Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the classes of weakly surjunctive and linearly surjunctive groups which include all sofic groups and more generally all surjunctive groups. We investigate various properties of such groups and establish in particular a reversibility and invertibility theorem for injective endomorphisms of symbolic group varieties over weakly surjunctive group universes with algebraic group alphabets in arbitrary characteristic. We also obtain novel evidence related to Kaplansky's stable finiteness conjecture.
