For $\beta\in{\mathbb Z}$, let $G(\beta)=\langle A,B\,|\, A^{[A,B]}=A,\, B^{[B,A]}=B^\beta\rangle$ be the infinite Macdonald group, and set $C=[A,B]$. Then $G(\beta)$ is a nilpotent polycyclic group of the form $\langle…

Mathematical core of quantum mechanics is the theory of unitary representations of symmetries of physical systems. We argue that quantum behavior is a natural result of extraction of "observable" information about systems containing…

To a finite quadratic module, that is, a finite abelian group D together with a non-singular quadratic form Q:D --> Q/Z, it is possible to associate a representation of either the modular group, SL(2,Z), or its metaplectic cover, Mp(2,Z),…

We define a numerical quasi-isometry invariant of a finitely generated group, whose values parametrize the difference between the group being uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space and the reduced C*-algebra of the group being exact.

Let $H$ be an additively written monoid and let $\mathcal{P}_{0}(H)$ denote the reduced power monoid of $H$, that is, the monoid consisting of all subsets of $H$ containing $0$ with set addition as operation. Following work of Tringali, Wen…

For every finite abelian group $A$ and $n\geq 3$, we construct a finitely presented group defined by explicit generators and relations, such that its center is $\pi_n(\Sigma K(A,1))$.

We introduce and study the notion of the $G$-Tutte polynomial for a list $\mathcal{A}$ of elements in a finitely generated abelian group $\Gamma$ and an abelian group $G$, which is defined by counting the number of homomorphisms from…

Difference sets are subsets of a group satisfying certain combinatorial property with respect to the group operation. They can be characterized using an equality in the group ring of the corresponding group. In this paper, we exploit the…

Consider a tree $\mathbb T$, all whose vertices have countable valence; its boundary is the Baire space $\mathbb{B} \simeq\mathbb{N}^{\mathbb N}$; continued fractions expansions identify the set of irrational numbers $\mathbb{R}\setminus…

We investigate a representation of the automorphism group of a connected graph $X$ in the group of unimodular matrices $U_\beta$ of dimension $\beta$, where $\beta$ is the Betti number of graph $X$. We classify the graphs for which the…

Let $K$ be the function field of a curve $C$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of either odd or zero characteristic. Following the work by Serre and Mason on $\mathrm{SL}_2$, we study the action of arithmetic subgroups of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ on its…

A closed Riemann surface $S$ (of genus at least one) is called an origami curve if it admits a non-constant holomorphic map $\beta:S \to E$ with at most one branch value, where $E$ is a genus one Riemann surface. In this case, $(S,\beta)$…

We consider the computational problem of determining the unit group of a finite ring, by which we mean the computation of a finite presentation together with an algorithm to express units as words in the generators. We show that the problem…

Following Arthur's study of the representations of the orthogonal and symplectic groups, we prove many cases of both the local and global Arthur conjectures for tempered representations of the unitary group. This completes the proof of…

The automorphism group of a curve is studied from the viewpoint of the canonical embedding and Petri's theorem. A criterion for identifying the automorphism group as an algebraic subgroup the general linear group is given. Furthermore the…

We construct for every connected locally finite graph $\Pi$ the quantum automorphism group $\text{QAut}\ \Pi$ as a locally compact quantum group. When $\Pi$ is vertex transitive, we associate to $\Pi$ a new unitary tensor category…

The finiteness property is an important arithmetical property of beta-expansions. We exhibit classes of Pisot numbers $\beta$ having the negative finiteness property, that is the set of finite $(-\beta)$-expansions is equal to…

We classify the pairs $(X,\pi)$, where $\pi\colon X\to S$ is a $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundle over a non-rational geometrically ruled surface $S$ and $\mathrm{Aut}^\circ(X)$ is relatively maximal, i.e., maximal with respect to the inclusion in the…

A group, defined as set with associative multiplication and inverse, is a natural structure describing the symmetry of a space. The concept of group generalizes to group objects internal to other categories than sets. But there are yet more…

Let $A$ be a set and $f:A\rightarrow A$ a bijective function. Necessary and sufficient conditions on $f$ are determined which makes it possible to endow $A$ with a binary operation $*$ such that $(A,*)$ is a cyclic group and $f\in…
