Let $G$ be a finite group and let $\mathcal{M}$ be a set of maximal subgroups of $G$. We say that $\mathcal{M}$ is irredundant if the intersection of the subgroups in $\mathcal{M}$ is not equal to the intersection of any proper subset. The…

We study the asymptotic growth of homology groups and the cellular volume of classifying spaces as one passes to normal subgroups $G_n<G$ of increasing finite index in a fixed finitely generated group $G$, assuming $\bigcap_n G_n =1$. We…

For a finite group $G$, we associate the quantity $\beta(G)=\frac{|L(G)|}{|G|}$, where $L(G)$ is the subgroup lattice of $G$. Different properties and problems related to this ratio are studied throughout the paper. We determine the second…

We define the notion of L^2 homology and L^2 Betti numbers for a tracial von Neumann algebra, or, more generally, for any involutive algebra with a trace. The definition of these invariants is obtained from the definition of L^2 homology…

We will give an example of a branch group $G$ that has exponential growth but does not contain any non-abelian free subgroups. This answers question 16 from \cite{Bartholdi} positively. The proof demonstrates how to construct a non-trivial…

We define a classical probability analogue of Voiculescu's free entropy dimension that we shall call the classical probability entropy dimension of a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We show that the classical probability entropy…

Let $\Gamma=\langle \alpha, \beta \rangle$ be a numerical semigroup. In this article we consider the dual $\Delta^*$ of a $\Gamma$-semimodule $\Delta$; in particular we deduce a formula that expresses the minimal set of generators of…

This work extends the results known for the Delta sets of non-symmetric numerical semigroups with embedding dimension three to the symmetric case. Thus, we have a fast algorithm to compute the Delta set of any embedding dimension three…

One of the few accepted dynamical foundations of non-additive "non-extensive") statistical mechanics is that the choice of the appropriate entropy functional describing a system with many degrees of freedom should reflect the rate of growth…

For a finite dimensional representation $V$ of a group $G$ over a field $F$, the degree of reductivity $\delta(G,V)$ is the smallest degree $d$ such that every nonzero fixed point $v\in V^{G}\setminus\{0\}$ can be separated from zero by a…

Given a discrete group $G$, for any integer $r\geqslant0$ we consider the family of all virtually abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $r$. We give an upper bound for the Bredon cohomological dimension of $G$ for this family for a…

A set of quasi-uniform random variables $X_1,...,X_n$ may be generated from a finite group $G$ and $n$ of its subgroups, with the corresponding entropic vector depending on the subgroup structure of $G$. It is known that the set of entropic…

We show that the first $\ell^2$-Betti number of the duals of the free unitary quantum groups is one, and that all $\ell^2$-Betti numbers vanish for the duals of the quantum automorphism groups of full matrix algebras.

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $\delta(G)$ denote the number of all non-cyclic subgroups of $G$. In this paper, an upper bound for $\delta(G)$ is obtained. Furthermore, we prove that $\delta(G)\leq \delta(M_p(1, 1, 1) \times…

Strongly zero-dimensional topological groups $G_1$, $G_2$, and $G$ such that $G_1\times G_2$ has positive covering dimension and $G$ contains a closed subgroup of positive covering dimension are constructed. Moreover, all finite powers of…

We establish several properties of the free Stein dimension, an invariant for finitely generated unital tracial $*$-algebras. We give formulas for its behaviour under direct sums and tensor products with finite dimensional algebras. Among a…

For any nearfield $(R,+, \circ)$, denote by $D(R)$ the set of all distributive elements of $R$. Let $R$ be a finite Dickson nearfield that arises from Dickson pair $(q,n)$. For a given pair $(\alpha, \beta) \in R^2$ we study the generalized…

A study of noncommutative topological entropy of gauge invariant endomorphisms of Cuntz algebras began in our earlier work with Joachim Zacharias is continued and extended to endomorphisms which are not necessarily of permutation type. In…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…

We prove that if $X_{1},...,X_{n} (n >1)$ are selfadjoints in a $W^{*}$-probability space with finite non-microstates free Fisher information, then the von Neumann algebra $W^{*}(X_{1},...,X_{n})$ they generate doesn't have property…
