We present various results on disconnected reductive groups, in particular about the characteristic 0 representation theory of such groups over finite fields.

We give a brief overview of the current state of the study of the deformation theory of Kleinian groups. The topics covered include the definition of the deformation space of a Kleinian group and of several important subspaces; a discussion…

This text consists of the introduction, table of contents, and bibliography of a long manuscript (703 pages) that is currently submitted for publication. This manuscript develops an extension of Garside's approach to braid groups and…

Using the Burnside ring theoretic methods a new setting and a complete description of the Artin exponent $A(G)$ of finite $p$-groups was obtained in a previous article of the first-named author. In this paper, we compute $A(G)$ for any…

This is a significant revision of the early version of this paper which was posted last December. The speculative section has been removed in light of some recent results of Morita and Kawazumi. Numerous typos have been fixed. The companion…

All groups are 2-generator. For any prime-power q, Theorem 1 constructs a solvable matrix group over a quotient of a Laurent polynomial ring. This group is closely related to a group of exponent q as shown in Theorems 2 & 3 . Theorem 4 in…

We survey several notions of Mackey functors and biset functors found in the literature and prove some old and new theorems comparing them. While little here will surprise the experts, we draw a conceptual and unified picture by making…

Let A be an associative algebra over a field, and let M be a finite family of right A-modules. Study of the noncommutative deformation functor of the family M leads to the construction of the algebra of observables and the Generalized…

In this note, we define the Burnside ring of a monoid, generalizing the construction for groups. After giving foundational definitions, we characterize transitive M-sets and their automorphisms, then prove a structure theorem for a broad…

This paper is a fundamental study of the Real $2$-representation theory of $2$-groups. It also contains many new results in the ordinary (non-Real) case. Our framework relies on a $2$-equivariant Morita bicategory, where a novel…

The Linearization Theorem for proper Lie groupoids organizes and generalizes several results for classic geometries. Despite the various approaches and recent works on the subject, the problem of understanding invariant linearization…

We construct small cancellation labellings for some infinite sequences of finite graphs of bounded degree. We use them to define infinite graphical small cancellation presentations of groups. This technique allows us to provide examples of…

We fix a path model for the space of filters of the inverse semigroup $\mathcal{S}_\Lambda$ associated to a left cancellative small category $\Lambda$. Then, we compute its tight groupoid, thus giving a representation of its $C^*$-algebra…

In this paper, we extend the classical theory of crossed $G$-sets and the crossed Burnside ring from a finite group $G$ to a finite groupoid $\mathcal{G}$. We introduce a natural monoidal structure on the category of crossed…

We show that there is significant cancellation in certain exponential sums over small multiplicative subgroups of finite fields, giving an exposition of the arguments by Bourgain and Chang.

We construct finitely generated groups of small period growth, i.e. groups where the maximum order of an element of word length $n$ grows very slowly in $n$. This answers a question of Bradford related to the lawlessness growth of groups…

We overview a web of conjectures about torsors under reductive groups over regular rings and survey some techniques that have been used for making progress on such problems.

In this talk we introduce several topics in combinatorial number theory which are related to groups; the topics include combinatorial aspects of covers of groups by cosets, and also restricted sumsets and zero-sum problems on abelian…

The book "N-ary Groups" (in Russian) consists of two Parts. It is intended on the one hand as an initial introduction to the theory of n-ary groups, and on the other hand it contains the published results by the author on this subject. At…

Using topological notions of translation-like actions introduced by Schneider, we give a positive answer to a geometric version of Burnside problem for locally compact group. The main theorem states that a locally compact group is…
