Abstract

We determine the Dehn functions of central products of two families of filiform nilpotent Lie groups of arbitrary dimension with all simply connected nilpotent Lie groups with cyclic centre and strictly lower nilpotency class. We also determine the Dehn functions of all central products of nilpotent Lie groups of dimension at most $5$ with one-dimensional centre. This confirms a conjecture of Llosa Isenrich, Pallier and Tessera for these cases, providing further evidence that the Dehn functions of central products are often strictly lower than those of the factors. Our work generalises previous results of Llosa Isenrich, Pallier and Tessera and produces an uncountable family of nilpotent Lie groups without lattices whose Dehn functions are strictly lower than the ones of the associated Carnot-graded groups. A consequence of our main result is the existence of an infinite family of groups such that Cornulier's bounds on the $e$ for which there is an $O(r^e)$-bilipschitz equivalence between them and their Carnot-graded groups are asymptotically optimal, as the nilpotency class goes to infinity.

Hyperfiniteness of boundary actions via tree decompositions

We study conditions for a countable group acting on a connected locally finite hyperbolic graph to induce a hyperfinite orbit equivalence relation on the Gromov boundary of the graph in terms of tree-decompositions of the graph. We prove that for a connected locally finite hyperbolic graph $X$ equipped with an action of a countable group $G$, if $(T, β)$ is a $G$-invariant tree-decomposition of $X$ such that each bag induces a connected subgraph $X_t$ of $X$ for each $t \in V(T)$, each adhesion set is finite and such that there are only finitely many $G$-orbits of edges of $T$, then the orbit equivalence relation of $G$ acting on the Gromov boundary $\partial X$ is hyperfinite provided the orbit equivalence relation of $G$ acting on $\partial T$ is hyperfinite and the orbit equivalence relations of the bag stabilizers acting on $\partial X_t$ are all hyperfinite. We show that the converse also holds if $(T, β)$ satisfies the additional property that each adhesion set distinguishes at least two ends of $X$.

Compatible additions on a six-element commutative semigroup: equational bases and subvariety lattices

Let $M$ be the six-element commutative semigroup occurring as the common multiplicative reduct of the semirings $SR_6$ and $TR_6$. The closing paragraph of Shao, Ren, and Gao~\cite{ShaoRenGao2026} asks for the finite-basis and subvariety questions for the four remaining compatible additions on $M$. We answer these questions for the four isomorphism types $R_{01},R_{02},R_{11},R_{12}$. First, we classify all compatible additions on $M$: there are nine labelled additions and six isomorphism types, parametrized by $R_{ij}$ with $0\leq i\leq j\leq 2$. For each of the four new types we give a graph-theoretic criterion for every identity, an explicit infinite basis, and a proof of nonfinite basability. The generated varieties $\V(R_{01})$ and $\V(R_{02})$ have eleven subvarieties each, while $\V(R_{11})$ has sixty-six. The lattice $\Sub(\V(R_{12}))$ is countably infinite. Every identity in this variety reduces to a subset of twenty-five fixed identities together with two monotone path families $γ_n$ and $\gammaD_n$. This yields a canonical signature $(H,p,q)$, complete normal forms, explicit meet and join operations, and a formula for all covers. There are 153 fixed nodes, 43 one-parameter families, and 9 two-parameter families; exactly eighteen subvarieties are finitely based, and the unique limit subvariety is $\V(SR_6)$. The strong nonfinite-basis status of the four finite semirings remains open.
