Abstract

We consider $Σ$-invariants of Artin groups that satisfy the $K(π,1)$-conjecture. These invariants determine the cohomological finiteness conditions of subgroups that contain the derived subgroup. We extend a known result for even Artin groups of FC-type, giving a sufficient condition for a character $χ:A_Γ\to\mathbb{R}$ to belong to $Σ^n(A_Γ,\mathbb{Z})$. We also prove some partial converses. As applications, we prove that the $Σ^1$-conjecture holds true when there is a prime $p$ that divides $l(e)/2$ for any edge with even label $l(e)>2$, we generalize to Artin groups the homological version of Bestvina-Brady theorem and we compute the $Σ$-invariants of all irreducible spherical and affine Artin groups and triangle Artin groups, which provide a complete classification of the $F_n$ and $FP_n$ properties of their derived subgroup.

Finiteness conditions on skew braces and solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation

A finite non-degenerate set-theoretic solution $(X,r)$ of the Yang-Baxter equation gives rise to a structure skew brace $B(X,r)$ that is a $λ_f$-skew brace, i.e. every element has finitely many $λ$-images, and whose additive group is $FC$. This motivates the study of finiteness conditions on skew braces. We first study the general class of $λ_f$ skew braces and the subclass where the additive group is $FC$, showing that these properties share a resemblance to finite conjugacy, having an analog of the $FC$-center and several analogous structural results. Furthermore, by passing through the structure skew brace of a solution, this property measures whether elements are contained in a finite decomposition factor, identifying a class of infinite solutions that may exhibit similar properties to finite ones. Finally, we show that for a sub skew brace where both groups have finite index, both indices need to coincide and that such a sub skew brace contains a strong left ideal of finite index.

Non-uniform exponential growth and the decay of growth rates in growing dimensions

We provide the first example of a finitely presented, and the first example of a simple, group of non-uniform exponential growth. The example is given by Thompson's group $V$. Our methods also show that the infimal exponential growth rates of $\mathrm{Aut}(F_{2^{n+2}})$ and of $\mathrm{EL}_{2^{n+2}}(R)$, for every finitely generated ring $R$, tend to $1$. As an application, we obtain the first example of an acylindrically hyperbolic group, and the first example of a Kazhdan group, of non-uniform exponential growth.

Solvable Supplements to Normalizers of Cyclic 2-Subgroups

Amberg and Kazarin proved that a finite group is solvable if the normalizer of every cyclic subgroup of prime power order has a solvable supplement. We substantially relax this hypothesis by requiring it only for cyclic $2$-subgroups. This condition, denoted by $\mathrm{SSN}_2$, sharply restricts the nonabelian composition factors of the group to the family $\PSL_2(q)$, where $q\geq7$ is a prime power satisfying $q\equiv3\pmod4$. Conversely, this family is precisely the nonabelian finite simple groups that satisfy $\mathrm{SSN}_2$. Consequently, a finite group satisfying $\mathrm{SSN}_2$ is solvable if and only if it has no section isomorphic to one of these groups.
