We describe an algorithm for deciding whether or not a given finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent group is decomposable as the direct product of nontrivial subgroups.

Nontrivial pairs of zero-divisors in group rings are introduced and discussed. A problem on the existence of nontrivial pairs of zero-divisors in group rings of free Burnside groups of odd exponent $n \gg 1$ is solved in the affirmative.…

In a previous paper [1] [MR4101040], we initiated a systematic study of semihypergroups and had a thorough discussion about some important analytic and algebraic objects associated to this class of objects. In this paper, we investigate…

We study the linear span of commutators of free random variables and show that these are the only quadratic forms which satisfy the following equivalent properties: * preservation free infinite divisibility * free and strong cancellation of…

Suppose a group $G$ is quasi-isometric to a free product of a finite set $S$ of finitely generated abelian groups; let $S'$ denote the set of ranks of the free abelian parts of the groups in $S$. Then $G$ is commensurable with the free…

We completely characterise when the sequence of free subgroup numbers of a finitely generated virtually free group is ultimately periodic modulo a given prime power.

Cumulants linearize convolution of measures. We use a formula of Good to define noncommutative cumulants in a very general setting.It turns out that the essential property needed is exchangeability of random variables. Roughly speaking the…

We derive a formula for expressing free cumulants whose entries are products of random variables in terms of the lattice structure of non-crossing partitions. We show the usefulness of that result by giving direct and conceptually simple…

We show that the compositions of positive integers may be interpreted in terms of powers of some power series, over arbitrary commutative ring. As consequences, several closed formulas for the compositions as well as for the generalized…

Free cumulants were introduced as the proper analog of classical cumulants in the theory of free probability. There is a mix of similarities and differences, when one considers the two families of cumulants. Whereas the combinatorics of…

This paper studies the triviality of commutators in central products of Cayley-Dickson loops. Two immediate outcomes of this study are (1) the construction of a sequence of non-commutative loops in which the chance of a random commutator to…

Suppose $G$ is a $\mathcal{T}$-group (finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent) with centralizers outside of the derived subgroup being abelian of rank equal to $\text{rank}(Z_1)+1$. This includes the class of free nilpotent groups…

We show that in the class of partially commutative groups, the conditions of being Howson, being fully residually free, and being free product of free-abelian groups, are equivalent.

We study random nilpotent groups in the well-established style of random groups, by choosing relators uniformly among freely reduced words of (nearly) equal length and letting the length tend to infinity. Whereas random groups are quotients…

Interpretation of a structure $\mathbb A$ in $\mathbb B$ allows to produce structures elementarily equivalent to $\mathbb A$ given those elementarily equivalent to $\mathbb B$. In particular, interpretation of the free group in $\mathbb N$…

We consider the class of finitely generated groups whose relators are powers of commutators of the generators. This class contains as a small subclass graph groups (also called RAAGs), namely if all powers are one. Graph groups are the only…

The classical theory of free analysis generalizes the noncommutative (nc) polynomials and rational functions, easily providing such results as an nc analogue of the Jacobian conjecture. However, the classical theory misses out on important…
