Abstract

As generalizations of inverse semibraces introduced by Catino, Mazzotta and Stefanelli, Miccoli has introduced regular $\star$-semibraces under the name of involution semibraces and given a sufficient condition under which the associated map to a regular $\star$-semibrace is a set-theoretic solution of the Yang-Baxter equation. From the viewpoint of universal algebra, regular $\star$-semibraces are (2,2,1)-type algebras. In this paper we continue to study set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and regular $\star$-semibraces. We first consider several kinds of (2,2,1)-type algebras that induced by regular $\star$-semigroups and give some equivalent characterizations of the statement that they form regular $\star$-semibraces. Then we give sufficient and necessary conditions under which the associated maps to these (2,2,1)-type algebras are set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Finally, as analogues of weak braces defined by Catino, Mazzotta, Miccoli and Stefanelli, we introduce weak $\star$-braces in the class of regular $\star$-semibraces, describe their algebraic structures and prove that the associated maps to weak $\star$-braces are always set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. The result of the present paper shows that the class of completely regular, orthodox and locally inverse regular $\star$-semigroups is a source of possibly new set-theoretic solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. Our results establish the close connection between the Yang-Baxter equation and the classical structural theory of regular $\star$-semigroups.

On commensurators of free groups and free pro-p groups

We study the commensurators of free groups and free pro-$p$ groups, as well as certain subgroups of these. We prove that the commensurator $Comm(F)$ of a non-abelian free group of finite rank $F$ is not virtually simple, answering a question of Lubotzky. On the other hand, we exhibit a family of easy-to-define finitely generated subgroups of $Comm(F)$ and show that some groups in this family are simple. For a prime $p$, we also consider the p-commensurator $Comm_p(F)$, which is the commensurator of $F$ viewed as a group with pro-$p$ topology. By contrast with $Comm(F)$, we prove that $Comm_p(F)$ has a simple subgroup of index at most 2. Further, while the isomorphism class of $Comm(F)$ does not depend on the rank of $F$, we prove that the isomorphism class of $Comm_p(F)$ depends on the rank of $F$ and determine the exact dependency. If $\mathbf F$ is the pro-$p$ completion of $F$ (which is a free pro-$p$ group), $Comm(\mathbf F)$ is a totally disconnected locally compact (tdlc) group containing $\mathbf F$ as an open subgroup. We use $Comm_p(F)$ to construct an abstractly simple subgroup of $Comm(\mathbf F)$ containing $\mathbf F$ as well as a family of non-discrete tdlc groups which are compactly generated and simple.

Asymmetry of $\ell^{2}$-cohomology via skewed Følner geometry

We study the two $\ell^{2}$-Dirichlet structures on a countable group $G$ arising from the left and right regular actions on $\mathbb{R}^{G}$. Although the two regular representations are unitarily equivalent, their $\ell^{2}$-Dirichlet subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{G}$ need not coincide. Our main result gives a complete classification of this asymmetry for countable amenable groups: $$\mathcal{D}_{2}\left(G,λ\right)=\mathcal{D}_{2}\left(G,ρ\right)\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad G \text{ is an FC-group}.$$ The proof is based on a skewed Følner-geometric mechanism, called a left scheme, combining summability of left boundaries with displacement under a right translation. We develop this mechanism generally, and demonstrate it concretely in the Heisenberg group and amenable wreath products over $\mathbb{Z}$. We also show that this mechanism has a dynamical counterpart in the theory of nonsingular Bernoulli shifts: every countable amenable group that is not an FC-group admits Bernoulli schemes whose left shift is nonsingular, conservative and weakly mixing, whereas the right shift by some element is singular.

Analogues of Sylow's first theorem, Cauchy's theorem, and Hall's theorem for skew braces

We establish an unconditional analogue of Sylow's first theorem for finite skew braces, and deduce an analogue of Cauchy's theorem. We also prove an analogue of the existence part of Hall's theorem for finite skew braces with soluble additive and multiplicative groups. We make some observations regarding the number of Sylow subskew braces of a skew brace in various cases. By applying these results we streamline the classification of skew braces of order $ pq $, where $ p,q $ are distinct prime numbers.
