We prove that the only non-trivial finite subgroups of birational automorphism group of non-trivial Severi--Brauer surfaces over the field of rational numbers are~$\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}$ and $(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})^2.$ Moreover, we show…
We prove that the abstract commensurator of a nonabelian free group, an infinite surface group, or more generally of a group that splits appropriately over a cyclic subgroup, is not finitely generated. This applies in particular to all…
This paper continues the investigation of non-zero determinants associated with finite semigroups containing a pair of non-commuting idempotents, as initiated in~\cite{Sha-Det2}. We focus on a class of semigroups, called \( \lll \)-smooth…
Take $S \subset \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}) \times \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\times \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ be finite symmetric and assume $S$ generates a group $G$ which is Zariski-dense in $\mathrm{SL}_2 \times \mathrm{SL}_2\times…
We provide a formula for the splitting of a congruence subgroup of SL$(3,\mathbb{R})$ into the double cover of SL$(3,\mathbb{R})$ in terms of Pl\"{u}cker coordinates and prove that the splitting satisfies a twisted multiplicativity. The…
We prove that any finitely generated torsion free solvable subgroup of the group ${\rm IET}$ of all Interval Exchange Transformations is virtually abelian. In contrast, the lamplighter groups $A\wr \mathbb{Z}^k$ embed in ${\rm IET}$ for…
It is known that the level $2$ principal congruence subgroup of $GL(n;\mathbb{Z})$ has a finite generating set. In this paper, we give a finite presentation of the level $2$ principal congruence subgroup of $GL(n;\mathbb{Z})$.
We classify all triples $(G,V,H)$ such that $SL_n(q)\leq G\leq GL_n(q)$, $V$ is a representation of $G$ of dimension greater than one over an algebraically closed field $\FF$ of characteristic coprime to $q$, and $H$ is a proper subgroup of…
We study and classify the purely parabolic discrete subgroups of $PSL(3,\Bbb{C})$. This includes all discrete subgroups of the Heisenberg group ${\rm Heis}(3,\Bbb{C})$. While for $PSL(2,\Bbb{C})$ every purely parabolic subgroup is Abelian…
For a number field K, we show that any S-arithmetic subgroup of SL_2(K) contains a subgroup of finite index generated by three elements if card(S)> 1.
A subgroup of a finite group is wide if each prime divisor of the group order divides the subgroup order. We obtain the description of finite soluble groups with no wide subgroups. We also prove that a finite soluble group with nilpotent…
We construct Zariski-dense surface subgroups in infinitely many commensurability classes of uniform lattices of the split real Lie groups $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})$, $\operatorname{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$, $\operatorname{SO}(k+1,k)$, and…
For a given variety of groups $\X$, we develop a systematic theory of $\CSX$-groups and $\XT$-groups, extending ideas proposed in \cite{Shah}. We analyze the interplay between these classes, describe their structural properties, and examine…
We use the properties of the refined Bloch group of a field to prove that H_3 of SL_2 of a global field is never finitely generated, and to calculate - up to some 2-torsion - H_3 of SL_2 of local fields with finite residue field of odd…
We give an algorithm for working out the indecomposable direct summands in a Krull--Schmidt decomposition of a tensor product of two simple modules for G=SL_3 in characteristics 2 and 3. It is shown that there is a finite family of modules…
We show that real semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank contain (infinitely generated) discrete subgroups with full limit sets in the corresponding Furstenberg boundaries. Additionally, we provide criteria under which discrete subgroups of…
We construct uncountably categorical 3-nilpotent groups of exponent p > 3. They are not one-based and do not allow the interpretation of an infinite field. Therefore they are counterexamples to Zilbers Conjecture. First 2-nilpotent new…
Let $\mathcal{O}$ be the ring of integers of a number field, and let $n\geq 3$. This paper studies bi-interpretability of the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ with the special linear group $\text{SL}_n(\mathcal{O})$, the general linear group…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $L$ and for a finite set $S$ of primes, let $\rho_{E,S} : {\rm Gal}(\overline{L}/L) \to {\rm GL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}_{S})$ be the $S$-adic Galois representation. If $L \cap \mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{n}) =…
Let G be an arithmetic Kleinian group, and let O be the associated hyperbolic 3-orbifold or 3-manifold. In this paper, we prove that, in many cases, G is large, which means that some finite index subgroup admits a surjective homomorphism…
