This article is concerned with the representation growth of profinite groups over finite fields. We investigate the structure of groups with uniformly bounded exponential representation growth (UBERG). Using crown-based powers we obtain…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, $G$ a finite cyclic group of order $p^k$ and $p$ is an odd prime with ${\rm gcd}(q,p)=1$. In this article, we determine an explicit expression for the primitive idempotents of $\mathbb…

We establish new characterizations of primitive elements and free factors in free groups, which are based on the distributions they induce on finite groups. For every finite group $G$, a word $w$ in the free group on $k$ generators induces…

The main result of the paper is the following theorem. Let $q$ be a prime and $A$ an elementary abelian group of order $q^3$. Suppose that $A$ acts coprimely on a profinite group $G$ and assume that $C_G(a)$ is locally nilpotent for each…

We introduce the class of permawound unipotent groups, and show that they simultaneously satisfy certain "ubiquity" and "rigidity" properties that in combination render them very useful in the study of general wound unipotent groups. As an…

Properly specializing the parameters in ``Schnizer modules'', for type A,B,C and D, we get its unique primitive vector. Then we show that the module generated by the primitive vector is an irreducible highest weight module of finite…

We characterize the virtually nilpotent finitely generated groups (or, equivalently by Gromov's theorem, groups of polynomial growth) for which the Domino Problem is decidable: These are the virtually free groups, i.e. finite groups, and…

We study finitely generated nilpotent groups $G$ given by full rank finite presentations $\langle A \mid R\rangle$ in the variety $\mathcal{N}_c$ of nilpotent groups of class at most $c$, where $c \geq 2$. We prove that if the deficiency…

Primitive prime divisors play an important role in group theory and number theory. We study a certain number theoretic quantity, called $\Phi^*_n(q)$, which is closely related to the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n(x)$ and to primitive prime…

We show that there is no algorithm deciding whether the maximal residually free quotient of a given finitely presented group is finitely presentable or not. Given a finitely generated subgroup G of a finite product of limit groups, we…

If a finite group G has a presentation with d generators and r relations, it is well-known that r - d is at least the rank of the Schur multiplier of G; a presentation is called efficient if equality holds. There is an analogous definition…

Let $G$ be a profinite group in which for every element $x\in G$ there exists a natural number $q=q(x)$ such that $x^q$ is Engel. We show that $G$ is locally virtually nilpotent. Further, let $p$ be a prime and $G$ a finitely generated…

We go back and forth between, on the one hand, presentations of arithmetic and Kac-Moody groups and, on the other hand, presentations of profinite groups, deducing along the way new results on both.

We completely characterise when the sequence of free subgroup numbers of a finitely generated virtually free group is ultimately periodic modulo a given prime power.

Henry Wilton classified when a prime three-manifold $M$ has a residually free fundamental group $\pi_1 M$. We prove that the groups $\pi_1 M\times \mathbb Z^n$ are profinitely rigid within finitely generated residually free groups. We also…

In a 1995 paper, Hof, Knill and Simon obtain a sufficient combinatorial criterion on the hull $\Omega$ of the potential of a discrete Schr\"odinger operator which guarantees purely singular continuous spectrum on a generic subset of…

A complete set of primitive orthogonal idempotents plays an important role in the representation theory of an associative algebra. In this paper, we construct a complete set of primitive orthogonal idempotents for any finite Brandt…

We use the theory of finite W-algebras associated to nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra g = gl_N(C) to give another proof of Moeglin's theorem about completely prime primitive ideals in the enveloping algebra U(g). We also make some new…

Recently, in weighted automata theory the weight structure of strong bimonoids has found much interest; they form a generalization of semirings and are closely related to near-semirings studied in algebra. Here, we define polynomials over a…

We initiate the study of profinite rigidity for modules over a Noetherian domain: to what extent are these objects determined by their finite images? We establish foundational statements in analogy to classical results in the category of…
