We establish conditions under which the fundamental group of a graph of finite $p$-groups is necessarily residually $p$-finite. The technique of proof is independent of previously established results of this type, and the result is also…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms. We provide a complete classification of a finite group $G$ in which every maximal $A$-invariant subgroup containing the normalizer of some $A$-invariant…

We explore the topological full group [[G]] of an essentially principal etale groupoid G on a Cantor set. When G is minimal, we show that [[G]] (and its certain normal subgroup) is a complete invariant for the isomorphism class of the etale…

We prove that the equality problem is decidable for rational subsets of the monogenic free inverse monoid $F$. It is also decidable whether or not a rational subset of $F$ is recognizable. We prove that a submonoid of $F$ is rational if and…

For a mixing shift of finite type, the associated automorphism group has a rich algebraic structure, and yet we have few criteria to distinguish when two such groups are isomorphic. We introduce a stabilization of the automorphism group,…

We show that every finite group occurs as the automorphism group of infinitely many finite (field) extensions of any given Hilbertian field. This extends and unifies previous results of M. Fried and Takahashi on the global field case.

We study finitely generated nilpotent groups $G$ given by full rank finite presentations $\langle A \mid R\rangle$ in the variety $\mathcal{N}_c$ of nilpotent groups of class at most $c$, where $c \geq 2$. We prove that if the deficiency…

Let G be a reductive linear algebraic group over a field k. Let A be a finitely generated commutative k-algebra on which G acts rationally by k-algebra automorphisms. Invariant theory tells that the ring of invariants A^G=H^0(G,A) is…

We show that pointlike sets are decidable for the pseudovariety of finite semigroups whose idempotent-generated subsemigroup is R-trivial. Notably, our proof is constructive: we provide an explicit relational morphism which computes the…

Every semigroup which is a finite disjoint union of copies of the free monogenic semigroup (natural numbers under addition) is finitely presented and residually finite.

We show that every effectively closed action of a finitely generated group $G$ on a closed subset of $\{0,1\}^{\mathbb{N}}$ can be obtained as a topological factor of the $G$-subaction of a $(G \times H_1 \times H_2)$-subshift of finite…

Let $A$ and $G$ be finite groups such that $A$ acts coprimely on $G$ by automorphisms, assume that $G$ has a maximal $A$-invariant subgroup $M$ that is a direct product of some isomorphic simple groups, we prove that if $G$ has a…

The isomorphism problem for [free abelian]-by-free groups is unsolvable.

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be periodic if for any $g$ in $\Gamma$ there is a positive integer $n$ with $g^n=id$. We first prove that a finitely generated periodic group acting on the 2-sphere $\SS^2$ by $C^1$-diffeomorphisms with a finite…

In this paper, we characterize the finite groups $G$ of even order with the property that for any involution $x$ and element $y$ of $G$, $\langle x, y \rangle$ is isomorphic to one of the following groups: $\mathbb{Z}_2,$ $\mathbb{Z}_2^2$,…

Given an arbitrary, finitely presented, residually finite group $\Gamma$, one can construct a finitely generated, residually finite, free-by-free group $M_\Gamma = F_\infty\rtimes F_4$ and an embedding $M_\Gamma \hookrightarrow (F_4\ast…

Let $G$ be a finite group, and assume that $G$ has an automorphism of order at least $\rho|G|$, with $\rho\in\left(0,1\right)$. Generalizing recent analogous results of the author on finite groups with a large automorphism cycle length, we…

We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…

We consider the oriented graph whose vertices are isomorphism classes of finitely generated groups, with an edge from G to H if, for some generating set T in H and some sequence of generating sets S_i in G, the marked balls of radius i in…

We show that if G is an infinitely generated locally (polycyclic-by-finite) group with cohomology almost everywhere finitary, then every finite subgroup of G acts freely and orthogonally on some sphere.
