We show that if $G$ is a finitely generated group such that its profinite completion $\widehat{G}$ is ``far from being projective'' (that is the kernel of the universal Frattini cover of $\widehat{G}$ is not a small profinite group), then…

We develop cohomological and homological theories for a profinite group $G$ with coefficients in the Pontryagin dual categories of pro-discrete and ind-profinite $G$-modules, respectively. The standard results of group (co)homology hold for…

We study the Hopf property for wreath products of finitely generated groups, focusing on the case of an abelian base group. Our main result establishes a strong connection between this problem and Kaplansky's stable finiteness conjecture.…

Let $ L/K $ be a finite separable extension of fields whose Galois closure $ E/K $ has group $ G $. Greither and Pareigis have used Galois descent to show that a Hopf algebra giving a Hopf-Galois structure on $ L/K $ has the form $ E[N]^{G}…

In this article, we prove that if a finitely generated group $G$ is not torsion then a necessary and sufficient condition for every full shift over $G$ has (continuous) cocycle superrigidity is that $G$ has one end. It is a topological…

We develop a mechanism for classication of isomorphism types of non-trivial semisimple Hopf algebras whose group of grouplikes $G(H)$ is abelian of prime index $p$ which is the smallest prime divisor of $|G(H)|$. We describe structure of…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group acting faithfully and properly discontinuously by homeomorphisms on a planar surface $X \subseteq \mathbb{S}^2$. We prove that $G$ admits such an action that is in addition co-compact, provided we can…

We show that a profinite completion functor for (simplicial or topological) operads with good homotopical properties can be constructed as a left Quillen functor from an appropriate model category of infinity-operads to a certain model…

Let p be a prime, and denote the class of radically graded finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras over C, whose radical has codimension p, by RG(p). The purpose of this paper is to continue the structure theory of finite dimensional…

For $S=S_{g,n}$ a closed orientable differentiable surface of genus $g$ from which $n$ points have been removed, such that $\chi(S)=2-2g-n<0$, let $\mathrm{P}\Gamma(S)$ be the pure mapping class group of $S$ and…

We present a construction that yields infinite families of non-isomorphic semidirect products $N \rtimes F_m$ sharing a specified profinite completion. Within each family, $m \ge 2$ is constant and $N$ is a fixed group. For $m=2$ we can…

The article deals with profinite groups in which the centralizers are abelian (CA-groups), that is, with profinite commutativity-transitive groups. It is shown that such groups are virtually pronilpotent. More precisely, let G be a…

Let $U$ be a unipotent group which is graded in the sense that it has an extension $H$ by the multiplicative group of the complex numbers such that all the weights of the adjoint action on the Lie algebra of $U$ are strictly positive. We…

We study in detail the profinite group G arising as geometric \'etale iterated monodromy group of an arbitrary quadratic morphism f with an infinite postcritical orbit over a field of characteristic different from two. This is a…

We show that the group constructed in the 2004 paper 'A 2-generated just-infinite profinite group which is not positively finitely generated' by A. Lucchini is in fact hereditarily just infinite and contains every countably based profinite…

Finitely generated (non-abelian) free metabelian pro-p groups, and wreath products of f.g. free abelian pro-p groups, are all finitely axiomatizable in the class of all profinite groups.

A group $G$ is called hereditarily non-topologizable if, for every $H\le G$, no quotient of $H$ admits a non-discrete Hausdorff topology. We construct first examples of infinite hereditarily non-topologizable groups. This allows us to prove…

A topological group G is profinite if it is compact and totally disconnected. Equivalently, G is the inverse limit of a surjective system of finite groups carrying the discrete topology. We discuss how to represent a countably based…

Recently, Paolini and Shelah have constructed absolutely Hopfian torsion-free abelian groups of any given size. In contrast, we show that this is not necessarily the case for absolutely co-Hopfian groups. We use the infinitary logic to show…

This paper shows that the sheaf representation of finitely presented Heyting algebras constructed by Ghilardi and Zawadowski is, from an algebraic perspective, equivalent to the construction of profinite completion. We show that the dual…
