We consider principal bundles as generalized morphisms between topological groupoids. In the category of these generalized morphisms two topological groupoids are isomorphic if and only if they are Morita equivalent. We show that the fibers…

We characterize when a generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is linear, and extend the result to the fundamental groups of a graph of groups with infinite virtually cyclic vertex and edge groups.

We characterise when a rank $n$ generalised Baumslag-Solitar group is CAT(0) and when it is biautomatic.

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

We introduce separability properties corresponding to generalized versions of the conjugacy, twisted conjugacy, Brinkmann and Brinkmann's conjugacy problems and how they relate when finite and cyclic extensions of groups are taken. In…

We construct a family of hyperbolic link complements by gluing tangles along totally geodesic four-punctured spheres, then investigate the commensurability relation among its members. Those with different volume are incommensurable,…

The long-standing problem of the perfectness of the compactly supported equivariant homeomorphism group on a $G$-manifold (with one orbit type) is solved in the affirmative. The proof is based on an argument different than that for the case…

The arguments of Cannon, Floyd, Grayson and Thurston showing that solve geometry groups are not almost convex also show that solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups are not almost convex.

We provide non-isomorphic finite 2-groups which have isomorphic group algebras over any field of characteristic 2, thus settling the Modular Isomorphism Problem.

Let $G$ be a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over $\mathbb C$, and let $\Gamma$ be a cocompact lattice in $G$. We prove that any invariant bundle on $G/\Gamma$ is semistable.

We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these…

We define fully irreducible automorphisms of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups in analogy with fully irreducible automorphisms of free groups. We first obtain a characterization of fully irreducible automorphisms analogous to a condition…

We prove that each residually finite Baumslag-Solitar group can be distinguished by its finite quotients from all other residually finite Baumslag-Solitar groups.

A class of one-relator groups such that every group in the class is determined by a triple of integers and is an HNN-extension of some Baumslag -- Solitar group is considered. A criterion for two groups in this class to be isomorphic and…

Let $\Gamma=\langle a,b | a b^{p} a^{-1} = b^{q}\rangle$ be a Baumslag--Solitar group and $G$ be a complex reductive algebraic group with maximal compact subgroup $K<G$. We show that, when $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime with distinct…

We show that the isomorphism problem is solvable in the class of central extensions of word-hyperbolic groups, and that the isomorphism problem for biautomatic groups reduces to that for biautomatic groups with finite centre. We describe an…

In this article, we solve the twisted conjugacy problem with respect to endomorphisms for solvable Baumslag--Solitar groups $BS(1,n)$, i.e., we propose an algorithm which, given two elements $u,v \in BS(1,n)$ and an endomorphism $\psi \in…

This paper has two parts, on Baumslag-Solitar groups and on general G-trees. In the first part we establish bounds for stable commutator length (scl) in Baumslag-Solitar groups. For a certain class of elements, we further show that scl is…

The BFV-formalism was introduced to handle classical systems, equipped with symmetries. It associates a differential graded Poisson algebra to any coisotropic submanifold $S$ of a Poisson manifold $(M,\Pi)$. However the assignment…

Finding necessary and sufficient conditions for isomorphism between two semigroups of order-preserving transformations over an infinite domain with restricted range was an open problem in \cite{FHQS}. In this paper, we show a proof strategy…
