We give estimates on asymptotic dimensions of products of general hyperbolic spaces with following applications to the hyperbolic groups. We give examples of strict inequality in the product theorem for the asymptotic dimension in the class…

For discrete measured groupoids preserving a probability measure we introduce a notion of sofic dimension that measures the asymptotic growth of the number of sofic approximations on larger and larger finite sets. In the case of groups we…

We give a new short proof of the theorem due to Marquis and Sabok, which states that the orbit equivalence relation induced by the action of a finitely generated hyperbolic group on its Gromov boundary is hyperfinite. Our methods permit…

We introduce dynamic asymptotic dimension, a notion of dimension for actions of discrete groups on locally compact spaces, and more generally for locally compact \'etale groupoids. We study our notion for minimal actions of the integer…

The aim of this paper is to unify the theory of ends of finitely generated groups with that of ends of locally compact, metrizable and connected topological groups. In both theories one proves that, if the number of ends is finite, then it…

We show that connected separable locally compact groups are infinitesimally finitely generated, meaning that there is an integer $n$ such that every neighborhood of the identity contains $n$ elements generating a dense subgroup. We…

We prove two conjectures of E. Khukhro and P. Shumyatsky concerning the Fitting height and insoluble length of finite groups. As a by-product of our methods, we also prove a generalization of a result of Flavell, which itself generalizes…

We extend previous work on Hrushovski's stabilizer's theorem and prove a measure-theoretic version of a well-known result of Pillay-Scanlon-Wagner on products of three types. This generalizes results of Gowers on products of three sets and…

We generalize and strengthen the theorem of Gromov that every compact Riemannian manifold of diameter at most D has a set of generators g_1,...,g_k of length at most 2D and relators of the form g_ig_m = g_j . In particular, we obtain an…

We show that the type function of a space with finite asymptotic dimension estimates its Hilbert (or any $l^p$) compression. The method allows to obtain the lower bound of the compression of the lamplighter group $Z\wr Z$, which has…

In this paper, we determine the descriptive complexity of subsets of the Polish space of marked groups defined by various group theoretic properties. In particular, using Grigorchuk groups, we establish that the sets of solvable groups,…

We study the connection between the dimension of certain spaces of harmonic functions on a group and its geometric and algebraic properties. Our main result shows that (for sufficiently "nice" random walk measures) a connected, compactly…

Asymptotic expansions for generalised trigonometric integrals are obtained in terms of elementary functions, which are valid for large values of the parameter $a$ and unbounded complex values of the argument. These follow from new…

We call a finitely generated group lacunary hyperbolic if one of its asymptotic cones is an R-tree. We characterize lacunary hyperbolic groups as direct limits of Gromov hyperbolic groups satisfying certain restrictions on the hyperbolicity…

We show that the space of harmonic functions on a finitely generated infinite group G is finite dimensional if, and only if, G has a finite-index subgroup isomorphic to the integers. A key tool is Wilkie and van den Dries's quantitative…
