We give a counterexample to a conjecture by Miasnikov, Ventura and Weil, stating that an extension of free groups is algebraic if and only if the corresponding morphism of their core graphs is onto, for every basis of the ambient group. In…
We discuss in the context of finite extensions two classical theorems of Takahasi and Howson on subgroups of free groups. We provide bounds for the rank of the intersection of subgroups within classes of groups such as virtually free…
This PhD deals with the notion of pseudo algebraically closed (PAC) extensions of fields. It develops a group-theoretic machinery, based on a generalization of embedding problems, to study these extensions. Perhaps the main result is that…
A free semigroupoid algebra is the closure of the algebra generated by a TCK family of a graph in the weak operator topology. We obtain a structure theory for these algebras analogous to that of free semigroup algebra. We clarify the role…
We study algebraic closure and its relation with definable closure in free groups and more generally in torsion-free hyperbolic groups. Given a torsion-free hyperbolic group G and a nonabelian subgroup A of G, we describe G as a…
We prove that every unconditionally closed subset of a free group is algebraic, thereby answering affirmatively a 76 years old problem of Markov for free groups. In modern terminology, this means that Markov and Zariski topologies coincide…
We show that a closed finite index subgroup of a free proalgebraic group is itself a free proalgebraic group. Our main motivation for this result is an application in differential Galois theory: The absolute differential Galois group of a…
We re-cast in a more combinatorial and computational form the foldings approach of John Stallings and pursue a detailed study of the subgroup structure of free groups. In particular, we introduce the notions of an "algebraic" and a "free"…
A brief introduction to universal algebra and the theory of topological algebras, their varieties, and free topological algebras is presented. Free topological Mal'tsev algebras are studied. Their properties, relationship with topological…
The purpose of this paper is to link anisotropy properties of an algebraic group together with compactness issues in the topological group of its rational points. We nd equivalent conditions on a smooth ane algebraic group scheme over a…
For an arbitrary rational polyhedron we consider its decompositions into Minkowski summands and, dual to this, the free extensions of the associated pair of semigroups. Being free for the pair of semigroups is equivalent to flatness for the…
We study topological group theoretic properties of algebraic groups over local fields. In particular, we find conditions under which such groups have closed images under arbitrary continuous homomorphisms into arbitrary topological groups.
A free semigroupoid algebra is the weak operator topology closed algebra generated by the left regular representation of a directed graph. We establish lattice isomorphisms between ideals and invariant subspaces, and this leads to a…
Every countable directed graph generates a Fock space Hilbert space and a family of partial isometries. These operators also arise from the left regular representations of free semigroupoids derived from directed graphs. We develop a…
In this paper we prove the theorem on freedom for relatively free groups with a single relation (analogous with the well-known result of Magnus) and the theorem on freedom for relatively free Lie algebras with a single relation (analogous…
An extension of subgroups $H\leqslant K\leqslant F_A$ of the free group of rank $|A|=r\geqslant 2$ is called onto when, for every ambient free basis $A'$, the Stallings graph $\Gamma_{A'}(K)$ is a quotient of $\Gamma_{A'}(H)$. Algebraic…
The purpose of this paper is to extend some useful results, such as the multiplication being open, previously known for suitable finitely generated relatively free profinite semigroups, to relatively free profinite semigroupoids over…
Takahasi's theorem on chains of subgroups of bounded rank in a free group is generalized to several classes of semigroups. As an application, it is proved that the subsemigroups of periodic points are finitely generated and periodic orbits…
Building on the author's earlier work on topological and abstract expansivity, this paper introduces and explores the notion of algebraic expansivity for endomorphisms of abelian groups. We analyze the fundamental properties of this…
We show that (with one possible exception) there exist strongly dense free subgroups in any semisimple algebraic group over a large enough field. These are nonabelian free subgroups all of whose subgroups are either cyclic or Zariski dense.…
