We prove two isomorphism-invariance theorems for groupoids associated with ultragraphs. These theorems characterize ultragraphs for which the topological full group of an associated groupoid is an isomorphism invariant. These results extend…
Considering systems of separations in a graph that separate every pair of a given set of vertex sets that are themselves not separated by these separations, we determine conditions under which such a separation system contains a nested…
We conjecture that the balanced complete bipartite graph $K_{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor,\lceil n/2 \rceil}$ contains more cycles than any other $n$-vertex triangle-free graph, and we make some progress toward proving this. We give equivalent…
We classify the trees on $n$ vertices with the maximum and the minimum number of certain generalized colorings, including conflict-free, odd, non-monochromatic, star, and star rainbow vertex colorings. We also extend a result of Cutler and…
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…
Let T be a tree with an action of a finitely generated group G. Given a suitable equivalence relation on the set of edge stabilizers of T (such as commensurability, co-elementarity in a relatively hyperbolic group, or commutation in a…
A subgroup of a finite group G is said to be second maximal if it is maximal in every maximal subgroup of G that contains it. A question which has received considerable attention asks: can every positive integer occur as the number of the…
For any compact oriented manifold $M$, we show that that the top degree multi-vector fields transverse to the zero section of $\wedge^{\text{top}}TM$ are classified, up to orientation preserving diffeomorphism, in terms of the topology of…
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 expand the class of linear symmetric equations for which large sets with no non-trivial solutions are known. Our idea is based on first finding a small set with no solutions and then enlarging it to arbitrary size using a…
Reid asked whether all convex-cocompact subgroups of mapping class groups are separable. Using a construction of Manning-Mj-Sageev, we give examples of separable convex-cocompact subgroups that are free of arbitrary finite rank, while prior…
We consider sequences of finite weighted random graphs that converge locally to unimodular i.i.d. weighted random trees. When the weights are atomless, we prove that the matchings of maximal weight converge locally to a matching on the…
Graphs with bounded treewidth and bounded maximum degree are known to have tree-partitions of bounded width. What can be said if the bounded treewidth assumption is strengthened to bounded pathwidth? We prove that every graph with bounded…
It is pointed out that if we allow for the possibility of a multilayered universe, it is possible to maintain exact supersymmetry and arrange, in principle, for the vanishing of the cosmological constant. Superpartner(s) of a known particle…
We give various characterizations of the covering dimension of the limit space of a contracting self-similar group. In particular, we show that it is equal to the minimal dimension of a contracting affine model, to the asymptotic dimension…
Consider a group G and a family $\mathcal{A}$ of subgroups of G. We say that vertex finiteness holds for splittings of G over $\mathcal{A}$ if, up to isomorphism, there are only finitely many possibilities for vertex stabilizers of minimal…
Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, and S the ideal boundary of the corresponding symmetric space of noncompact type (H^n_R, H^n_C, H^n_H or H^2_O). We show the finiteness of the possible values of the secondary characteristic…
In this paper we present geometric features of group based models. We focus on the 3-Kimura model. We present a precise geometric description of the variety associated to any tree on a Zariski open set. In particular this set contains all…
We will say that an infinite tree $T$ is almost a ray if $T$ is the union of a ray and a finite tree. Let $l$ be a non-degenerate labeling of the vertex set $V$ of almost a ray $T$ and let $d_l$ be the corresponding ultrametric on $V$. It…
We consider absolutely free nonassociative algebras and, more generally, absolutely free algebras with (maybe infinitely) many multilinear operations. Such algebras are described in terms of labeled reduced planar rooted trees. This allows…
