In the paper we study irreducible representations of some nilpotent groups of finite abelian total rank. The main result of the paper states that if a torsion-free minimax group $G$ of nilpotency class 2 admits a faithful irreducible…

Let $A, B$ be finite subsets of a torsion-free group $G$. We prove that for every positive integer $k$ there is a $c(k)$ such that if $|B|\ge c(k)$ then the inequality $|AB|\ge |A|+|B|+k$ holds unless a left translate of $A$ is contained in…

We use language theory to study the rational subset problem for groups and monoids. We show that the decidability of this problem is preserved under graph of groups constructions with finite edge groups. In particular, it passes through…

Baker and Riley proved that a free group of rank 3 can be contained in a hyperbolic group as a subgroup for which the Cannon-Thurston map is not well-defined. By using their result, we show that the phenomenon occurs for not only a free…

We study algebraic closure and its relation with definable closure in free groups and more generally in torsion-free hyperbolic groups. Given a torsion-free hyperbolic group G and a nonabelian subgroup A of G, we describe G as a…

We develop methods to control the first-order theory of groups arising as certain direct limits of torsion-free hyperbolic groups, answering several questions in the literature. We construct simple torsion-free Tarski monsters $\Gamma$…

We show that a minimal counter example to the Cherlin-Zilber Algebraicity Conjecture for simple groups of finite Morley rank has normal 2-rank at most two, which is a tameness free version of Borovik's original trichotomy theorem. This…

Let $A$ be a finite rank torsion--free abelian group. Then there exist direct decompositions $A=B\oplus C$ where $B$ is completely decomposable and $C$ has no rank 1 direct summand. In such a decomposition $B$ is unique up to isomorphism…

We revisit the problem of deciding whether a finitely generated subgroup H is a free factor of a given free group F. Known algorithms solve this problem in time polynomial in the sum of the lengths of the generators of H and exponential in…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$ defined by a monic irreducible cubic polynomial $F(x)$. When $E$ is \textit{nice} at all finite primes of $K$, we bound its $2$-Selmer rank in terms of the $2$-rank of a modified ideal…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ denote the class of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups. For a group $G$ let $F(G)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of finite quotients of $G$. Pickel proved that if $G \in \mathcal{T}$, then the set…

Given a row-finite $k$-graph $\Lambda$ with no sources we investigate the $K$-theory of the higher rank graph $C^*$-algebra, $C^*(\Lambda)$. When $k=2$ we are able to give explicit formulae to calculate the $K$-groups of $C^*(\Lambda)$. The…

Given a group $G$ with bounded torsion that acts properly on a systolic complex, we show that every solvable subgroup of $G$ is finitely generated and virtually abelian of rank at most $2$. In particular this gives a new proof of the above…

We prove that if a countable group is elementarily equivalent to a non-abelian free group and all of its abelian subgroups are cyclic, then the group is a union of a chain of regular NTQ groups (i.e., hyperbolic towers).

In this paper we give a complete algebraic description of groups elementarily equivalent to a given free nilpotent group of finite rank.

This arXived paper has two independant parts, that are improved and corrected versions of different parts of a single paper once named "On equations in relatively hyperbolic groups". The first part is entitled "Existential questions in…

We construct an extension $E(A,G)$ of a given group $G$ by infinite non-Archimedean words over an discretely ordered abelian group like $Z^n$. This yields an effective and uniform method to study various groups that "behave like $G$". We…

We prove that the first order theory of nonabelian free groups eliminates the "there exists infinitely many" quantifier (in eq). Equivalently, since the theory of nonabelian free groups is stable, it does not have the finite cover property.…

We give an algorithm for solving equations and inequations with rational constraints in virtually free groups. Our algorithm is based on Rips classification of measured band complexes. Using canonical representatives, we deduce an algorithm…

In this work we investigate tensor completions of groups by associative rings, which were introduced by R.Lyndon and G.Baumslag in 1960s. The main result states that there exists an algorithm that decides if a given finite system of…
