For a group $G$ of finite Kurosh rank and for some arbiratily free product decomposition of $G$, $G = H_1 \ast H_2 \ast ... \ast H_r \ast F_q$, where $F_q$ is a finitely generated free group, we can associate some (relative) outer space…

Gromov constructed uncountably many pairwise non-isomorphic discrete groups with Kazhdan's property (T). We will show that no separable II_1-factor can contain all these groups in its unitary group. In particular, no separable II_1-factor…

Let f: G=* G(i) -> B=* B(i) be a group homomorphism between free products of groups. Suppose that G(i)f=B(i) of all i. Let H be a subgroup of G such that Hf=B. Then H decomposes into a free product H=*H(i) with H(i)f=B(i). Furthermore, H(i)…

Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. Algorithm is constructed such, that for every automorphism $\phi \in Aut(N)$ defines the Reidemeister number $R(\phi).$ It is proved that any free nilpotent group of rank $r = 2$ or $r = 3$…

We study selflessness in the general setting of reduced free products of $C^*$-algebras. Towards this end, we develop a suitable theory of rapid decay for filtrations in arbitrary $C^*$-probability spaces. We provide several natural…

A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for every ordered factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ into integers each greater than $1$ there exist subsets $A_1,\dots,A_k\subseteq G$ such that $|A_i|=a_i$ for each $i$ and $G=A_1\cdots…

We consider homogeneous factor models on uniformly sparse graph sequences converging locally to a (unimodular) random tree $T$, and study the existence of the free energy density $\phi$, the limit of the log-partition function divided by…

We show how to efficiently count and generate uniformly at random finitely generated subgroups of the modular group $\textsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of a given isomorphism type. The method to achieve these results relies on a natural map of…

We study analogues of classical Hilbert transforms as fourier multipliers on free groups. We prove their complete boundedness on non commutative $L^p$ spaces associated with the free group von Neumann algebras for all $1<p<\infty$. This…

In this note, we first work out some `bare hands' computations of the most elementary possible free products involving $\mathbb{C}^2 ~(=\mathbb{C} \oplus \mathbb{C} $) and $M_2 ~(= M_2(\mathbb{C}))$. Using these, we identify all free…

We prove that a semi-direct product of two finite rank free groups $F_k$ and $F_n$ such that $F_k$ acts on $F_n$ by polynomially growing automorphisms acts properly isometrically on a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex provided some…

The Riordan group is a set of infinite lower-triangular matrices defined by two generating functions, $g$ and $f$. The elements of the group are called Riordan arrays, denoted by $(g,f)$, and the $k$th column of a Riordan array is given by…

We construct countable groups $G$ with the following new degree of W*-superrigidity: if $L(G)$ is virtually isomorphic, in the sense of admitting a bifinite bimodule, with any other group von Neumann algebra $L(\Lambda)$, then the groups…

We introduce a density model for random quotients of a free product of finitely generated groups. We prove that a random quotient in this model has the following properties with overwhelming probability: if the density is below $1/2$, the…

We study the question how quickly products of a fixed conjugacy class in the projective unitary group of a II${}_1$-factor von Neumann algebra cover the entire group. Our result is that the number of factors that are needed is essentially…

We obtain some structural properties of a factorised group $G = AB$, given that the conjugacy class sizes of certain elements in $A\cup B$ are not divisible by $p^2$, for some prime $p$. The case when $G = AB$ is a mutually permutable…

We prove in ZFC that if $G$ is a (right) $R$-module such that the groups $\Hom_R(\prod_{i\in I}G_i,G)$ and $\prod_{i\in I}\Hom_R(G_i,G)$ are naturally isomorphic for all families of $R$-modules $(G_i)_{i\in I}$ then G=0. The result is valid…

We construct flows on an amalgamated free product factor and characterize the Rohlin property for them by freeness of $\mathbf{R}\times \mathbf{Z}$ actions on a measured space. As a corolally, it turns out that there exist Rohlin flows on…

The theory of group lifting structures is applied to linear phase lifting factorizations for the two nontrivial classes of two-channel linear phase perfect reconstruction filter banks, the whole- and half-sample symmetric classes. Group…

A group $G$ is invariably generated by a subset $S$ of $G$ if $G= s^{g(s)} \mid s\in S$ for each choice of $g(s) \in G$, $s \in S$. Answering two questions posed by Kantor, Lubotzky and Shalev, we prove that the free prosoluble group of…
