We define and study extensions of Artin's representation and braid monodromy representation to the case of topological and algebraical generalisations of braid groups. In particular we provide faithful representations of braid groups of…

Let $N$ be a compact, connected, non-orientable surface of genus $\rho$ with $n$ boundary components, with $\rho \ge 5$ and $n \ge 0$, and let $\mathcal{M} (N)$ be the mapping class group of $N$. We show that, if $\mathcal{G}$ is a finite…

In a stable theory, a stationary type $q \in S(A)$ internal to a family of partial types $\mathcal{P}$ over $A$ gives rise to a type-definable group, called its binding group. This group is isomorphic to the group…

Given an Artin group $A$ and a parabolic subgroup $P$, we study if every two elements of $P$ that are conjugate in $A$, are also conjugate in $P$. We provide an algorithm to solve this decision problem if $A$ satisfies three properties that…

We prove a theorem relating the automorphism group of a Cartan geometry to the group on which the geometry is modeled: a component of the adjoint representation of the first embeds in the adjoint representation of the second. Consequences…

Let M be a compact manifold, possibly with boundary. We show that the group of homeomorphisms of M has the automatic continuity property: any homomorphism from Homeo(M) to any separable group is necessarily continuous. This answers a…

We prove that every subnormal subgroup of p-power index in a right-angled Artin group is conjugacy p-separable. As an application, we prove that every right-angled Artin group is conjugacy separable in the class of torsion-free nilpotent…

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

Consider the ring $R:=\Q[\tau,\tau^{-1}]$ of Laurent polynomials in the variable $\tau$. The Artin's Pure Braid Groups (or Generalized Pure Braid Groups) act over $R,$ where the action of every standard generator is the multiplication by…

We study braid diagrams with a minimal number of crossings. Such braid diagrams correspond to geodesic words for the braid groups with standard Artin generators. We prove that a diagram of a homogeneous braid is minimal if and only if it is…

Any endomorphism of a finitely generated free group naturally descends to an injective endomorphism of its stable quotient. In this paper, we prove a geometric incarnation of this phenomenon: namely, that every expanding irreducible train…

A theorem proved by Dobrinskaya in 2006 shows that there is a strong connection between the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for Artin groups and the classifying space of Artin monoids. More recently Ozornova obtained a different proof of…

We study the geometry of algebraic monoids. We prove that the group of invertible elements of an irreducible algebraic monoid is an algebraic group, open in the monoid. Moreover, if this group is reductive, then the monoid is affine. We…

In this paper, we investigate properties of automorphism groups of function fields in one variable in relation to its reductions with respect to special valuations. In 1969, Deligne and Mumford proved that there exists a natural injective…

Motivated by reconstruction results by Rubin, we introduce a new reconstruction notion for permutation groups, transformation monoids and clones, called automatic action compatibility, which entails automatic homeomorphicity. We further…

For an acyclic quiver $Q$ and a finite-dimensional algebra $A$, we give a unified form of the indecomposable injective objects in the monomorphism category ${\rm Mon}(Q,A)$ and prove that ${\rm Mon}(Q, A)$ has enough injective objects. As…

We introduce the inverse monoid of inner partial automorphisms of a semigroup -- a tool that associates to every semigroup an inverse semigroup. When the semigroup is a group, this inverse semigroup is isomorphic to the group of inner…

In the study of homology cobordisms, knot concordance and link concordance, the following technical problem arises frequently: let $\pi$ be a group and let $M \to N$ be a homomorphism between projective $\Z[\pi]$-modules such that $\Z_p…

In this paper, we define a natural metric on Aut(X*) and prove that the closure of the adding machine group, a subgroup of the automorphism group, is both isometric and isomorphic to the group of p-adic integers. So, we show that the group…

We explicitly compute the homology groups with coefficients in a field of characteristic zero of cocyclic subgroups or even Artin groups of FC-type. We also give some partial results in the case when the coefficients are taken in a field of…
