We introduce a formalism of infinite, linearly ordered products in general groups. Using this, we define infinite compositions in certain groups of formal power series such as transseries. We show that such groups can sometimes be…

This article presents the construction of finitely generated branch groups with uncountably many maximal subgroups using embedding techniques. This addresses a question posed by Grigorchuk.

In the present work we explore relationships between multiplicative functions defined in \cite{Garonzi_2018}, \cite{Lazorec}. To do so, we use other important quotients defined and studied in \cite{ndeg}, \cite{Marius}, thus establishing…

Let $n,d \in \mathbb N$ and $w \in \mathbb F_n$ be non-trivial. We prove that the relatively free group of rank $d$ in the variety defined by the group law $w$ has a largest anabelian finite quotient and estimate its size. Here, a finite…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed, orientable, hyperbolic surface $S$. The $n$-power quotient, $\Gamma(n)$, is the quotient of $\Gamma$ by the $n$th powers of simple closed curves. We prove an analogue of the…

The notion of chain groups of homeomorphisms of the interval was introduced by Kim, Koberda and Lodha as a generalization of Thompson's group $F$. In this paper, we study an $S^1$-version of chain groups: ring groups. We study the…

In the paper "The second cohomology of nilpotent orbits in classical Lie algebras, Kyoto J. Math. 60 (2020), no. 2, 717-799" by I. Biswas, P. Chatterjee, and C. Maity, explicit descriptions of the second and first real de Rham cohomology…

We record for reference a detailed description of the automorphism groups of the groups of order $p^{2} q$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes.

In this note, we first study the notion of subexponential decay (SD) for countable groups with respect to a length function, which generalizes the well-known rapid decay (RD) property, first discovered by Haagerup in 1979. Several natural…

We study the distribution of normal subgroups in non-torsion, regular branch multi-EGS groups and show that the congruence completions of such groups have bounded finite central width. In particular, we show that the profinite completion of…

This survey was written on the occasion of the course I gave at the Winterbraids XIV workshop in Bordeaux (2025). Its main purpose is to present the techniques that have proven most effective in the study of parabolic subgroups of Artin…

Leighton's Graph Covering Theorem states that if two finite graphs have the same universal covering tree, then they also have a common finite degree cover. Bass and Kulkarni gave an alternative proof of this fact using tree lattices. We…

Let $G$ be a $p$-adic analytic pro-$p$ group of dimension $d$. We produce an approximate series which descends regularly in strata and whose terms deviate from the lower $p$-series in a uniformly bounded way. This brings to light a new set…

This paper almost classifies the maximal subgroups of $E_7(q)$ for general $q$ a power of a prime $p$. Only four potential maximal subgroups are missing: $PSL_2(7)$ (unknown for $p\neq 2,3,7$), $PSL_2(8)$ ($p=2$) and $PSL_2(9)=A_6$ ($p\neq…

We prove an extension property for $M_d$-multipliers from a subgroup to the ambient group, showing that $M_{d+1}(G)$ is strictly contained in $M_d(G)$ whenever $G$ contains a free subgroup. Another consequence of this result is the…

We present obstruction results for self-similar groups regarding the generation of free groups. As a main consequence of our main results, we solve an open problem posed by Grigorchuk by showing that in an automaton group where a…

The Hanna Neumann Conjecture (HNC) for a free group $G$ predicts that $\overline{\chi}(U\cap V)\leq \overline{\chi} (U)\overline{\chi}(V)$ for all finitely generated subgroups $U$ and $V$, where $\overline{\chi}(H) = \max\{-\chi(H),0\}$…

We analyze the proof by Lehnert and Schweitzer that the word problem of the Thompson group V is co-context-free, and we show that this word problem is the complement of the cyclic closure of a union of reverse deterministic context-free…

We prove the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for Artin groups of dimension $3$. As an ingredient, we introduce a new form of combinatorial non-positive curvature.

We present an exposition of the Auinger-Steinberg proof of the Ribes-Zalesski\u{i} product theorem for pro-V topologies, where V is a pseudovariety of groups closed under extensions with abelian kernel. This proof is self-contained and is…
