We study model geometries of finitely generated groups. If a finitely generated group does not contain a non-trivial finite rank free abelian commensurated subgroup, we show any model geometry is dominated by either a symmetric space of…

We show that the membership problem in a finitely generated submonoid of a graph group (also called a right-angled Artin group or a free partially commutative group) is decidable if and only if the independence graph (commutation graph) is…

Every self-similar group acts on the space $X^\omega$ of infinite words over some alphabet $X$. We study the Schreier graphs $\Gamma_w$ for $w\in X^\omega$ of the action of self-similar groups generated by bounded automata on the space…

We show that given a collection $X=\{f_1$, \ldots , $f_m\}$ of pure mapping classes on a surface $S$, there is an explicit constant N, depending only on $X$, such that their Nth powers $\{f_1^N$, \ldots , $f_m^N\}$ generate the expected…

Given a finite alphabet $\Lambda$, and a not necessarily finite type subshift $X\subseteq \Lambda^\infty$, we introduce a partial action of the free group $F(\Lambda)$ on a certain compactification $\Omega_X$ of $X$, which we call the…

We construct new examples of expander Cayley graphs of finite groups, arising as congruence quotients of non-elementary subgroups of $SL_2 (\mathbb{F}_p [t])$ modulo certain square-free ideals. We describe some applications of our results…

The study of the free idempotent generated semigroup $\mathrm{IG}(E)$ over a biordered set $E$ began with the seminal work of Nambooripad in the 1970s and has seen a recent revival with a number of new approaches, both geometric and…

In the present paper we continue studying regular free group actions on $\mathbb{Z}^n$-trees. We show that every finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}^n$-free group $G$ can be embedded into a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}^n$-free group $H$ acting…

The superextension $\lambda(X)$ of a set $X$ consists of all maximal linked families on $X$. Any associative binary operation $*: X\times X \to X$ can be extended to an associative binary operation $*:…

Let $A$ be an ordered alphabet, $A^{\ast}$ be the free monoid over $A$ ordered by the Higman ordering, and let $F(A^{\ast})$ be the set of final segments of $A^{\ast}$. With the operation of concatenation, this set is a monoid. We show that…

Given a semilattice $X$ we study the algebraic properties of the semigroup $\upsilon(X)$ of upfamilies on $X$. The semigroup $\upsilon(X)$ contains the Stone-Cech extension $\beta(X)$, the superextension $\lambda(X)$, and the space of…

Let F be the (Thompson's) group < x_0, x_1 | [x_0x_1^-1, x_0^-ix_1 x_0^i], i=1,2 >. We study the structure of F-limit groups. Let G_n= < y_1,..., y_m, x_0,x_1 | [x_0x_1^-1,x_0^-1x_1x_0],[x_0x_1^-1,x_0^-2x_1x_0^2], y_j^-1g_j,n(x_0,x_1),…

The classical notion of a k-automatic subset of the natural numbers is here extended to that of an F-automatic subset of an arbitrary finitely generated abelian group $\Gamma$ equipped with an arbitrary endomorphism F. This is applied to…

We prove the following results: (1) Every group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup. (2) Every finitely presented group is a maximal subgroup of some free idempotent generated semigroup arising from a finite…

We introduce a new class of arrangements of hyperplanes, called (strictly) plus-one generated arrangements, from algebraic point of view. Plus-one generatedness is close to freeness, i.e., plus-one generated arrangements have their…

Numerical semigroups with multiplicity $m$ are parameterized by integer points in a polyhedral cone $C_m$, according to Kunz. For the toric ideal of any such semigroup, the main result here constructs a free resolution whose overall…

In this paper we start the inquiry into proving uniform exponential growth in the context of groups acting on CAT(0) cube complexes. We address free group actions on CAT(0) square complexes and prove a more general statement. This says that…

We refine the construction of quasi-homomorphisms on mapping class groups. It is useful to know that there are unbounded quasi-homomorphisms which are bounded when restricted to particular subgroups since then one deduces that the mapping…

Let G be any finitely generated infinite group. Denote by K(G) the FC-centre of G, i.e., the subgroup of all elements of G whose centralizers are of finite index in G. Let QI(G) denote the group of quasi-isometries of G with respect to word…

For every finitely generated free group $F$, we construct an irreducible open $3$-manifold $M_F$ whose end set is homeomorphic to a Cantor set, and with the end homogeneity group of $M_F$ isomorphic to $F$. The end homogeneity group is the…
