Let $\Lambda_0$ be an ordered abelian group. We show how an $\mathrm{ATF}(\mathbb{Z}\times\Lambda_0)$ group -- that is, a group admitting a free affine action without inversions on a $\mathbb{Z}\times\Lambda_0$-tree -- admits a natural…

We prove structure theorems for the moduli stack of elliptic curves equipped with $G$-structures, where $G$ is a finite 2-generated metabelian group. In particular, we show that if $G$ has exponent $e$, then there is a subgroup $H\le…

Let $F$ be a finite-rank free group and let $\Phi\in\mathrm{Out}(F)$ have polynomial growth. Let $G=F\rtimes_\Phi\mathbb{Z}$. We give sufficient conditions on $\Phi$ that ensure $G$ acts freely on a CAT(0) cube complex. For $d=1$, the class…

This is the fourth and last in a series of four papers (with research announcement posted on this arXiv) that develop a decomposition theory for subgroups of $\text{Out}(F_n)$. In this paper we develop general ping-pong techniques for the…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits an automorphism $\varphi $ of order $2^n$ such that the fixed-point subgroup $C_G(\varphi ^{2^{n-1}})$ of the involution $\varphi ^{2^{n-1}}$ is nilpotent of class $c$. Let $m=|C_G(\varphi)|$ be the…

We prove that residually finite mapping tori of polynomially growing automorphisms of hyperbolic groups, groups hyperbolic relative to finitely many virtually polycyclic groups, right-angled Artin groups (when the automorphism is…

We prove that, to every abstract group $G$, we can associate a sequence of graphs $\Gamma_n$ such that the automorphism group of $\Gamma_n$ is isomorphic to $G$ and the genus of $\Gamma_n$ is an unbounded function of $n$.

An element $g$ of a group $G$ is a test element if every endomorphism of $G$ that fixes $g$ is an automorphism. Let $G$ be a free group of finite rank, an orientable surface group of genus $n \geq 2$, or a non-orientable surface group of…

The aim of this chapter is to provide an adequate graph theoretic framework for the description of periodic bifurcations which have recently been discovered in descendant trees of finite p-groups. The graph theoretic concepts of rooted…

In his paper, Thurston shows that a positive real number $h$ is the topological entropy for an ergodic traintrack representative of an outer automorphism of a free group if and only if its expansion constant $\lambda = e^h$ is a weak Perron…

We show that the topological full group of a Hausdorff ample groupoid with compact unit space coincides with the group of homotopy classes of invertible isometries in pseudofunction algebras associated with the groupoid. Moreover, if the…

For any tracial non-commutative probability space $(\mathcal{A}, \varphi)$, C\'{e}bron, Dahlqvist, and Male showed that one can always construct an enveloping traffic space $(\mathcal{G}(\mathcal{A}), \tau_\varphi)$ that extends the trace.…

We study so called weakly-periodic twisted-multiplicative automorphisms of the free skew-field. In particular, we show that any automorphism of a free skew-field that is defined by a periodic automorphism of a free group is equivalent to a…

We study classes of countable graphs where every member does not contain a given finite graph as an induced subgraph -- denoted by $\mathsf{Free}(\mathcal{G})$ for a given finite graph $\mathcal{G}$. Our main results establish a structural…

We prove that with high probability $G(n,p)$ with $p \geq n^{-4/11 + o(1)}$ admits a fractional triangle decomposition (FTD), i.e., a nonnegative weighting of its triangles such that for each edge, the total weight of the triangles…

The $F$-theorem states that in three dimensions the sphere free energy of a field theory must decrease between ultraviolet and infrared fixed points of the renormalization group flow, and it has been proven for unitary conformal field…

To any automorphism, $\alpha$, of a totally disconnected, locally compact group, $G$, there is associated a compact, $\alpha$-stable subgroup of $G$, here called the \emph{nub} of $\alpha$, on which the action of $\alpha$ is topologically…

We study the topological full group of ample groupoids over locally compact spaces. We extend Matui's definition of the topological full group from the compact, to the locally compact case. We provide two general classes of groupoids for…

In this note we point out a mistake in theorem 4.4 of [Sam06], which states that a semidirect product $F_3\rtimes_\phi\mathbb{Z}$ whose defining automorphism $\phi$ is unipotent-polynomially-growing and fixes a free factor of rank $2$ is a…

Let $f(x)$ be a non-zero polynomial with integer coefficients. An automorphism $\varphi$ of a group $G$ is said to satisfy the elementary abelian identity $f(x)$ if the linear transformation induced by $\varphi$ on every characteristic…
