We explore the interplay between omega-categoricity and pseudofiniteness for groups, conjecturing that omega-categorical pseudofinite groups are finite-by-abelian-by-finite. We show that the conjecture reduces to nilpotent p-groups of class…
We give an example of an aleph-zero-categorical theory which is not G-compact. The countable model of this theory does not have AZ-enumerations.
We prove that $\ omega $-categorical dp-minimal groups are nilpotent-by-finite. We also show that in dp-minimal definably amenable groups, f-generic global types are strongly f-generic.
Answering a question of Junker and Ziegler, we construct a countable first order structure which is not omega-categorical, but does not have any proper non-trivial reducts, in either of two senses (model-theoretic, and group-theoretic). We…
An $\omega$-categorical group of finite burden is virtually finite-by-abelian; an $\omega$-categorical ring of finite burden is virtually finite-by-null; an $\omega$-categorical NTP2 ring is virtually nilpotent.
We prove that a finite-dimensional omega-categorical group is finite-by-abelian-by-finite and that a finite-dimensional omega-categorical ring is virtually finite-by-null.
We construct uncountably categorical 3-nilpotent groups of exponent p > 3. They are not one-based and do not allow the interpretation of an infinite field. Therefore they are counterexamples to Zilbers Conjecture. First 2-nilpotent new…
We classify primitive, rank 1, omega-categorical structures having polynomially many types over finite sets. For a fixed number of 4-types, we show that there are only finitely many such structures and that all are built out of finitely…
We introduce a special class of powerful $p$-groups that we call powerfully nilpotent groups that are finite $p$-groups that possess a central series of a special kind. To these we can attach the notion of a powerful nilpotence class that…
In this paper we continue the study of powerfully nilpotent groups. These are powerful $p$-groups possessing a central series of a special kind. To each such group one can attach a powerful nilpotency class that leads naturally to the…
We provide the first example of virtually nilpotent group, with a specific generating set, for which the Green series (sometimes called cogrowth series) is not $D$-finite. The proof relies on an arithmetical miracle, and the study of the…
We present a structural description of finite nilpotent groups of class at most $2$ using a specified number of subdirect and central products of $2$-generated such groups. As a corollary, we show that all of these groups are isomorphic to…
The category of strict omega-categories has an important full subcategory whose objects are the simple omega-categories freely generated by planar trees or by globular cardinals. We give a simple description of this subcategory in terms of…
We give an infinite family of torsion-free groups that do not satisfy the unique product property. For these examples, we also show that each group contains arbitrarily large sets whose square has no uniquely represented element.
Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. We continue the search for generic constructions of free products and free monoids in the unit group $\mathcal{U}(\mathbb{Z}G)$ of the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$. For a nilpotent…
We enumerate traceless square matrices over finite quotients of compact discrete valuation rings by their image sizes. We express the associated rational generating functions in terms of statistics on symmetric and hyperoctahedral groups,…
We call a group $G$ {\it algorithmically finite} if no algorithm can produce an infinite set of pairwise distinct elements of $G$. We construct examples of recursively presented infinite algorithmically finite groups and study their…
We enumerate the 15768 perfect groups of order up to $2\cdot 10^6$, up to isomorphism, thus also completing the missing cases in the prior classification. The work supplements the by now well-understood computer classifications of solvable…
There exist f.g.-universal cellular automata groups which are quotients of $\mathbb{Z} * \mathbb{Z}_2$ or $\mathbb{Z}_2 * \mathbb{Z}_2 * \mathbb{Z}_2$, as previously conjectured by the author.
In this paper we study obstructions to presentability by products for finitely generated groups. Along the way we develop both the concept of acentral subgroups, and the relations between presentability by products on the one hand, and…
