If $G$ is a finitely generated group and $X$ is a Cayley graph of $G$, denote by $\mathcal{C}_1^X(G)$ the subgroup of all automorphisms of $X$ commensurating $G$ and fixing the vertex corresponding to the identity. Building on the work of…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\chi$ be an irreducible character of $G$. The codegree of $\chi$ is defined as $\chi^c(1) =\frac{|G: \ker\chi|}{\chi(1)}$. In a paper by Gao, Wang, and Chen, it was shown that $G$ cannot satisfy the condition…

In this paper we study a group G which is the quotient of a free product of three non-trivial groups by the normal closure of a single element. In particular we show that if the relator has length at most eight, then G is non-trivial. In…

In this paper we study a group G which is the quotient of a free product of groups by the normal closure of a word that is contained in a in a subgroup which has the form of a generalised triangle group. We use known properties of…

We establish {\em{virtual surjection to pairs}} (VSP) as a general criterion for the finite presentability of subdirect products of groups: if $\Gamma_1,...,\Gamma_n$ are finitely presented and $S<\Gamma_1\times...\times\Gamma_n$ projects…

Let $G$ be a finite group and define $\rho(G) = \prod_{x \in G} o(x)$, where $o(x)$ denotes the order of the element $x \in G$. Let $\Omega$ be the prime omega function giving the number of (not necessarily distinct) prime factors of a…

In "On the asymptotics of the growth of 2-step nilpotent groups" (J. London Math. Soc. (2), 58 (1998)), we remarked that, contrary to 2-step nilpotent simply connected Lie groups, in 3-step nilpotent simply connected Lie groups it is…

This note is a reproduction of the well known and historically significant series of notes called "The Edmonton Notes on Nilpotent Groups" based on lectures given by Philip Hall using the copy found in the Queen Mary College Mathematics…

We give a new elementary proof of the theorem that a natural map from Milnor's construction $F[S^1]$ to the simplicial group $\mathrm{AP}$ of pure braids is injective. Our approach is group-theoretic and does not rely on Lie algebras.

A general result by Jackson (Flat algebras and the translation of universal Horn logic to equational logic, J. Symb. Log. 73(1) (2008) 90--128) implies that the lattice of all quasivarieties of groups of exponent dividing $n$ embeds into…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $m$ be an integer. We employ the notation $g_i$ to represent elements $(g,i)$ in the Cartesian product $G \times \mathbb{Z}_m$, where $\mathbb{Z}_m$ denotes integers modulo $m$. For given sets $T_{i,j}…

We prove the $\Sigma^1$-conjecture for two families of Artin groups: Artin groups such that there exists a prime number $p$ dividing $\frac{l(e)}{2}$ for every edge $e$ with even label $>2$ and balanced Artin groups. The family of balanced…

Virtual Artin groups were recently introduced by Bellingeri, Paris, and Thiel as broad generalizations of the well-known virtual braid groups. For each Coxeter graph $\Gamma$, they defined the virtual Artin group $VA[\Gamma]$, which is…

We study the real spectrum compactification of character varieties of finitely generated groups in semisimple Lie groups. This provides a compactification with good topological properties, and we interpret the boundary points in terms of…

We extend several results of Helfer, Wise, Louder and Wilton related to coherence in one-relator groups to the more general setting of one-relator products of locally indicable groups. The methods developed to do so also give rise to a new…

The purpose of this paper is to extend some useful results, such as the multiplication being open, previously known for suitable finitely generated relatively free profinite semigroups, to relatively free profinite semigroupoids over…

The structure of groups for which certain sets of commutator subgroups are finite is investigated, with a particular focus on the relationship between these groups and those with finite derived subgroup.

There are ten distinct two-element semirings up to isomorphism, denoted \( L_2, R_2, M_2, D_2, N_2, T_2, Z_2, W_2, Z_7 \), and \( Z_8 \) (see \cite{bk}). Among these, the multiplicative reductions of \( M_2, D_2, W_2 \), and \( Z_8 \) form…

We prove a dynamical variant of the Tits alternative for the group of almost automorphisms of a locally finite tree $\mathcal{T}$: a group of almost automorphisms of $\mathcal{T}$ either contains a nonabelian free group playing ping-pong on…

We generalise a result of D. J. Collins on intersections of conjugates of Magnus subgroups of one-relator groups to the context of one-relator products of locally indicable groups.
