The goal of this modern presentation, followed by an English translation from the German, is to make available some parts of Lie's very systematic mathematical thought which deserve to join the contemporary literature, and above all also,…
This paper contains a stronger version of a final identification theorem for the `generic' groups of finite Morley rank.
Given a finitely generated linear group $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, we construct a simple group $\Gamma$ that has the same finiteness properties as $G$ and admits $G$ as a quasi-retract. As an application, we construct a simple group of type…
It is shown that the class of algebro-geometrical (finite-gap) solutions of the Ernst equation constructed several years ago in [D.Korotkin, Theor.Math.Phys., 77 (1989), p. 1018] contains the solutions recently constructed by R.Meinel and…
We introduce a new class of Abelian groups which lies strictly between the classes of co-Hopfian groups and Dedekind-finite groups, calling these groups {\it Bassian-finite}. We prove the surprising fact that in the torsion case the…
Let $R$ be a subset of a group $G$. We call a subgroup $H$ of $G$ the $R$-conjugate-permutable subgroup of $G$, if $HH^{x}=H^{x}H$ for all $x\in R$. This concept is a generalization of conjugate-permutable subgroups introduced by T. Foguel.…
This is a survey of some problems in geometric group theory which I find interesting. The problems are from different areas of group theory. Each section is devoted to problems in one area. It contains an introduction where I give some…
The content of this preprint together with additional material appears now in 0706.2154.
In this article we study a class of central extensions of $\mathbb{Z}\wr\mathbb{Z}$, as first described by Hall. On the one hand, we consider groups of this type with cyclic centre, our construction yields a rich class of groups. In…
This paper concerns partial groups, objective partial groups, and (finite) localities, with special attention given to the quotient of a locality by a partial normal subgroup.
The article presents several methods for the arithmetic of finite abelian groups. We introduce a tool - already used by Delsarte in [1] as I found out later - analogous to Dirichlet's convolution to obtain combinatorial results on these…
We introduce the concept of quantifying the extent to which a finitely generated group is residually finite. The quantification is carried out for some examples including free groups, the first Grigorchuk group, finitely generated nilpotent…
On etudie divers aspects d'une formule qui compte les reflexions pleines dans les groupes de Coxeter finis. ***** We study several points about a formula which counts reflexions in a finite Coxeter group whose reduced decompositions involve…
Groups definable in simple theories retain the chain conditions and decomposition properties known from stable groups, up to commensurability. In the small case, if a generic type of G is not foreign to some type q, there is a q-internal…
For a prime $r$, we obtain lower bounds on the proportion of $r$-regular elements in classical groups and show that these lower bounds are the best possible lower bounds that do not depend on the order of the defining field. Along the way,…
Serre obtained a sharp bound on how often two irreducible degree $n$ complex characters of a finite group can agree, which tells us how many local factors determine an Artin $L$-function. We consider the more delicate question of finding a…
In this paper, we explain the importance of finite decomposition semigroups and present two theorems related to their structure.
This $2^{nd}$-edition article is intended to be an up-to-date archive of the current state of the questions: Which finitely generated groups $G$: have semistable fundamental group at infinity; are simply connected at infinity; are such that…
This should be the final version of this paper. Numberous minor improvements have been made to the manuscript, one argument has been corrected, and an appendix has been added.
Let $\mathcal G$ denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. For any finitely generated group $G$, we construct a continuous, injective map $f$ from the space of subgroups $Sub(G)$ to $\mathcal G$ that sends conjugate subgroups to…
