We define a general notion of centrally $\Gamma$-graded sets and groups and of their graded products, and prove some basic results about the corresponding categories: most importantly, they form braided monoidal categories. Here, $\Gamma$…

We exhibit examples of finitely presented subgroups $P$ of direct products of hyperbolic groups for which there is no algorithm that detects whether a finitely presented group has a quotient isomorphic to $P$. For any torsion-free, linear,…

Finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class 2 are treated from the perspective of central extensions. Given finite abelian groups $G,A$, we derive an explicit formula for cocycles representing elements of $H^2(G,A)$, compute $H^2(G,A)$, and…

We construct finitely generated groups with strong fixed point properties. Let $\mathcal{X}_{ac}$ be the class of Hausdorff spaces of finite covering dimension which are mod-$p$ acyclic for at least one prime $p$. We produce the first…

Let $F_m$ be the free group on $m$ generators and let $G$ be a finite nilpotent group of non square-free order; we show that for each $m\ge 2$ the integral group ring ${\bf Z}[G\times F_m]$ has infinitely many stably free modules of rank 1.

We define a notion of weak omega-category internal to a model of Martin-L\"of type theory, and prove that each type bears a canonical weak omega-category structure obtained from the tower of iterated identity types over that type. We show…

We construct a new family of Cayley automatic representations of semidirect products $\mathbb{Z}^n \rtimes_A \mathbb{Z}$ for which none of the projections of the normal subgroup $\mathbb{Z}^n$ onto each of its cyclic components is finite…

Given a prime $p$, we construct a permutation group containing at least $p^{p-2}$ non-conjugated regular elementary abelian subgroups of order $p^3$. This gives the first example of a permutation group with exponentially many non-conjugated…

Over each nontrivial finite group $G$, there exists a finite system of equations having no solutions in larger finite groups but having a solution in a periodic group containing $G$. We prove several similar facts about amenable, orderable,…

We give a unified description of twisted forms of classical reductive groups schemes. Such group schemes are constructed from algebraic objects of finite rank, excluding some exceptions of small rank. These objects, augmented odd form…

We construct a finitely presented group with infinitely many non-homeomorphic asymptotic cones. We also show that the existence of cut points in asymptotic cones of finitely presented groups does, in general, depend on the choice of scaling…

In "On the asymptotics of the growth of 2-step nilpotent groups" (J. London Math. Soc. (2), 58 (1998)), we remarked that, contrary to 2-step nilpotent simply connected Lie groups, in 3-step nilpotent simply connected Lie groups it is…

This paper is a continuation of the paper "Numerical Semigroups: Ap\'ery Sets and Hilbert Series". We consider the general numerical AA-semigroup, i.e., semigroups consisting of all non-negative integer linear combinations of relatively…

Improving and clarifying a construction of Horowitz and Shelah, we show how to construct (in $\textsf{ZF}$, that is, without using the Axiom of Choice) maximal cofinitary groups. Among the groups we construct, one is definable by a formula…

We prove non-amenability of the product replacement graphs \Gamma_n(G) for uniformly non-amenable groups. We also prove it for Z-large groups, when n is sufficiently large. It follows that \Gamma_n(G) is non-amenable when n is sufficiently…

Let $T$ be a complete, superstable theory with fewer than $2^{\aleph_{0}}$ countable models. Assuming that generic types of infinite, simple groups definable in $T^{eq}$ are sufficiently non-isolated we prove that $\omega^{\omega}$ is the…

We describe maximal nilpotent subsemigroups of a given nilpotency class in the semigroup $\Omega_n$ of all $n\times n$ real matrices with non-negative coefficients and the semigroup $\mathbf{D}_n$ of all doubly stochastic real matrices.

We point out an asymptotic formula for the power moments of the function $a(n)$, representing the number of non-isomorphic Abelian groups of order $n$. For the quadratic moment this improves an earlier result due to L. Zhang, M. L\"u and W.…

For a finite group $G$, let $a_n(G)$ be the number of subgroups of order $n$ and define $\zeta_G(s)=\sum_{n\ge 1} a_n(G)n^{-s}$. Examples are known of non-isomorphic finite groups with the same group zeta function. However, no general…

We give a classification of Z/2Z-graded fusion categories whose 0-component is a pointed fusion category. A number of concrete examples is considered.
