This is the first installment of a book on combinatorial and geometric group theory from the topological point of view. This is a classical subject. The installment contains Chapters 1, 3 and 4, and there are nine chapters in total: 1.…

To any finite ordered subset and any finite partition of a group a set of tuples of positive integers, named as configurations, is associated that describes the group's behavior. The present paper provides an exposition of this notion and…

The article surveys published and not yet published results about moduli spaces of algebraic surfaces.

This is a research monograph on constructions of and group actions on countable homogeneous graphs, concentrating particularly on the simple random graph and its edge-coloured variants. We study various aspects of the graphs, but the…

We investigate the separability of several well known classes of subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface.

We survey different topologizations of the set $\mathcal{S}(G)$ of all closed subgroups of a topological group $G$ and demonstrate some applications in Topological Grous, Model Theory, Geometric Group Theory, Topological Dynamics.

The Modular Isomorphism Problem asks if an isomorphism of group algebras of two finite p-groups G and H over a field of characteristic p, implies an isomorhism of the groups G and H. We survey the history of the problem, explain strategies…

This is a survey of results on partially commutative groups and partially commutative algebras.

It is shown that classical Clifford algebras are group algebras of cyclic subgroups of arrowy rermutations. It is established that Euclidean 3-space, Pauli and Dirac algebras and groups of global guage transformations are corollary from the…

A Smarandache multi-space is a union of $n$ spaces $A_1,A_2,..., A_n$ with some additional conditions holding. Combining classical of a group with Smarandache multi-spaces, the conception of a multi-group space is introduced in this paper,…

We classify flips of buildings arising from non-degenerate unitary spaces of dimension at least 4 over finite fields of odd characteristic in terms of their action on the underlying vector space. We also construct certain geometries related…

We survey the analogy between Kleinian groups and subgroups of the mapping class group of a surface.

A mixture of an historical article, and of a survey of recent developments, containing also a couple of new results.

This text is a survey of derived algebraic geometry. It covers a variety of general notions and results from the subject with a view on the recent developments at the interface with deformation quantization.

The automorphisms groups and derivation algebras of all two-dimensional algebras over algebraically closed fields are described.

This article explains basic constructions and results on group algebras and their cohomology, starting from the point of view of commutative algebra. It provides the background necessary for a novice in this subject to begin reading Dave…

We explore the notion of sectional number of a group homomorphism, leading to a generalization of the covering number of a group, and present several characterizations when the sectional number is finite, providing estimates for computing…

Structural properties of unitary groups over local, not necessarily commutative, rings are developed, with applications to the computation of the orders of these groups (when finite) and to the degrees of the irreducible constituents of the…

In this short pedagogical presentation, we introduce the spin groups and the spinors from the point of view of group theory. We also present, independently, the construction of the low dimensional Clifford algebras. And we establish the…

This work discusses an approach to solving geometric construction problems in which the given figure is included in a set ordered by construction steps. The flow of information is carried through the chain, allowing the original problem to…
