Given a reduced abelian $p$-group, we give an upper bound on the Scott complexity of the group in terms of its Ulm invariants. For limit ordinals, we show that this upper bound is tight. This gives an explicit sequence of such groups with…

Assume that $K$ is an algebraically closed field, $R$ a locally support-finite locally bounded $K$-category, $G$ a torsion-free admissible group of $K$-linear automorphisms of $R$ and $A=R/G$. We show that the Krull-Gabriel dimension…

This is a survey on factorization theory. We discuss finitely generated monoids (including affine monoids), primary monoids (including numerical monoids), power sets with set addition, Krull monoids and their various generalizations, and…

Maximal and non-maximal supergravities in three spacetime dimensions allow for a large variety of semisimple and non-semisimple gauge groups, as well as complex gauge groups that have no analog in higher dimensions. In this contribution we…

To any free group automorphism, we associate a real pretree with several nice properties. First, it has a rigid/non-nesting action of the free group with trivial arc stabilizers. Secondly, there is an expanding pretree-automorphism of the…

Falbel, Koseleff and Rouillier computed a large number of boundary unipotent CR representations of fundamental groups of non compact three-manifolds. Those representations are not always discrete. By experimentally computing their limit…

We find a short equational basis for the variety of $3$-supernilpotent loops. We also present a conceptually simple proof that $k$-nilpotence and $k$-supernilpotence are equivalent for groups. Connections between $3$-supernilpotent loops,…

Smooth threefold flops with irreducible centres are classified by the length invariant, which takes values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. This classification by Katz and Morrison identifies 6 possible partial resolutions of Kleinian singularities that…

Let $K$ be a field and let $\sigma$ be an automorphism and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. Then we show that the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ contains a free non-cyclic…

Any non-residually finite Baumslag-Solitar group has a non-residually finite image in the abstract commensuration of a nonabelian free group. This gives a new proof (avoiding Britton's Lemma) of the classification of residually finite…

For a normal subgroup $N$ of the free group $\F_d$ with at least two generators we introduce the radial limit set $\Lr(N,\Phi)$ of $N$ with respect to a graph directed Markov system $\Phi$ associated to $\F_d$. These sets are shown to…

Given the Hilbert space compression of two groups, we find bounds on the Hilbert space compression of their free product. We also investigate the Hilbert space compression of an HNN-extension of a group relative to a finite normal subgroup…

We indicate a natural generalization of the concept of subgroup commutativity degree of a finite group and a list of open problems on these new concepts.

In this paper, an explicit construction of a countable parafree Lie algebra over $\mathbb Z/2$ with nonzero second homology is given. It is also shown that the cohomological dimension of the pronilpotent completion of a free noncyclic…

Suppose a residually finite group $G$ acts cocompactly on a contractible complex with strict fundamental domain $Q$, where the stabilizers are either trivial or have normal $\mathbb{Z}$-subgroups. Let $\partial Q$ be the subcomplex of $Q$…

We study three problems related to the limit sets of discrete subgroups of PSL(n+1,C). In Chapter 2, we study the dynamics of solvable discrete subgroups of PSL(n+1,C). We prove that solvable groups are virtually triangularizable and we…

In this paper, we study operations on functors in the category of abelian groups simplar to the derivation in the sense of Dold-Puppe. They are defined as derived limits of a functor applied to the relation subgroup over a category of free…

Transfer Krull monoids are a recent concept including all commutative Krull domains and also, for example, wide classes of non-commutative Dedekind domains. We show that transfer Krull monoids are fully elastic (i.e., every rational number…

For a non-cyclic free group $F$, the second homology of its pronilpotent completion $H_2(\widehat F)$ is not a cotorsion group.

Adding two generators and one arbitrary relator to a nontrivial torsion-free group, we always obtain an SQ-universal group. In the course of the proof of this theorem, we obtain some other results of independent interest. For instance,…
