The article studies groups generated by products and wreath products, focusing on first Betti numbers of Morse function orbits.

Study mixed commutator lengths in wreath products and their relation to general ranks.

We present generating functions for extensions of multiplicative invariants of wreath symmetric products of orbifolds presented as the quotient by the locally free action of a compact, connected Lie group in terms of orbifold sector decompositions. Particularly interesting instances of these product formulas occur for …

New findings on group actions and stabilizers of infinite sets.

Study of semi-principal bundles using group actions and wreath products.

In this paper, it is shown that the reduced $\ell^p$-cohomology is trivial for a class of finitely generated amenable groups called transport amenable. These groups are those for which there exist a sequence of measures $ξ_n$ converging to a left-invariant mean and such that the transport cost between $ξ_n$ displaced b…

Study lampshuffler groups' isoperimetric profiles, refining previous estimates.

Consider the wreath product $H\wr G$, where $H\ne 1$ is finite and $G$ is finitely generated. We show that the Assouad-Nagata dimension $\dim_{AN}(H\wr G)$ of $H\wr G$ depends on the growth of $G$ as follows: If the growth of $G$ is not bounded by a linear function, then $\dim_{AN}(H\wr G)=\infty$, otherwise $\dim_{AN}…

Study of permutational wreath pullbacks and their properties.

The Farrell-Jones Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for the stable topological pseudoisotopy theory has been proved for several classes of groups. For example for discrete subgroups of Lie groups, virtually poly-infinite cyclic groups, Artin braid groups, a class of virtually poly-surface groups and virtually solvable lin…

We introduce the $Γ$-Euler-Satake characteristics of a general orbifold $Q$ presented by an orbifold groupoid $\mathcal{G}$, generalizing to orbifolds that are not necessarily global quotients the generalized orbifold Euler characteristics of Bryan-Fulman and Tamanoi. Each of these Euler characteristics is defined as t…

Introduces halo products and studies their geometric properties.

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…

Study the geometry of graph product extension graphs.

Classifies quasi-isometry types of lamplighter groups over one-ended groups.

We consider the problem of modelling noisy but highly symmetric shapes that can be viewed as hierarchies of whole-part relationships in which higher level objects are composed of transformed collections of lower level objects. To this end, we propose the stochastic wreath process, a fully generative probabilistic model…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two groups acting on path connected topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Assume that $H$ is finite of order $m$ and the quotient maps $p:X\to X/G$ and $q:Y\to Y/H$ are regular coverings. Then it is well-known that the wreath product $G\wr H$ naturally acts on $W = X^m\times Y$, so that the qu…

We use wreath products to provide criteria for a group to be conjugacy separable or omnipotent. These criteria are in terms of virtual retractions onto cyclic subgroups. We give two applications: a straightforward topological proof of the theorem of Stebe that infinite-order elements of Fuchsian groups (of the first ty…

We study the Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture of Farrell and Jones in L-theory for groups acting on trees. In several cases we prove the conjecture. This includes wreath products of abelian groups and free metabelian groups. We also deduce the conjecture in pseudoisotopy theory for these groups. Finally in B of Theorem 1…

We study the structure group of a canonical algebraic curvature tensor built from a symmetric bilinear form, and show that in most cases it coincides with the isometry group of the symmetric form from which it is built. Our main result is that the structure group of the direct sum of such canonical algebraic curvature …

Let G be a finite group and let M be a G-manifold. We introduce the concept of generalized orbifold invariants of M/G associated to an arbitrary group Gamma, an arbitrary Gamma-set, and an arbitrary covering space of a connected manifold Sigma whose fundamental group is Gamma. Our orbifold invariants have a natural and…

The article has been withdrawn by the author. Wolfgang Lueck and Peter Linnell pointed out that the proof of Lemma 3.8 does not apply to the unrestricted case of wreath product. It is not clear at this stage how to complete the proof of Theorem 3.1 using the present version of Lemma 3.8. The valid results originating f…

We give first examples of finitely generated groups having an intermediate, with values in (0,1), Hilbert space compression (which is a numerical parameter measuring the distortion required to embed a metric space into Hilbert space). These groups include certain diagram groups. In particular, we show that the Hilbert …

In this paper we apply the theory of finitely generated FI-modules developed by Church, Ellenberg and Farb to certain sequences of rational cohomology groups. Our main examples are the cohomology of the moduli space of n-pointed curves, the cohomology of the pure mapping class group of surfaces and some manifolds of hi…

We use elementary methods to compute the L2-dimension of the eigenspaces of the Markov operator on the lamplighter group and of generalizations of this operator on other groups. In particular, we give a transparent explanation of the spectral measure of the Markov operator on the lamplighter group found by Grigorchuk-Z…

Representation stability is a theory describing a way in which a sequence of representations of different groups is related, and essentially contains a finite amount of information. Starting with Church-Ellenberg-Farb's theory of $FI$-modules describing sequences of representations of the symmetric groups, we now have …

New method for deep learning hierarchies like sequences and graphs.

New subgroups of mapping class groups constructed for infinite-type surfaces.

Let $M$ be a connected orientable compact surface, $f:M\to\mathbb{R}$ be a Morse function, and $\mathcal{D}_{\mathrm{id}}(M)$ be the group of difeomorphisms of $M$ isotopic to the identity. Denote by $\mathcal{S}'(f)=\{f\circ h = f\mid h\in\mathcal{D}_{\mathrm{id}}(M)\}$ the subgroup of $\mathcal{D}_{\mathrm{id}}(M)$ c…

In this article we define the twisted product of groups as the generalization of the semidirect product of groups. We will find the necessary and sufficient condition in order that the twisted product of groups to be a group. In particular, for two copies of the same group, the twisted product of group by itself throug…

In various classes of infinite groups, we identify groups that are presentable by products, i.e. groups having finite index subgroups which are quotients of products of two commuting infinite subgroups. The classes we discuss here include groups of small virtual cohomological dimension and irreducible Zariski dense sub…

Study geometric actions of groups on horocyclic products.

In this paper we study obstructions to presentability by products for finitely generated groups. Along the way we develop both the concept of acentral subgroups, and the relations between presentability by products on the one hand, and certain geometric and measure or orbit equivalence invariants of groups on the other…

Study on embedding tree products into groups, distinguishing them.

Solves the Wiegold problem by showing free products of left-orderable groups have normal rank > 1.

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

We study smooth complex hypersurfaces in direct products of closed hyperbolic Riemann surfaces and give a classification in terms of their fundamental groups. This answers a question of Delzant and Gromov on subvarieties of products of Riemann surfaces in the smooth codimension one case. We also answer Delzant and Grom…

Algorithm detects free products in disk mapping class groups.

The paper studies graph products of groups and recovers graph and vertex groups under certain conditions.

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…

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…

Study surfaces with free product fundamental groups, proving existence and properties.

Uniform criterion for vanishing products in bounded cohomology.

Generalizes Klein-Maskit theorem to free products of Anosov subgroups.

Suppose a group $G$ is quasi-isometric to a free product of a finite set $S$ of finitely generated abelian groups; let $S'$ denote the set of ranks of the free abelian parts of the groups in $S$. Then $G$ is commensurable with the free product of $\Z$ with a $\Z^n$ for each $n$ occurring in $S'$.

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

We give estimates on asymptotic dimensions of products of general hyperbolic spaces with following applications to the hyperbolic groups. We give examples of strict inequality in the product theorem for the asymptotic dimension in the class of the hyperbolic groups; and examples of strict inequality in the product theo…
