A notion of fundamental group of spectral triples has been introduced. The notion uses a noncommutative analogue of unramified coverings. It was shown that in commutative case this fundamental group is a profinite completion of fundamental…

For any analytically finite Riemann surface, the Teichm\"uller modular group is countable, but it is not easy to find an analytically infinite Riemann surface for which the Teichm\"uller modular group is countable. In this paper, we show…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Peyre shows that there is a group $G$ of order $p^{12}$ such that $H_{nr}^3(\bm{C}(G), \bm{Q}/\bm{Z})$ is non-trivial. Using Peyre's method, we are able to prove that the same conclusion is true for some…

We construct the first examples of an algorithmically complex finitely presented residually finite groups and first examples of finitely presented residually finite groups with arbitrarily large (recursive) Dehn function and depth function.…

An uncountable collection of arcs in S^3 is constructed, each member of which is wild precisely at its endpoints, such that the fundamental groups of their complements are non-trivial, pairwise non-isomorphic, and indecomposable with…

We show that it is consistent to have an uncountable sequential group of intermediate sequential order while no countable such groups exist. This is proved by adding $\omega_2$ Cohen reals to a model of $\diamondsuit$.

The present note surveys my research related to generalizing notions of abelian group theory to non-commutative case and applying them particularly to investigate fundamental groups.

We prove that if the fundamental group of an arbitrary three-manifold -- not necessarily closed, nor orientable -- is a Kaehler group, then it is either finite or the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface.

We prove that there is no algorithm that can determine whether or not a finitely presented group has a non-trivial finite quotient; indeed, this remains undecidable among the fundamental groups of compact, non-positively curved square…

We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…

We prove that the elementary theory of Thompson's group $F$ is hereditarily undecidable.

Falbel, Koseleff and Rouillier computed a large number of boundary unipotent CR representations of fundamental groups of non compact three-manifolds. Those representations are not always discrete. By experimentally computing their limit…

We show that unitary groups of II$_1$ factors and of properly infinite von Neumann algebras have strong uncountable cofinality. In particular, we obtain a short alternative proof for the strong uncountable cofinality of…

For $c>0$, let $X_c$ denote the set of $x\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{Q}$ such that $\left| x-\frac{p}{q} \right|<\frac{1}{cq^2}$ has only finitely many rational solutions $\frac{p}{q}$. It is a classical fact, known since the 1950s, that…

A group is properly 3-realizable if it is the fundamental group of a compact polyhedron whose universal covering is proper homotopically equivalent to some 3-manifold. We prove that when such a group is also quasi-simply filtered then it…

We show that fundamental groups of compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary are Grothendieck rigid.

It is proved that the fundamental group of a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and certain volume growth conditions is trivial or finite.

Let B^3 be the closed unit ball in R^3 and S^2 its boundary. We define a family of pseudo metrics on B^3. As an application, We prove that for any countable-to-one function f:S^2\to [0,a], the set NM^n_f={x\in S^2 | there exists y\in S^2…

This somewhat unusual proof for the fact that the reals are uncountable, which is adapted from one of Bourbaki's proofs in "Fonctions d'une variable reelle", may be of some interest.

We provide two new proofs of a theorem of Cooper, Long and Reid which asserts that, apart from an explicit finite list of exceptional manifolds, any compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold with non-empty boundary has large fundamental…
