynomials on semialgebraic sets. For this purpose we associate a graded algebra to the set, and address all kinds of questions about finite generation. We show that for a certain class of sets, the algebra is…

We introduce a method for analyzing the convex hull of a set in non-positively curved piecewise Euclidean polygonal complexes and we apply this method to prove that, with the usual action of Fm x Zn on the metric product of the Cayley graph…

A finitely generated group $\Gamma$ is called strongly scale-invariant if there exists an injective endomorphism $\varphi: \Gamma \to \Gamma$ with the image $\varphi(\Gamma)$ of finite index in $\Gamma$ and the subgroup $\displaystyle…

In this paper we describe a condition under which a given function that commute with an idempotent function on an infinite set is a Cayley function using its functional digraph.

In this paper we address the problem of quantitative classification of Cayley automatic groups in terms of a certain numerical characteristic which we earlier introduced for this class of groups. For this numerical characteristic we…

Symbolic dynamics is partly the study of walks in a directed graph. By a walk, here we mean a morphism to the graph from the Cayley graph of the monoid of non-negative integers. Sets of these walks are also important in other areas, such as…

The idea of applying isoperimetric functions to group theory is due to M.Gromov. We introduce the concept of a ``bicombing of narrow shape'' which generalizes the usual notion of bicombing. Our bicombing is related to but different from the…

We study ancient solutions of polynomial growth to heat equations on graphs, and extend Colding and Minicozzi's theorem [CM19] on manifolds to graphs: For a graph of polynomial volume growth, the dimension of the space of ancient solutions…

We prove that if the Cayley graph of a finitely generated group enjoys the property L_delta then the group is almost convex and has a sub-cubic isoperimetric function.

This paper is devoted to the problem of finding characterizations for Cayley automatic groups. The concept of Cayley automatic groups was recently introduced by Kharlampovich, Khoussainov and Miasnikov. We address this problem by…

We show that a group admits a planar, finitely generated Cayley graph if and only if it admits a special kind of group presentation we introduce, called a planar presentation. Planar presentations can be recognised algorithmically. As a…
