The solvable Baumslag Solitar groups $\text{BS}(1,n)$ each admit a canonical model space, $X_n$. We give a complete classification of lattices in $G_n = \text{Isom}^+(X_n)$ and find that such lattices fail to be strongly…

We investigate translation length functions for two-generated groups acting by isometries on $\Lambda$-trees, where $\Lambda$ is a totally ordered abelian group. In this context, we provide an explicit formula for the translation length of…

An important function attached to a complex simple Lie group $G$ is its asymptotic character $X(\lambda,x)$ (where $\lambda,x$ are real (co)weights of $G$) - the Fourier transform in $x$ of its Duistermaat-Heckman function $DH_\lambda(p)$…

We provide polynomial lower bounds for residual finiteness of residually finite, finitely generated solvable groups that admit infinite order elements in the Fitting subgroup of strict distortion at least exponential. For this class of…

In this paper we classify Baumslag-Solitar groups up to commensurability. In order to prove our main result we give a solution to the isomorphism problem for a subclass of Generalised Baumslag-Solitar groups.

Golan and Sapir \cite{MR3978542} proved that the Thompson's groups $F$, $T$ and $V$ have linear divergence. In the current paper, we focus on the divergence properties of several generalisation of the Thompson's groups, we first consider…

In this note we characterise all finitely generated groups elementarily equivalent to a solvable Baumslag-Solitar group BS$(1,n)$. It turns out that a finitely generated group $G$ is elementarily equivalent to BS$(1,n)$ if and only if $G$…

We build the first examples of diffeomorphisms that are distorted in a group of $C^r$ diffeomorphisms yet undistorted in the corresponding group of $C^s$ diffeomorphisms, where $r < s$. This explicit construction is performed for the closed…

We show that the \s{\phi}-labeled Thompson groups and the twisted Brin--Thompson groups are boundedly acyclic. This allows us to prove several new embedding results for groups. First, every group of type $F_n$ embeds quasi-isometrically…

We construct examples of non-bi-orderable one-relator groups without generalized torsion. This answers a question asked in [2].

Ghys and Sergiescu proved in the $80$s that Thompson's group $T$, and hence $F$, admits actions by $C^{\infty}$ diffeomorphisms of the circle . They proved that the standard actions of these groups are topologically conjugate to a group of…

We introduce a new isomorphism invariant for generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) groups, which we call the limit angle. Unlike previously known invariants, which are primarily algebraic, the limit angle admits a dynamical interpretation,…

The submonoid of the $3$-strand braid group $\mathcal{B}_3$ generated by $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_1 \sigma_2$ is known to yield an exotic Garside structure on $\mathcal{B}_3$. We introduce and study an infinite family $(M_n)_{n\geq 1}$ of…

We find the lower central series for residually nilpotent Baumslag-Solitar groups, and find the intersection of all terms of the lower central series. Also, we find non-abelian Bauslag-Solitar groups for which the lower central series has…

We classify the finite-dimensional irreducible linear representations of the Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(p,q) = < a, b | a b^p = b^q a > for relatively prime p and q. The general strategy of the argument is to consider the matrix group given…

We discuss boundedness and distortion in transformation groups. We show that the groups $\mathrm{Diff}^r_0(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\mathrm{Diff}^r(\mathbb{R}^n)$ have the strong distortion property, whenever $0 \leq r \leq \infty, r \neq n+1$.…

We prove that for any natural n>1, the abstract commensurator group of the Baumslag - Solitar group BS(1,n) is isomorphic to the group of 2 by 2 upper triangular matrices A over rational numbers with A_{11}=1. We also prove that for any…

We prove that the braided Thompson group $BV$ has a linear divergence function. By the work of Dru\c{t}u, Mozes, and Sapir, this leads none of asymptotic cones of $BV$ has a cut-point.

In this paper we give a complete description of the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants of the Lodha-Moore groups. The second author previously computed the first two invariants, and here we show that all the higher invariants coincide…

Let $BS(1,n)= <a,b : a b a ^{-1} = b ^n>$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group, where $n \geq 2$. We study representations of $BS(1, n)$ by homeomorphisms of closed surfaces with (pseudo-)Anosov elements. That is, we consider a closed…
