We show that just infinite quotients of finitely generated subgroups of Richard Thompson's group F are virtually abelian, answering a question of Grigorchuk. We show the same holds for the group of piecewise linear orientation preserving…

In this paper we study the $\mathbb{A}^1$-invariance of the unstable functor $\mathrm{K}_2(\Phi, R)$ in the case when $\Phi$ is an irreducible root system of type $\mathsf{ADE}$ containing $\mathsf{A}_4$ and not of type $\mathsf{E}_8$. We…

In this article, we initiate the study of the large-scale geometry of permutational wreath products of the form $F\wr_{H/N}H$, where $H$ is finitely presented and where $N$ is a normal subgroup of $H$ satisfying a certain assumption of non…

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over the field with $p$ elements, where $p$ is a prime number. Given arbitrary $\alpha,\beta\in \mathrm{GL}(V)$, we consider the semidirect products $V\rtimes\langle \alpha\rangle$ and…

We give a quadratic-time explicit and computable algorithm to solve the word problem for Artin groups that do not contain any relations of length 3. Furthermore, we prove that, given two geodesic words representing the same element, one can…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. In this paper we show that in the linear case ($\Phi=\mathsf{A}_\ell$, $\ell \geq 4$) and even orthogonal case ($\Phi = \mathsf{D}_\ell$, $\ell\geq 7$, $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2$) the unstable functor…

We prove the centrality of $\mathrm{K}_2 (\mathsf{F}_4, \,R)$ for an arbitrary commutative ring $R$. This completes the proof of the centrality of $\mathrm K_2(\Phi,\, R)$ for any root system $\Phi$ of rank $\geq 3$. Our proof uses only…

It is shown, from $\sigma$-centered Martin's Axiom, that there exists a proper dense subgroup of the symmetric group on a countably infinite set whose natural action on sufficiently flexible relational structures is transitive. This allows…

A group $G$ is said to have dense ${\cal CD}$-subgroups if each non-empty open interval of the subgroup lattice $L(G)$ contains a subgroup in the Chermak--Delgado lattice ${\cal CD}(G)$. In this note, we study finite groups satisfying this…

By imposing conditions upon the index of a self-centralizing subgroup of a group, and upon the index of the center of the group, we are able to classify the Chermak-Delgado lattice of the group. This is our main result. We use this result…

About 20 years ago, Bogdan Nica conjectured that the boundary of any word-hyperbolic group admits admits a fixed-point-free involution. In this very short article, we prove a variation of the conjecture, replacing word-hyperbolic groups…

This paper explores acylindrical actions on trees, building on previous works related to the mapping class group and projection complexes. We demonstrate that the quotient action of a $1$-acylindrical action of a group on a tree by an…

We establish that standard arithmetic subgroups of a special orthogonal group ${\rm SO}(1,n)$ are conjugacy separable. As an application we deduce this property for unit groups of certain integer group rings. We also prove that finite…

We give a characterization of toral relatively hyperbolic virtually special groups in terms of the profinite completion. We also prove a Tits alternative for subgroups of the profinite completion $\hat G$ of a relatively hyperbolic…

We give sufficient conditions for left- and bi-orderability of fundamental groups of Ore categories in terms of indirect factors, including Thompson groups and many of their generalizations. Besides recovering known results, we prove that…

Continuing recent studies of both the hereditary and super properties of certain classes of Abelian groups, we explore in-depth what is the situation in the quite large class consisting of directly finite Abelian groups. Trying to connect…

A Cayley digraph on a group $G$ is called NNN if the Cayley digraph is normal and its automorphism group contains a non-normal regular subgroup isomorphic to $G$. A group is called NNND-group or NNN-group if there is an NNN Cayley digraph…

We investigate the use of labelled graphs as a Morita equivalence invariant for inverse semigroups. We construct a labelled graph from a combinatorial inverse semigroup $S$ with $0$ admitting a special set of idempotent $\mathcal{D}$-class…

For G, H two finite collections of finitely generated subgroups of a right-angled Artin group A, the untwisted McCool group U(A; G, Ht) is the subgroup of untwisted outer automorphisms of A preserving the conjugacy class of each element of…

We generalize the notions of composition series and composition factors for profinite groups, and prove a profinite version of the Jordan-Holder Theorem. We apply this to prove a Galois Theorem for infinite prosolvable extensions. In…
