A relatively free topological group that is not varietal free

Vladimir Pestov, Dmitri Shakhmatov (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Answering a 1982 question of Sidney A. Morris, we construct a topological group G and a subspace X such that (i) G is algebraically free over X, (ii) G is relatively free over X, that is, every continuous mapping from X to G extends to a unique continuous endomorphism of G, and (iii) G is not a varietal free topological group on X in any variety of topological groups.

A short proof of a theorem of Brodskii.

James Howie (2000)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

A short proof, using graphs and groupoids, is given of Brodskii’s theorem that torsion-free one-relator groups are locally indicable.

A tropical view on Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications

Annette Werner (2011)

Open Mathematics

We relate some features of Bruhat-Tits buildings and their compactifications to tropical geometry. If G is a semisimple group over a suitable non-Archimedean field, the stabilizers of points in the Bruhat-Tits building of G and in some of its compactifications are described by tropical linear algebra. The compactifications we consider arise from algebraic representations of G. We show that the fan which is used to compactify an apartment in this theory is given by the weight polytope of the representation...
