We introduce the notion of graphical discreteness to group theory. A finitely generated group is graphically discrete if whenever it acts geometrically on a locally finite graph, the automorphism group of the graph is compact-by-discrete.…

In this paper we study (logical) types and isotypical equivalence of torsion free Abelian groups. We describe all possible types of elements and standard 2-tuples of elements in these groups and classify separable torsion free Abelian…

In this paper we consider some classical varieties of linear algebras over the field which has characteristic 0. For every considered variety we take a category of the finite generated free algebras of this variety. And for every this…

We define an integer-valued invariant of special cube complexes called the genus, and prove that having genus one characterizes special cube complexes with abelian fundamental group. Using the genus, we obtain a new proof that the…

We prove that an HNN extension of a torsion-free nilpotent group is left-orderable. We also construct examples of non-left-orderable HNN extensions of left-orderable groups

Let G be a torsion--free abelian group of finite rank. The automorphism group Aut(G) acts on the set of maximal independent subsets of G. The orbits of this action are the isomorphism classes of indecomposable decompositions of G. G…

We construct quasiisometries of nilpotent Lie groups. In particular, for any simply connected nilpotent Lie group N, we construct quasiisometries from N to itself that is not at finite distance from any map that is a composition of left…

We begin a study of a pro-$p$ analogue of limit groups via extensions of centralizers and call $\mathcal{L}$ this new class of pro-$p$ groups. We show that the pro-$p$ groups of $\mathcal{L}$ have finite cohomological dimension, type…

We compute the rational stable homology of the automorphism groups of free nilpotent groups. These groups interpolate between the general linear groups over the ring of integers and the automorphism groups of free groups, and we employ…

We compute the characteristic varieties and the Alexander polynomial of a finitely generated nilpotent group. We show that the first characteristic variety may be used to detect nilpotence. We use the Alexander polynomial to deduce that the…

We construct large families of characteristically nilpotent Lie algebras by considering deformations of the Lie algebra g_{m,m-1}^{4} of type Q_{n},and which arises as a central extension fo the filiform Lie algebra L_{n}. By studying the…

We obtain an explicit description of the endomorphisms of free-abelian by free groups together with a characterization of when they are injective and surjective. As a consequence we see that free-abelian by free groups are Hopfian and not…

The isomorphism and quasi-isomorphism relations on the $p$-local torsion-free abelian groups of rank $n\geq3$ are incomparable with respect to Borel reducibility.

We construct an uncountable sequence of groups acting uniformly properly on hyperbolic spaces. We show that only countably many of these groups can be virtually torsion-free. This gives new examples of groups acting uniformly properly on…

In this article we study automorphisms of Toeplitz subshifts. Such groups are abelian and any finitely generated torsion subgroup is finite and cyclic. When the complexity is non superlinear, we prove that the automorphism group is, modulo…

We study the algebraic structure of the automorphism group of a general right-angled Artin group. We show that this group is virtually torsion-free and has finite virtual cohomological dimension. This generalizes results proved by the…

In the present paper, we determine the group of automorphisms of pseudo $H$-type Lie algebras, which are two-step nilpotent Lie algebras closely related to the Clifford algebras $\Cl(\mathbb R^{r,s})$.

We show how locally smooth actions of compact Lie groups on a manifold $X$ can be used to obtain new upper bounds for the topological complexity $\TC(X)$, in the sense of Farber. We also obtain new bounds for the topological complexity of…

We investigate the general structure of the automorphism group and the Lie algebra of derivations of a finitely generated vertex operator algebra. The automorphism group is isomorphic to an algebraic group. Under natural assumptions, the…

A survey article that presents some recent algebraic and model-theoretic results on the automorphism groups of relatively free groups of infinite rank. The topics include topological aspects, generating sets, descripition of automorpisms…
