In this paper, we prove that all finitely generated 3-manifold groups are Grothendieck rigid. More precisely, for any finitely generated 3-manifold group $G$ and any finitely generated proper subgroup $H<G$, we prove that the inclusion…
V.I. Kopeiko proved that over a euclidean ring, the symplectic group defined with respect to the standard skew-symmetric matrix is same as the elementary symplectic group. Here we generalise the result of Kopeiko for a symplectic group…
We show that every finite abelian group $G$ occurs as the group of rational points of an ordinary abelian variety over $\mathbb{F}_2$, $\mathbb{F}_3$ and $\mathbb{F}_5$. We produce partial results for abelian varieties over a general finite…
It is known that a group shift on a polycyclic group is necessarily of finite type. We show that, for trivial reasons, if a group does not satisfy the maximal condition on subgroups, then it admits non-SFT abelian group shifts. In…
We call a semigroup $S$ f-noetherian if every right congruence of finite index on $S$ is finitely generated. We prove that every finitely generated semigroup is f-noetherian, and investigate whether the properties of being f-noetherian and…
A convenient bicategory of topological stacks is constructed which is both complete and Cartesian closed. This bicategory, called the bicategory of compactly generated stacks, is the analogue of classical topological stacks, but for a…
We produce lattice extensions of a dense family of classical Schottky subgroups of the isometry group of $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space. The extensions produced are said to be systolic, since all loxodromic elements with short translation…
We classify all torsion-free derived arithmetic Fuchsian groups of genus two by commensurability class. In particular, we show that there exist no such groups arising from quaternion algebras over number fields of degree greater than 5. We…
It is shown that every separable abelian topological group is isomorphic with a topological subgroup of a monothetic group (that is, a topological group with a single topological generator). In particular, every separable metrizable abelian…
We prove that the Griffiths group of 3-cycles homologous to zero modulo algebraic equivalence, on a generic hypersurfaces of dimension 7 and degree 3 is not finitely generated, even when tensored with Q. Using this and a result of Nori, we…
The aim of this paper is to compare and contrast the class of residually finite groups with the class of equationally Noetherian groups - groups over which every system of coefficient-free equations is equivalent to a finite subsystem. It…
If a finitely generated semigroup S has a hopfian (meaning: every surjective endomorphism is an automorphism) cofinite subsemigroup T then S is hopfian too. This no longer holds if S is not finitely generated. There exists a finitely…
It is shown that any finitely generated non-elementary Fuchsian group has among its homomorphic images all but finitely many of the alternating groups. This settles in the affirmative a conjecture of Graham Higman.
Take a Teichm\"uller disc whose corresponding flat surface has a Veech-Group that contains a parabolic element. We look at its image in Schottkyspace and show that we can always construct a Schottky covering such that this image is not a…
The nongeneric six- and eightdimensional orbits of SO(4,2) are described in explicitly covariant way. The relevant Hamiltonian dynamical systems are constructed and canonically quantized. It is shown that the resulting unitary…
In his 1990 doctoral thesis, Todd Drumm showed that proper affine deformations of free Fuchsian groups could be constructed as Schottky groups using a new family of hypersurfaces called "crooked planes." The existence of proper affine…
In this article we prove that every automorphism of a universal sofic group is class preserving, i.e. preserves the conjugacy classes
We use rigid analytic uniformization by Schottky groups to give a bound for the order of the abelian subgroups of the automorphism group of a Mumford curve in terms of its genus.
We show that there are infinitely many commensurability classes of pseudomodular groups, thus answering a question raised by Long and Reid. These are Fuchsian groups whose cusp set is all of the rationals but which are not commensurable to…
The structure of monoidal categories in which every arrow is invertible is analyzed in this paper, where we develop a 3-dimensional Schreier-Grothendieck theory of non-abelian factor sets for their classification. In particular, we state…
