We construct finitely generated simple torsion-free groups with strong homological control. Our main result is that every subset of $\mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$, with some obvious exceptions, can be realized as the set of dimensions of…
We prove that the class of convex-cocompact Kleinian groups is quasi-isometrically rigid. We also establish that a word hyperbolic group with a planar boundary different from the sphere is virtually a convex-cocompact Kleinian group…
Using a recent result of Bowden, Hensel and Webb, we prove the existence of a homeomorphism with positive stable commutator length in the group of homeomorphisms of the Klein bottle which are isotopic to the identity.
We systematically study Schottky group actions on homogeneous rational manifolds and find two new families besides those given by Nori's well-known construction. This yields new examples of non-K\"ahler compact complex manifolds having free…
Schottky space ${\mathcal S}_{g}$, where $g \geq 2$ is an integer, is a connected complex orbifold of dimension $3(g-1)$; it provides a parametrization of the ${\rm PSL}_{2}({\mathbb C})$-conjugacy classes of Schottky groups $\Gamma$ of…
We prove that the limits of Baumslag-Solitar groups which we previously studied are non-linear hopfian C*-simple groups with infinitely many twisted conjugacy classes. We exhibit infinite presentations for these groups, classify them up to…
Using the rings of Lipschitz and Hurwitz integers $\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{Z})$ and $\mathbb{H}ur(\mathbb{Z})$ in the quaternion division algebra $\mathbb{H}$, we define several Kleinian discrete subgroups of $PSL(2,\mathbb{H})$
We construct a $2$-generated pro-$2$ group with full normal Hausdorff spectrum $[0,1]$, with respect to each of the four standard filtration series: the $2$-power series, the lower $2$-series, the Frattini series, and the dimension subgroup…
Not all Schottky groups of Moebius transformations are classical Schottky groups. In this paper we show that all Fuchsian Schottky groups are classical Schottky groups, but not necessarily on the same set of generators.
A positive integer $m$ will be called a {\it finitistic order} for an element $\gamma$ of a group $\Gamma$ if there exist a finite group $G$ and a homomorphism $h:\Gamma\to G$ such that $h(\gamma)$ has order $m$ in $G$. It is shown that up…
The goal of this paper is to describe a theoretical construction of an infinite collection of non-classical Schottky groups. We first show that there are infinitely many non-classical noded Schottky groups on the boundary of Schottky space,…
This thesis gives a complete description of the Grothendieck group and divisor class group for large families of two and three dimensional singularities. The main results presented throughout, and summarised in Theorem 8.1.1, give an…
We characterize finitely generated torsion-free Kleinian groups for which the real length spectrum (without multiplicities) is discrete.
We provide a proof that the classes of finitely generated Kleinian groups and of three-manifold groups are quasi-isometrically rigid.
The algebras of Kleinian type are finite dimensional semisimple rational algebras $A$ such that the group of units of an order in $A$ is commensurable with a direct product of Kleinian groups. We classify the Schur algebras of Kleinian type…
In Carnot groups of step 2 we consider sets having maximal or minimal possible homogeneous Hausdorff dimension compared to their Euclidean one: in the first case we prove that they must be in a sense vertical, that is a large part of these…
Let $X=\Lambda\backslash\mathbb{H}$ be a Schottky surface, that is, a conformally compact hyperbolic surface of infinite area. Let $\delta$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of $\Lambda$. We prove that for any compact subset…
We show that the set of real numbers of Lagrange value 3 has Hausdorff dimension zero by showing the appropriate generalization for each element of the Teichmueller space of the appropriate subgroup of the classical modular group.
Finite groups are said to be isospectral if they have the same sets of element orders. A finite nonabelian simple group $L$ is said to be almost recognizable by spectrum if every finite group isospectral to $L$ is an almost simple group…
Denoting the Hausdorff dimension of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian with coupling $\lambda$ by $\mathrm{HD}_\lambda$, we prove that for all but countably many $\lambda$, the Hausdorff dimension of the spectrum of the square Fibonacci Hamiltonian…
