We obtain a local central limit theorem for cocycles associated with a class of non abelian and non compact group extensions of Gibbs Markov maps. This class consists of multidimensional infinite dihedral groups. Unlike in the set up of the…

We use differential forms on loop spaces to prove that the fundamental group of certain geometric transformation groups is infinite. Examples include both finite and infinite dimensional Lie groups. The finite dimensional examples are the…

In this article we relate word and subgroup growth to certain functions that arise in the quantification of residual finiteness. One consequence of this endeavor is a pair of results that equate the nilpotency of a finitely generated group…

We prove a general solvable subgroup theorem in terms of length functions. As applications, we obtain a solvable subgroup theorem in dynamical systems: any solvable group of finite Hirsch length acting on a smooth manifold with uniformly…

We prove a finiteness result for the systolic area of groups, answering a question of M. Gromov. Namely, we show that there are only finitely many possible unfree factors of fundamental groups of~2-complexes whose systolic area is uniformly…

We prove the existence of an upper bound on the asymptotic dimension of tree amalgamations of locally finite quasi-transitive connected graphs. This generalises a result of Dranishnikov for free products with amalgamation and a result of…

In [14] we found the large genus asymptotics of Hurwitz numbers for the Riemann sphere with a fixed number of general profiles and some (2,1^{d-2}) profiles. In this paper, motivated from [3], we generalize these results to Hurwitz numbers…

We compute the asymptotic dimension of the rationals given with an invariant proper metric. Also, we show that a countable torsion abelian group taken with an invariant proper metric has asymptotic dimension zero.

We undertake a systematic study of asymptotically hereditarily aspherical (AHA) groups - the class of groups introduced by Tadeusz Januszkiewicz and the second author as a tool for exhibiting exotic properties of systolic groups. We provide…

We show that torsion-free elementary amenable groups of Hirsch length $\leq3$ are solvable, of derived length $\leq3$. This class includes all solvable groups of cohomological dimension 3. We show also that groups in the latter subclass are…

We give new, explicit and asymptotically sharp, lower bounds for dimensions of irreducible modular representations of finite symmetric groups.

We compute the dynamic asymptotic dimension of the principal groupoid models for the Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_k$ for $2 \leq k < \infty$ that have arisen from work of Winter and the authors. Our method generalises to a wide class of…

In this work we study two problems about Assouad-Nagata dimension: 1) Is there a metric space of non zero Assouad-Nagata dimension such that all of its asymptotic cones are of Assouad-Nagata dimension zero? (Dydak and Higes) 2) Suppose $G$…

Hurwitz theory provides a large variety of enumerative problems related to algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and combinatorics. We give a general framework to approach the large genus asymptotics of Hurwitz theory using only…

We compute the covering dimension the asymptotic cone of a connected Lie group. For simply connected solvable Lie groups, this is the codimension of the exponential radical. As an application of the proof, we give a characterization of…

In this paper, we consider an equivalence relation within the class of finitely presented discrete groups attending to their asymptotic topology rather than their asymptotic geometry. More precisely, we say that two finitely presented…

Let $G$ be a group and $R,S,T$ its normal subgroups. There is a natural extension of the concept of commutator subgroup for the case of three subgroups $\|R,S,T\|$ as well as the natural extension of the symmetric product $\|\bf r,\bf s,\bf…

The paper is devoted to generalizations of Cencelj-Dranishnikov theorems relating extension properties of nilpotent CW complexes to its homology groups. Here are the main results of the paper: \par {\bf Theorem}. Suppose $L$ is a nilpotent…

Asymptotic expansions are given for large values of $n$ of the generalized Bessel polynomials $Y_n^\mu(z)$. The analysis is based on integrals that follow from the generating functions of the polynomials. A new simple expansion is given…

We classify finitely generated, residually finite automorphism-induced HNN-extensions in terms of the residual separability of a single associated subgroup. This classification provides a method to construct automorphism-induced…
