In this paper, using some properties of fundamental groups and covering spaces of connected polyhedra and CW-complexes, we present topological proof for some famous theorems about finitely presented groups.
We prove that for geometrically finite groups cohomological dimension of the direct product of a group with itself equals 2 times the cohomological dimension dimension of the group.
We show that any finitely generated group $F$ with infinitely many ends is not a group of fractions of any finitely generated proper subsemigroup $P$, that is $F$ cannot be expressed as a product $P P^{-1}$. In particular this solves a…
We show that there is a smooth complex projective variety, of any dimension greater than or equal to two, whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. Moreover, this variety admits infinitely many real forms which are…
We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…
New constructions in group homology allow us to manufacture high-dimensional manifolds with controlled simplicial volume. We prove that for every dimension bigger than 3 the set of simplicial volumes of orientable closed connected manifolds…
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…
In this paper we study the possibility to define irreducible representations of the symmetric groups with the help of finitely many relations. The existence of finite bases is established for the classes of representations corresponding to…
Recently George Bergman proved that the symmetric group of an infinite set possesses the following property which we call by the {\it universality of finite width}: given any generating set $X$ of the symmetric group of an infinite set…
We classify all finite groups of essential dimension 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.
We construct a countable p-local group with a proper invariant metric whose Assouad-Nagata dimension is strictly greater than the asymptotic dimension with linear control. This solves Problem 8.6 from the list [Dr]. We study asymptotic…
Bazzi and Mitter [3] showed that binary dihedral group codes are asymptotically good. In this paper we prove that the dihedral group codes over any finite field with good mathematical properties are asymptotically good. If the…
We prove that the genus of a finite-dimensional division algebra is finite whenever the center is a finitely generated field of any characteristic. We also discuss potential applications of our method to other problems, including the…
Any virtually free group $H$ containing no non-trivial finite normal subgroup (e.g., the infinite dihedral group) is a retract of any finitely generated group containing $H$ as a verbally closed subgroup.
A group is called matricial field (MF) if it admits finite dimensional approximate unitary representations which are approximately faithful and approximately contained in the left regular representation. This paper provides a new class of…
Given a finite group $G$ and a generating set $S \subseteq G$, the diameter $diam(G,S)$ is the least integer $n$ such that every element of $G$ is the product of at most $n$ elements of $S$. In this paper, for bounded $|S|$, we characterize…
It is proved that all finitely generated subgroups of generalized free product of two groups are finitely separable provided that free factors have this property and amalgamated subgroups are normal in corresponding factors and satisfy the…
A finitely generated group or monoid is said to be context-free if it has context-free word problem. In this note, we give an example of a context-free monoid, none of whose maximal subgroups are finitely generated. This answers a question…
We prove that for any compact manifold of dimension greater than $1$, the set of pseudo-Riemannian metrics having a trivial isometry group contains an open and dense subset of the space of metrics.
It is shown that there exist infinitely many non-integers $r>2$ such that the Dehn function of some finitely presented group is $\simeq n^r$. For each positive rational number $s$ we construct pairs of finitely presented groups $H\subset G$…
