Latin quandles of size $16p$

Abstract

In this paper we obtain the classification of latin quandles of size $16p$ where $p$ is an odd prime. In particular we have that such quandles are always subdirectly reducible but in some cases for small primes. Specifically, we have that latin quandles of size $16p$ are affine if $p\neq 1 \pmod{3}$ or $p\neq 3,5$. If $p=1\pmod 3$ there are $2$ subdirectly reducible non directly decomposable latin quandles of size $16p$ for every prime with $p=1\pmod{3}$ and there are one subdirectly irreducible latin quandle of size $16p$ for $p=3,5$. We provide explicit constructions as coset quandles for all the quandles mentioned above.

Subindices and subfactors of $\mathbb{Z}_n$ and $k$-index stability of finite groups

We study subindices, subfactors, and index stability in the cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_n$. We prove several theorems that not only confirm a conjecture and resolve some open problems about index stability of such groups, but also provide basic tools for the characterization of finite $k$-index stable groups. As a consequence, we completely characterize all 2-element index stable subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_n$, obtain an exact closed formula for their density, and determine all $n$ for which every 2-subset is index unstable. Finally, we present some problems and a research project extending the study to 3-subsets and general $k$-subsets.

Virtually generating graphs of pro-$p$ groups

We study the virtually generating graph of pro-$p$ groups. We show that various classes of pro-$p$ groups have connected virtually generating graph and we bound its diameter in these cases; e.g.\ compact subgroups of analytic groups over local fields and the Nottingham group.

Surface subgroups of Baumslag doubles along short words

If $U$ is a minimal, diskbusting, finite list of words in a free group $F_n$ of rank $n$ such that the sum of the lengths of words in $U$ is at most $2n+4$, we prove that the natural presentation complex of the Baumslag double of $F_n$ along $U$ virtually contains a $π_1$-injective embedded closed hyperbolic surface. This verifies the Tiling Conjecture of Kim and Wilton for this type of lists of words, and in particular, implies that the corresponding Baumslag double contains a hyperbolic surface subgroup.
