Every countable group that does not contain a finitely generated subgroup of exponential growth imbeds in a finitely generated group of subexponential growth. This produces in particular the first examples of groups of subexponential growth…

In this paper, we obtain a new proof result of Shlyakhtenko which states that if $G$ is a sofic, finitely presented group with vanishing first $\ell^2$-Betti number, then $L(G)$ is strongly 1-bounded. Our proof of this result adapts and…

Let $G$ be a group that is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of subgroups $\{H_{\lambda}\}_{\lambda\in \Lambda}$. Suppose that $G$ is given by a finite relative presentation $\mathcal{P}$ with respect to this collection. We…

We provide a uniform vanishing result for the graded components of the finite length Koszul module associated to a subspace K inside the second exterior product of a vector space, as well as a sharp upper bound for its Hilbert function.…

Suppose that a group $G$ acts non-elementarily on a hyperbolic space $S$ and does not fix any point of $\partial S$. A subgroup $H\le G$ is said to be geometrically dense in $G$ if the limit sets of $H$ and $G$ coincide and $H$ does not fix…

In 1987, Ornstein and Weiss discovered that the Bernoulli $2$-shift over the rank two free group factors onto the seemingly larger Bernoulli $4$-shift. With the recent creation of an entropy theory for actions of sofic groups (in particular…

In this paper we study numerical semigroups of Sally type of multiplicity $e$ and embedding dimension $\nu \ge e-2$. We construct the minimal resolutions for these semigroup rings when they are symmetric and compute their Betti numbers. We…

Let $G$ be a split $p$-adic reductive group with connected centre and simply connected derived subgroup. We show that certain "chains" of principal series of $G$ do not exist and we establish several properties of the Breuil-Herzig…

We consider largeness of groups given by a presentation of deficiency 1, where the group is respectively free-by-cyclic, LERF or 1-relator. We give the first examples of (finitely generated free)-by-(infinite cyclic) word hyperbolic groups…

For a given divison algebra of the quaternions we construct two types of units: Pell units and Gauss units. If K is a rational quadratic extension and G is a finite group, we classify R and G, s.t., the unit group U(RG) of augmentation one…

We prove that if $G$ is an abelian group and $H_1x_1,\dots,H_{k}x_k$ is an irredundant (minimal) cover of $G$ with cosets, then $$|G:\bigcap_{i=1}^{k}H_{i}|=2^{O(k)}.$$ This bound is the best possible up to the constant hidden in the…

Numerical data concerning the growth of torsion in the first homology of non-arithmetic hyperbolic tetrahedral groups are collected. The data provide support the speculations of Bergeron and Venkatesh on the growth of torsion homology and…

Motivated by the initial-boundary value problem for the Einstein equations, we propose a definition of symmetric hyperbolicity for systems of evolution equations that are first order in time but second order in space. This can be used to…

In a 2008 paper Ellenberg suggested a strategy to improve the known upper bounds for the $\ell$-torsion part of class groups of number fields of fixed degree $d$. Motivated by this he proposed a question about the number of primitive…

The paper deals with initial-boundary value problems for linear non-autonomous first order hyperbolic systems whose solutions stabilize to zero in a finite time. We prove that problems in this class remain exponentially stable in $L^2$ as…

Let $P$ be a finite $p$-group and $p$ be an odd prime. Let $\mathcal{A}_p(P)_{\geq2}$ be a poset consisting of elementary abelian subgroups of rank at least 2. If the derived subgroup $P'\cong C_p\times C_p$, then the spheres occurring in…

We prove a theorem describing the limiting fine-scale statistics of orbits of a point in hyperbolic space under the action of a discrete subgroup. Similar results have been proved only in the lattice case, with two recent infinite-volume…

If $G_1$ and $G_2$ are torsion-free hyperbolic groups and $P<G_1\times G_2$ is a finitely generated subdirect product, then the conjugacy problem in $P$ is solvable if and only if there is a uniform algorithm to decide membership of the…

In this article we explore a non-abelian torsion theory in the category of preordered groups: the objects of its torsion-free subcategory are the partially ordered groups, whereas the objects of the torsion subcategory are groups (with the…

Jaligot's Lemma states that the Fitting subgroups of distinct Borel subgroups do not intersect in a tame minimal simple groups of finite Morley. Such a strong result appears hopeless without tameness. Here we use the 0-unipotence theory to…
