Assuming the existence of $\mathfrak c$ incomparable selective ultrafilters, we classify the non-torsion Abelian groups of cardinality $\mathfrak c$ that admit a countably compact group topology. We show that for each $\kappa \in [\mathfrak…
In this paper we give a number of explicit constructions for II$_1$ factors and II$_1$ equivalence relations that have prescribed fundamental group and outer automorphism group. We construct factors and relations that have uncountable…
Separability is one of the most basic and important topological properties. In this paper, the separability in (strongly) topological gyrogroups is studied. It is proved that every first-countable left {\omega}-narrow strongly topological…
We consider actions of non-compact simple Lie groups preserving an analytic rigid geometric structure of algebraic type on a compact manifold. The structure is not assumed to be unimodular, so an invariant measure may not exist. Ergodic…
Let $G$ be a right-angled Artin group with $|\mathrm{Out}(G)|<+\infty$. We prove that if a countable group $H$ with bounded torsion is measure equivalent to $G$, with an $L^1$-integrable measure equivalence cocycle towards $G$, then $H$ is…
The classical archipelago is a non-contractible subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ which is homeomorphic to a disk except at one non-manifold point. Its fundamental group, $\mathcal{A}$, is the quotient of the topologist's product of $\mathbb Z$, the…
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 study Farrell Nil-groups associated to a finite order automorphism of a ring $R$. We show that any such Farrell Nil-group is either trivial, or infinitely generated (as an abelian group). Building on this first result, we then show that…
A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for any factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ with $a_i>1$ there exist subsets $A_i$ of $G$ with $|A_i|=a_i$ such that $G=A_1\cdots A_k$. We say that $G$ is \textit{multifold-factorizable} if $G$…
We provide a family of group measure space II_1 factors for which all finite index subfactors can be explicitly listed. In particular, the set of all indices of irreducible subfactors can be computed. Concrete examples show that this index…
We prove that any topological group $G$ containing a subspace $X$ of the Sorgenfrey line has spread $s(G)\ge s(X\times X)$. Under OCA, each topological group containing an uncountable subspace of the Sorgenfrey line has uncountable spread.…
Let $\tau$ be an uncountable cardinal. The notion of a \emph{$\tau$-fine} topological group was introduced in 2021. More recently, H. Zhang et al. generalized this concept by defining pseudo-$\tau$-fine topological groups to study certain…
In a compact abelian group $X$, a characterized subgroup is a subgroup $H$ such that there exists a sequence of characters $\vs=(v_n)$ of $X$ such that $H=\{x\in X:v_n(x)\to 0 \text{ in } \T\}$. Gabriyelyan proved for $X=\T$, that…
In this paper we describe some properties of groups $G$ that contain a solvable subgroup of finite prime-power index (Theorem 1 and Corollaries 2--3). We prove that if $G$ is a non-solvable group that contains a solvable subgroup of index…
We show that a topologically generating set $S$ of a connected compact Lie group $G$ of size larger than a fixed polynomial in the rank of $G$ must be redundant (i.e., some proper subset of $S$ still topologically generates $G$). Similar…
A {\it graph product} $G$ on a graph $\Gamma$ is a group defined as follows: For each vertex $v$ of $\Gamma$ there is a corresponding non-trivial group $G_v$. The group $G$ is the quotient of the free product of the $G_v$ by the commutation…
We show that every finitely-generated non-amenable linear group over a field of characteristic zero admits an ergodic action which is rigid in the sense of Popa. If this group has trivial solvable radical, we prove that these actions can be…
It is proved that each of compact linear groups of one special type admits a polynomial factorization map onto a real vector space. More exactly, the group is supposed to be non-commutative one-dimensional and to have two connected…
We continue the analysis of definably compact groups definable in a real closed field $\mathcal{R}$. In [3], we proved that for every definably compact definably connected semialgebraic group $G$ over $\mathcal{R}$ there are a connected…
We consider the class of finitely generated groups which have a normal form computable in logspace. We prove that the class of such groups is closed under finite extensions, finite index subgroups, direct products, wreath products, and also…
