Unlikely intersections on the p-adic formal ball

We investigate generalizations along the lines of the Mordell-Lang conjecture of the author's p-adic formal Manin-Mumford results for n-dimensional p-divisible formal groups F. In particular, given a finitely generated subgroup (sic) of F(Q(p)) and a close ...

Approximating nonabelian free groups by groups of homeomorphisms of the real line

Yash Lodha

We show that for a large class C of finitely generated groups of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the real line, the following holds: Given a group G of rank k in C, there is a sequence of k-markings (G,S-n), n is an element of N whose limit in the ...

Extensive amenability and a Tits alternative for topological full groups

Nóra Gabriella Szoke

This dissertation investigates the amenability of topological full groups using a property of group actions called extensive amenability. Extensive amenability is a core concept of several amenability results for groups of dynamical origin. We study its pr ...

Group Approximation in Cayley Topology and Coarse Geometry, Part II: Fibred Coarse Embeddings

Masato Mimura

The objective of this series is to study metric geometric properties of disjoint unions of Cayley graphs of amenable groups by group properties of the Cayley accumulation points in the space of marked groups. In this Part II, we prove that a disjoint union ...

Endo-trivial modules: a reduction to p'-central extensions

Jacques Thévenaz, Caroline Lassueur

We examine how, in prime characteristic p, the group of endotrivial modules of a finite group G and the group of endotrivial modules of a quotient of G modulo a normal subgroup of order prime to p are related. There is always an inflation map, but examples ...

Small Spectral Radius And Percolation Constants On Non-Amenable Cayley Graphs

Motivated by the Benjamini-Schramm non-unicity of percolation conjecture we study the following question. For a given finitely generated nonamenable group Gamma, does there exist a generating set S such that the Cayley graph (Gamma, S), without loops and m ...

Counting conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups for fusion systems

Sejong Park

Thévenaz [6] made an interesting observation that the number of conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups in a finite group G is equal to the rank of the matrix of the numbers of double cosets in G. We give another proof of this fact and present a fusion syste ...

Torsion-free endotrivial modules

Jacques Thévenaz, Nadia Mazza

Let G be a finite group and let T(G) be the abelian group of equivalence classes of endotrivial kG-modules, where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We investigate the torsion-free part TF(G) of the group T(G) and look for generators o ...

Infinite Presentability Of Groups And Condensation

Luc Guyot

We describe various classes of infinitely presented groups that are condensation points in the space of marked groups. A well-known class of such groups consists of finitely generated groups admitting an infinite minimal presentation. We introduce here a l ...

Fixed Point Property For Universal Lattice On Schatten Classes

Masato Mimura

The special linear group G = SLn(Z[x(1), ... , x(k)]) (n at least 3 and k finite) is called the universal lattice. Let n be at least 4, and p be any real number in (1, infinity). The main result is the following: any finite index subgroup of G has the fixe ...
