In the paper we study expansiveness along distinguished subsets in the case of a continuous action of the discrete Heisenberg group on a compact metric space $(\mathbb X,\rho)$. Transferring the ideas proposed by Boyle and Lind for…

Let $\H$ denote the discrete Heisenberg group, equipped with a word metric $d_W$ associated to some finite symmetric generating set. We show that if $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ is a $p$-convex Banach space then for any Lipschitz function $f:\H\to X$…

In recent work Cortez and Petite defined odometer actions of discrete, finitely generated and residually finite groups G. In this paper we focus on the case where G is the discrete Heisenberg group. We prove a structure theorem for finite…

We observe that upper densities and spherical Federer densities may differ on all two dimensional surfaces of the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group. This provides an entire class of intrinsic rectifiable sets having upper density strictly…

Motivated by examples in infinite group theory, we classify the finite groups whose subgroups can never be decomposed as direct products.

In this note we give more easy and short proof of a statement previously proved by P. Kahn that the automorphism group of the discrete Heisenberg group ${\rm Heis}(3, \mathbb{Z}) $ is isomorphic to the group $ (\mathbb{Z} \oplus \mathbb{Z})…

We give an expository account of our proof that each cusp-free hyperbolic 3-manifold M with finitely generated fundamental group and incompressible ends is an algebraic limit of geometrically finite hyperbolic 3-manifolds.

We consider the oriented graph whose vertices are isomorphism classes of finitely generated groups, with an edge from G to H if, for some generating set T in H and some sequence of generating sets S_i in G, the marked balls of radius i in…

We show that provided $n\ne 3$, the involutive Hopf *-algebra $A_u(n)$ coacting universally on an $n$-dimensional Hilbert space has enough finite-dimensional representations in the sense that every non-zero element acts non-trivially in…

We show that real semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank contain (infinitely generated) discrete subgroups with full limit sets in the corresponding Furstenberg boundaries. Additionally, we provide criteria under which discrete subgroups of…

Veech groups uniformize Teichm\"uller geodesic curves in Riemann moduli space. Recently, examples of infinitely generated Veech groups have been given. We show that these can even have infinitely many cusps and infinitely many infinite…

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…

We prove that every orientable infinite type surface without boundary and finite genus has a Riemann surface structure such that its modular group of quasiconformal homeomorphisms is countable.

In the paper we study finitely generated linear groups of finite rank which have faithful irreducible primitive representations over a field of characteristic zero. We prove that if an infinite finitely generated linear group $G$ of finite…

The complex algebra of an inverse semigroup with finitely many idempotents in each $\mathcal D$-class is stably finite by a result of Munn. This can be proved fairly easily using $C^*$-algebras for inverse semigroups satisfying this…

We construct the first examples of finitely presented groups with cubic Dehn function containing a finitely generated infinite torsion subgroup. Moreover, we show that any infinite free Burnside group with sufficiently large odd exponent…

The paper is devoted to the large scale geometry of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb H$ equipped with left-invariant Riemannian distances. We prove that two such distances have bounded difference if and only if they are asymptotic, i.e., their…

We give a simple proof of a result originally due to Dimca and Suciu: a group that is both Kaehler and the fundamental group of a closed three-manifold is finite. We also prove that a group that is both the fundamental group of a closed…

We prove that if every hyperbolic group is residually finite, then every quasi-convex subgroup of every hyperbolic group is separable. The main tool is relatively hyperbolic Dehn filling.

Infinitary operations, such as products indexed by countably infinite linear orders, arise naturally in the context of fundamental groups and groupoids. Despite the fact that the usual binary operation of the fundamental group determines…
