We give a new characterisation of virtually free groups using graph minors. Namely, we prove that a finitely generated, infinite group is virtually free if and only if for any finite generating set, the corresponding Cayley graph is minor…

We prove a converse to Myhill's "Garden-of-Eden" theorem and obtain in this manner a characterization of amenability in terms of cellular automata: "A group $G$ is amenable if and only if every cellular automaton with carrier $G$ that has…

Due to their elegant and simple nature, unitary Cayley graphs have been an active research topic in the literature. These graphs are naturally connected to several branches of mathematics, including number theory, finite algebra,…

We present a diagram surveying equivalence or strict implication for properties of different nature (algebraic, model theoretic, topological, etc.) about groups definable in o-minimal structures. All results are well-known and an extensive…

In this paper we extend the approach of M. Cavaleri to effective amenability to the class of computably enumerable groups, i.e. in particular we do not assume that groups are finitely generated. In the case of computable groups we also…

We get three types of results on measure equivalence rigidity; direct product groups of Ozawa's class $\mathcal{S}$ groups, wreath product groups and amalgamated free products. We prove measure equivalence factorization results on direct…

Confidence nets, that is, collections of confidence intervals that fill out the parameter space and whose exact parameter coverage can be computed, are familiar in nonparametric statistics. Here, the distributional assumptions are based on…

We show that a group admits a planar, finitely generated Cayley graph if and only if it admits a special kind of group presentation we introduce, called a planar presentation. Planar presentations can be recognised algorithmically. As a…

A few properties of unitary Cayley graphs are explored using their eigenvalues. It is shown that the adjacency algebra of a unitary Cayley graph is a coherent algebra. Finally, a class of unitary Cayley graphs that are distance regular are…

For locally compact groups, we define an analogue to Yu's property A that he defined for discrete metric spaces. We show that our property A for locally compact groups agrees with Roe's notion of property A for proper metric spaces, defined…

We construct measures on definable sets in $e$-free perfect PAC fields, as well as on perfect PAC fields whose absolute Galois groups are free pro-$p$ of finite rank. We deduce the definable amenability of all groups definable in such…

A theorem by Orlov states that any equivalence between the bounded derived categories of coherent sheaves of two smooth projective varieties, X and Y, is isomorphic to a Fourier-Mukai transform with kernel in the bounded derived category of…

We introduce right generating sets, Cayley graphs, growth functions, types and rates, and isoperimetric constants for left homogeneous spaces equipped with coordinate systems; characterise right amenable finitely right generated left…

We determine the extent to which the collection of $\Gamma$-Euler-Satake characteristics classify closed 2-orbifolds. In particular, we show that the closed, connected, effective, orientable 2-orbifolds are classified by the collection of…

We generalize Kirchberg's weak exactness to inclusions of C*-algebras in von Neumann algebras and study some characterizations and permanence properties which are similar to those of exact groups. We then consider a similar condition to…

A well-known result of Benjamini, Lyons, Peres, and Schramm states that if $G$ is a finitely generated Cayley graph of a group $\Gamma$, then $\Gamma$ is amenable if and only if $G$ admits a $\Gamma$-invariant random spanning tree with at…

This article lays the foundations for an analogue of geometric group theory that studies actions on graphs by right quasigroups, including racks and quandles. We study markings of graphs that realize racks, and we introduce (di)graph…

Four geometric conditions on a geodesic metric space, which are stronger variants of classical conditions characterizing hyperbolicity, are proved to be equivalent. In the particular case of the Cayley graph of a finitely generated group,…

A monoid is said to be special if it admits a presentation in which all defining relations are of the form $w = 1$. Groups are familiar examples of special monoids. This article studies the geometric and structural properties of the Cayley…

We study amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and apply it to algebras associated with finitely generated groups. We show that a group G is amenable if and only if its group…
