It is proven that an infinite finitely generated group cannot be elementarily equivalent to an ultraproduct of finite groups of a given Pr\"ufer rank. Furthermore, it is shown that an infinite finitely generated group of finite Pr\"ufer…

This paper studies effective separability for subgroups of finitely generated nilpotent groups and more broadly effective subgroup separability of finitely generated nilpotent groups. We provide upper and lower bounds that are polynomial…

A self-similar group of finite type is the profinite group of all automorphisms of a regular rooted tree that locally around every vertex act as elements of a given finite group of allowed actions. We provide criteria for determining when a…

We describe the full automorphism group of the directed reduced power graph and the undirected reduced power graph of a finite group. We compute the full automorphism groups of these graphs of several classes of finite groups. Also, we…

We show that on an arbitrary finitely generated non virtually solvable linear group, any two independent random walks will eventually generate a free subgroup. In fact, this will hold for an exponential number of independent random walks.

We classify closed abelian subgroups of the simple groups $G_2$, $F_4$, $Aut(so(8))$ having centralizer the same dimension as the dimension of the subgroup, as well as finite abelian subgroups of certain spin and half-spin groups having…

A pro-Lie group is a projective limit of a family of finite-dimensional Lie groups. In this note we show that a pro-Lie group $G$ is a Lie group in the sense that its topology is compatible with a smooth manifold structure for which the…

We address a linearity problem for differentiable vectors in representations of infinite-dimensional Lie groups on locally convex spaces, which is similar to the linearity problem for the directional derivatives of functions.

In this paper we prove that free solvable groups have finite Krull dimension. In fact, this is true for much wider class of solvable groups, termed rigid groups. Along the way we study the algebraic structure of the limit solvable groups…

Let $\Lambda$ be an artin algebra. We are going to consider full subcategories of $\mod\Lambda$ closed under finite direct sums and under submodules with infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable modules. The main result asserts…

We give new upper bounds for the diameters of finite groups which do not depend on a choice of generating set. Our method exploits the commutator structure of certain profinite groups, in a fashion analogous to the Solovay-Kitaev procedure…

We discuss dense embeddings of surface groups and fully residually free groups in topological groups. We show that a compact topological group contains a nonabelian dense free group of finite rank if and only if it contains a dense surface…

We study a new class of infinite dimensional Lie algebras, which has important applications to the theory of integrable equations. The construction of these algebras is very similar to the one for automorphic functions and this motivates…

We formulate and prove finite dimensional analogs for the classical Balian-Low theorem, and for a quantitative Balian-Low type theorem that, in the case of the real line, we obtained in a previous work. Moreover, we show that these results…

We prove that a limit group over Thompson's group $F$ cannot be an HNN-extension of $F$ with respect to a finitely generated subgroup. On the other hand we give an example of an $F$-limit group which is a centralized HNN-extenstions of $F$.…

We show that Nichols algebras of most simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the projective special linear group over a finite field, corresponding to non-semisimple orbits, have infinite dimension. We spell out a new criterium to show that a…

In this article we present an example of a discrete group $\Sigma_\C\subset PSL(3,\Bbb{R})$ whose action on $\P^2$ does no have invariant projective subspaces, is not conjugated to complex hyperbolic group and its limit set in the sense of…

We give a topological framework for the study of Sela's limit groups: limit groups are limits of free groups in a compact space of marked groups. Many results get a natural interpretation in this setting. The class of limit groups is known…

For a finite set of homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations of the algebra of polynomials in several variables, a finite dimensionality criterion for the Lie algebra generated by these derivations is known. Also the structure of the…

We show that there exist non-unitarizable groups without non-abelian free subgroups. Both torsion and torsion free examples are constructed. As a by-product, we show that there exist finitely generated torsion groups with non-vanishing…
