Almost finitely presented soluble groups.
Almost fixed-point-free automorphisms of prime order
Let ϕ be an automorphism of prime order p of the group G with C G(ϕ) finite of order n. We prove the following. If G is soluble of finite rank, then G has a nilpotent characteristic subgroup of finite index and class bounded in terms of p only. If G is a group with finite Hirsch number h, then G has a soluble characteristic subgroup of finite index in G with derived length bounded in terms of p and n only and a soluble characteristic subgroup of finite index in G whose index and derived length are...

Amalgamated products and finitely presented groups.
Amalgams of torsion-free nilpotent groups of class three
Amenability of linear-activity automaton groups
We prove that every linear-activity automaton group is amenable. The proof is based on showing that a random walk on a specially constructed degree 1 automaton group – the mother group – has asymptotic entropy 0. Our result answers an open question by Nekrashevych in the Kourovka notebook, and gives a partial answer to a question of Sidki.
Amenable actions of amalgamated free products of free groups over a cyclic subgroup and generic property
We show that the amalgamated free products of two free groups over a cyclic subgroup admit amenable, faithful and transitive actions on infinite countable sets. This work generalizes the results on such actions for doubles of free group on two generators.
Amenable actions of nonamenable groups.
Amenable hyperbolic groups
We give a complete characterization of the locally compact groups that are non elementary Gromov-hyperbolic and amenable. They coincide with the class of mapping tori of discrete or continuous one-parameter groups of compacting automorphisms. We moreover give a description of all Gromov-hyperbolic locally compact groups with a cocompact amenable subgroup: modulo a compact normal subgroup, these turn out to be either rank one simple Lie groups, or automorphism groups of semiregular trees acting doubly...
Amenable, transitive and faithful actions of groups acting on trees
We study under which condition an amalgamated free product or an HNN-extension over a finite subgroup admits an amenable, transitive and faithful action on an infinite countable set. We show that such an action exists if the initial groups admit an amenable and almost free action with infinite orbits (e.g. virtually free groups or infinite amenable groups). Our result relies on the Baire category Theorem. We extend the result to groups acting on trees.

An elementary class extending abelian-by- groups, for infinite
We show that for no infinite group the class of abelian-by- groups is elementary, but, at least when is an infinite elementary abelian -group (with prime), the class of groups admitting a normal abelian subgroup whose quotient group is elementarily equivalent to is elementary.
