Rigidity of graph products of groups.
Let G be a finitely generated group. We give a new characterization of its Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant Σ(G), in terms of geometric abelian actions on R-trees. We provide a proof of Brown's characterization of Σ(G) by exceptional abelian actions of G, using geometric methods.
Étant donnés un système de racines d’une des familles A, B, C, D, F, G et le groupe abélien libre qu’il engendre, on calcule explicitement la série de croissance de ce groupe relativement à Les résultats s’interprètent en termes du polynôme d’Ehrhart de l’enveloppe convexe de .
In this note we construct examples of geometric 3-orbifolds with (orbifold) fundamental group isomorphic to a (Z-extension of a) generalized Coxeter group. Some of these orbifolds have either euclidean, spherical or hyperbolic structure. As an application, we obtain an alternative proof of theorem 1 of Hagelberg, Maclaughlan and Rosenberg in [5]. We also obtain a similar result for generalized Coxeter groups.
We study the uniform classification of the unit spheres of general Banach sequence spaces. In particular, we obtain some interesting applications involving Property H introduced by Kasparov and Yu, and Banach expanders.
Let be a non-trivial algebraically closed group and be a subset of generating in infinitely many steps. We give a construction of a binary tree associated with . Using this we show that if is -existentially closed then it is strongly bounded.
