Group theory

Higman group

In mathematics, the Higman group, introduced by Graham Higman, was the first example of an infinite finitely presented group with no non-trivial finite quotients. The quotient by the maximal proper normal subgroup is a finitely generated infinite simple group. later found some finitely presented infinite groups Gn,r that are simple if n is even and have a simple subgroup of index 2 if n is odd, one of which is one of the Thompson groups. Higman's group is generated by 4 elements a, b, c, d with the relations (Wikipedia).

Mima Stanojkovski - Groups from determinantal curves

Groups are fundamental entities in mathematics and in the sciences, which, when viewed as symmetries of objects, can help understand better or tell the objects in question apart. As "most groups are p-groups", we are motivated to understand structure and symmetries of p-groups, even though

Nicholas Katz - Exponential sums and finite groups

Correction: The affiliation of Lei Fu is Tsinghua University. This is joint work with Antonio Rojas Leon and Pham Huu Tiep, where we look for “interesting” finite groups arising as monodromy groups of “simple to remember” families of exponential sums”.

A subgroup of a group is confined if the closure of its conjugacy class in the Chabauty space does not contain the trivial subgroup. Such subgroups arise naturally as stabilisers for non-free actions on compact spaces. I will explain a result establishing a relation between the confined su
