Let $G$ be a group acting freely, properly discontinuously and cellularly on a finite dimensional $C$W-complex $\Sigma(2n)$ which has the homotopy type of the $2n$- sphere $\mathbb{S}^{2n}$. Then, this action induces an action of the group…
A. Bak developed a combinatorial approach to higher $K$-theory, in which control is kept of the elementary operations involved, through paths and `paths of paths' in what he called a global action. The homotopy theory of these was developed…
We study the automorphism groups attached to a free algebra with multiple, possibly infinitely many, composition laws. As an application, we prove that the automorphism group of finitely generated vertex algebras over noetherian rings are…
This is the first paper in a series of three where we take on the unified theory of non-Archimedean group actions, length functions and infinite words. Our main goal is to show that group actions on Z^n-trees give one a powerful tool to…
It is shown that the big free group (the set of countably-long words over a countable alphabet) is almost free, in the sense that any function from the alphabet to a compact topological group factors through a homomorphism. This statement…
Let $F$ be a finitely generated free group. By using Bestvina-Handel theory, as well as some further improvements, the eigengroups of a given automorphism of $F$ (and its fixed subgroup among them) are globally analyzed and described. In…
In this paper we present a new characterization of free group actions (in classical differential geometry), involving dynamical systems and representations of the corresponding transformation groups. In fact, given a dynamical system, we…
We classify all connected $n$-dimensional complex manifolds admitting an effective action of the unitary group $U_n$ by biholomorphic transformations. One consequence of this classification is a characterization of ${\bf C}^n$ by its…
We examine the palindromic automorphism group $\Pi A(F_n)$ of a free group $F_n$, a group first defined by Collins which is related to hyperelliptic involutions of mapping class groups, congruence subgroups of $SL_n(\Z)$, and symmetric…
We introduce a notion of entropy for automorphisms of discrete groups which admit amenable actions on a compact space. This entropy is dual to classical topological entropy in the sense that if G is discrete and abelian then our notion of…
The Johnson filtration of the automorphism group of a free group is composed of those automorphisms which act trivially on nilpotent quotients of the free group. We compute cohomology classes as follows: (i) we analyze analogous classes for…
Given a type A in homotopy type theory (HoTT), we can define the free infinity-group on A as the loop space of the suspension of A+1. Equivalently, this free higher group can be defined as a higher inductive type F(A) with constructors unit…
Let $\mathsf P$ be an operad acted upon by a group $G$, and let $\mathsf Q=\mathsf P\rtimes G$ be the corresponding framed operad. We relate the homotopy automorphism groups of $\mathsf P$ and $\mathsf Q$. We apply the result to compute the…
We show that if $G$ is a non-archimedean, Roelcke precompact, Polish group, then $G$ has Kazhdan's property (T). Moreover, if $G$ has a smallest open subgroup of finite index, then $G$ has a finite Kazhdan set. Examples of such $G$ include…
We study automorphisms of the free associative algebra K<x,y,z> over a field K which fix the variable z. We describe the structure of the group of z-tame automorphisms and derive algorithms which recognize z-tame automorphisms and z-tame…
Certain subgroups of the groups $Aut(F_n)$ of automorphisms of a free group $F_n$ are considered. Comparing Alexander polynomials of two poly-free groups $Cb_4^+$ and $P_4$ we prove that these groups are not isomorphic, despite the fact…
We develop an explicit covering theory for complexes of groups, parallel to that developed for graphs of groups by Bass. Given a covering of developable complexes of groups, we construct the induced monomorphism of fundamental groups and…
We study the free complexification operation for compact quantum groups, $G\to G^c$. We prove that, with suitable definitions, this induces a one-to-one correspondence between free orthogonal quantum groups of infinite level, and free…
We describe, up to degree equal to the rank, the Lie algebra associated with the automorphism group of a free group. We compute in particular the ranks of its homogeneous components, and their structure as modules over the linear group.…
In this paper, the problem formulated in [8] is solved. We prove, that the group of automorphisms of the category of free associative algebras is generated by semi-inner and mirror automorphisms
