The Automorphism Group of the Free Algebra of Rank Two
The theorem of Czerniakiewicz and Makar-Limanov, that all the automorphisms of a free algebra of rank two are tame is proved here by showing that the group of these automorphisms is the free product of two groups (amalgamating their intersection), the group of all affine automorphisms and the group of all triangular automorphisms. The method consists in finding a bipolar structure. As a consequence every finite subgroup of automorphisms (in characteristic zero) is shown to be conjugate to a group...
The Banach-Tarski paradox for the hyperbolic plane (II)
The second author found a gap in the proof of the main theorem in [J. Mycielski, Fund. Math. 132 (1989), 143-149]. Here we fill that gap and add some remarks about the geometry of the hyperbolic plane ℍ².

Stallings' theorem, results about accessibility and bounds for splittability. Duality groups and pairs; results of Eckmann and collaborators on PD2 groups. Relative ends, the JSJ theorems and the splitting results of Kropholler and Roller on PDn groups. Notions of quasi-isometry,...

The isomorphism problem for toral relatively hyperbolic groups
We provide a solution to the isomorphism problem for torsion-free relatively hyperbolic groups with abelian parabolics. As special cases we recover solutions to the isomorphism problem for: (i) torsion-free hyperbolic groups (Sela, [60] and unpublished); and (ii) finitely generated fully residually free groups (Bumagin, Kharlampovich and Miasnikov [14]). We also give a solution to the homeomorphism problem for finite volume hyperbolic -manifolds, for . In the course of the proof of the main result,...
The Residual Finiteness of Certain Amalgameted Free Products.
The Ribes-Zalesskii property of some one relator groups
The profinite topology on any abstract group , is one such that the fundamental system of neighborhoods of the identity is given by all its subgroups of finite index. We say that a group has the Ribes-Zalesskii property of rank , or is RZ with a natural number, if any product of finitely generated subgroups is closed in the profinite topology on . And a group is said to have the Ribes-Zalesskii property or is RZ if it is RZ for any natural number . In this paper we characterize groups...

Théorème de Kurosh pour les relations d’équivalence boréliennes
En théorie des groupes, le théorème de Kurosh est un résultat de structure concernant les sous-groupes d’un produit libre de groupes. Le théorème principal de cet article est un résultat analogue dans le cadre des relations d’équivalence boréliennes à classes dénombrables, que nous démontrons en développant une théorie de Bass-Serre dans ce cadre particulier.
