Research preserves coarse property C and related dimensions through direct products.

Direct product cohomological dimension equals twice the group's dimension.

New complexity notion connects finite decomposition and asymptotic property C.

We present a construction that produces infinite classes of Kähler groups that arise as fundamental groups of fibres of maps to higher dimensional tori. Following the work of Delzant and Gromov, there is great interest in knowing which subgroups of direct products of surface groups are Kähler. We apply our construction…

Researchers find a way to bound the complexity of certain subgroup geometric invariants.

If S is a subgroup of a direct product of two limit groups, and S is of type FP(2) over the rationals, then S has a subgroup of finite index that is a direct product of at most two limit groups.

Study on profinite rigidity of direct products of free and surface groups.

We prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for (non-connective) $A$-theory with coefficients and finite wreath products for hyperbolic groups, CAT(0)-groups, cocompact lattices in almost connected Lie groups and fundamental groups of manifolds of dimension less or equal to three. Moreover, we prove inheritance properties su…

We prove that the n th pure braid group of a nonorientable surface (closed or with boundary, but different from RP2) is residually 2-finite. Consequently, this group is residually nilpotent. The key ingredient in the closed case is the notion of p-almost direct product, which is a generalization of the notion of almost…

We establish a cubic lower bound on the Dehn function of a certain finitely presented subgroup of a direct product of 3 free groups.

In this paper we prove trace formulae for the Reidemeister number of a group endomorphism. This result implies the rationality of the Reidemeister zeta function in the following cases: the group is a direct product of a finite group and a finitely generated Abelian group; the group is finitely generated, nilpotent and …

An almost-direct product of free groups is an iterated semidirect product of finitely generated free groups in which the action of the constituent free groups on the homology of one another is trivial. We determine the structure of the cohomology ring of such a group. This is used to analyze the topological complexity …

If $G_1,...,G_n$ are limit groups and $S\subset G_1\times...\times G_n$ is of type $\FP_n(\mathbb Q)$ then $S$ contains a subgroup of finite index that is itself a direct product of at most $n$ limit groups. This settles a question of Sela.

The paper uses permutation representations to visualize group extensions and subgroups.

The author connects Poincaré embeddings to Reidemeister traces and diagonal maps.

We exploit Zlil Sela's description of the structure of groups having the same elementary theory as free groups: they and their finitely generated subgroups form a prescribed subclass E of the hyperbolic limit groups. We prove that if $G_1,...,G_n$ are in E then a subgroup $Γ\subset G_1\times...\times G_n$ is of type $\…

Precise computations of Dehn functions for subgroups of free group products.

In this paper, we investigate finitely generated groups of isometries of CAT(0) spaces containing some central hyperbolic isometry, and study CAT(0) groups. We show that every CAT(0) group $Γ$ has the semi-direct product structure $Γ=(\cdots(((Γ'\rtimes\langleδ_{n}\rangle)\rtimes\langleδ_{n-1}\rangle)\rtimes\langleδ_{n…

Many 2D Artin groups are residually finite.

According to Thurston's stability theorem, every group of C^1 diffeomorphisms of the closed interval is locally indicable (.e., every finitely generated subgroup factors through Z). We show that, even for finitely generated groups, the converse of this statement is not true. More precisely, we show that the semi-direct…

A graph product kernel means the kernel of the natural surjection from a graph product to the corresponding direct product. We prove that a graph product kernel of countable groups is special, and a graph product of finite or cyclic groups is virtually cocompact special in the sense of Haglund and Wise. The proof of th…

Flawed groups are shown to include all finitely generated groups isomorphic to free products of nilpotent groups.

Using the canonical JSJ splitting, we describe the outer automorphism group $\Out(G)$ of a one-ended word hyperbolic group $G$. In particular, we discuss to what extent $\Out(G)$ is virtually a direct product of mapping class groups and a free abelian group, and we determine for which groups $\Out(G)$ is infinite. We a…

We consider semi-direct products $\C^{n}\ltimes_φN$ of Lie groups with lattices $Γ$ such that $N$ are nilpotent Lie groups with left-invariant complex structures. We compute the Dolbeault cohomology of direct sums of holomorphic line bundles over $G/Γ$ by using the Dolbeaut cohomology of the Lie algebras of the direct …

The study shows that certain groups can be uniquely identified by their finite abelian summands.

Asymptotic property C was introduced by Dranishnikov to study spaces with infinite asymptotic dimension. We show that asymptotic property C is preserved by infinite products. We also show that countable restricted direct products of countable groups with finite asymptotic dimension have asymptotic property C. Then we i…

Study on virtual knot groups and their lower central series properties.

We prove the equivalence between a relative bottleneck property and being quasi-isometric to a tree-graded space. As a consequence, we deduce that the quasi-trees of spaces defined axiomatically by Bestvina-Bromberg-Fujiwara are quasi-isometric to tree-graded spaces. Using this we prove that mapping class groups quasi-…

It is known that the only finite-dimensional diffeological vector space that admits a diffeologically smooth scalar product is the standard space of appropriate dimension. In this note we consider a way to circumnavigate this issue, by introducing a notion of pseudo-metric, which, said informally, is the least-degenera…

We prove that a Kähler group which is cubulable, i.e. which acts properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a CAT(0) cubical complex, has a finite index subgroup isomorphic to a direct product of surface groups, possibly with a free Abelian factor. Similarly, we prove that a closed aspherical Kähler manifold with a cu…

We establish orbit equivalence rigidity for any ergodic, essentially free and measure-preserving action on a standard Borel space with a finite positive measure of the mapping class group for a compact orientable surface with higher complexity. We prove similar rigidity results for a finite direct product of mapping cl…

Defines complex manifolds on commutative Banach algebras and studies continuous families of compact complex manifolds.

I construct an algebraic model for a typical fiber on a 1+1 dimensional spacetime. The vector space comprising the fiber is composed of elements formed from the direct product of two copies of an element x in the D2=C2xC2 finite group algebra over the real numbers. The fiber contains subspaces whose elements are associ…

The study examines how automorphism growth rates of a group can be deduced from its simpler decompositions.

The paper studies groups with proper actions on finite products of hyperbolic spaces.

Researchers create non-homogeneous finite-volume ends on quaternionic Kähler manifolds.

Generalizations in many directions of the contraction procedure for Lie algebras introduced by E.J.Saletan are proposed. Products of arbitrary nature, not necessarily Lie brackets, are considered on sections of finite-dimensional vector bundles. Saletan contractions of such infinite-dimensional algebras are obtained vi…

Metric spaces uniquely split into Hilbert and non-line-split parts.

New insights into mapping class groups' cohomology.

New conditions for circular orderability of direct products, linking to left-orderability of groups.

We show that the mapping class group of a compact orientable surface with higher complexity has the following extreme rigidity in the sense of measure equivalence: if the mapping class group is measure equivalent to a discrete group, then they are commensurable up to finite kernel. Moreover, we describe all lattice emb…

We establish the proportionality principle between the Riemannian volume and locally finite simplicial volume for Q-rank 1 locally symmetric spaces covered by products of hyperbolic spaces, giving the first examples for manifolds whose cusp groups are not necessarily amenable. Also, we give a simple direct proof of the…

We show that Dranishnikov's asymptotic property C is preserved by direct products and the free product of discrete metric spaces. In particular, if $G$ and $H$ are groups with asymptotic property C, then both $G \times H$ and $G * H$ have asymptotic property C. We also prove that a group~$G$ has asymptotic property C i…
