In this paper, we prove that for a large class of growth-decay-fragmentation problems the solution semigroup is analytic and compact and thus has the Asynchronous Exponential Growth property.

We give a new proof of Gromov's theorem that any finitely generated group of polynomial growth has a finite index nilpotent subgroup. Unlike the original proof, it does not rely on the Montgomery-Zippin-Yamabe structure theory of locally…

We consider the lattice of subsemigroups of the general linear group over an Artinian ring containing the group of diagonal matrices and show that every such semigroup is actually a group.

We provide the first example of a finitely presented, and the first example of a simple, group of non-uniform exponential growth. The example is given by Thompson's group V.

We prove that the growth rate of an endomorphism of a finitely generated nilpotent group equals to the growth rate of induced endomorphism on its abelinization, generalizing the corresponding result for an automorphism in [14]. We also…

In the past many papers have appeared which simulated surface growth with different growth models. The results showed that, if models differed only slightly in their `growth' rules, the resulting surfaces may belong to different…

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…

A word in a free group is called ``potentially positive'' if it is automorphic to an element which is written with only positive exponents. We will develop automata to analyze properties of potentially positive words. We will use these to…

We prove that the word problem for the infinite cyclic group is not EDT0L, and obtain as a corollary that a finitely generated group with EDT0L word problem must be torsion. In addition, we show that the property of having an EDT0L word…

Dimension growth functions of groups have been introduced by Gromov in 1999. We prove that every solvable finitely generated subgroups of the R. Thompson group $F$ has polynomial dimension growth while the group $F$ itself, and some…

A recent article of J.P. Bell, K. Huang, W. Peng and T.J. Tucker establishes an analog of the Tits alternative for semigroups of endomorphisms of the projective line. The proof involves a ping-pong argument on arithmetic height functions.…

We construct an increasing, submultiplicative, arbitrarily rapid function which is not equivalent to the growth function of any finitely generated algebra, demonstrating the difficulty in characterizing growth functions in an asymptotic…

We construct and study finitely presented groups with quadratic Dehn function (QD-groups) and present the following applications of the method developed in our recent papers. (1) The isomorphism problem is undecidable in the class of…

We consider a new family of factorial languages whose subword complexity grows as $\Theta(n^{\alpha})$, where $\alpha$ is the root of some transcendent equation. Analytical methods and in particular, a corollary of the Wiener-Pitt theorem,…

Exchange-driven growth is a process in which pairs of clusters interact and exchange a single unit of mass. The rate of exchange is given by an interaction kernel $K(j,k)$ which depends on the masses of the two interacting clusters. In this…

We initiate the study of the \emph{twisted conjugacy growth series} of a finitely generated group, the formal power series associated to the twisted conjugacy growth function. Our main result is that, for a virtually abelian group, this…

We study the connection between the dimension of certain spaces of harmonic functions on a group and its geometric and algebraic properties. Our main result shows that (for sufficiently "nice" random walk measures) a connected, compactly…

Given an $\mathbb{N}$-weighted tree automaton, we give a decision procedure for exponential vs polynomial growth (with respect to the input size) in quadratic time, and an algorithm that computes the exact polynomial degree of growth in…

We introduce a special class of real semiflows, which is used to define a general type of evolution semigroups, associated to not necessarily exponentially bounded evolution families. Giving spectral characterizations of the corresponding…

We determine the possible functions that can occur, up to asymptotic equivalence, as growth functions of semigroups, hereditary languages, and algebras.
