Abstract

We offer a workable construction of the free right nilpotent skew braces of arbitrary class which allows us to prove (among many other things) that this free object has free additive/multiplicative groups, and that it must also be residually finite and Hopfian. We introduce the class of right nilpotent solutions, which correspond to right nilpotent skew braces. As a consequence of our construction, the free solutions in this class have a solvable Word Problem, and every law holding for finite solutions of the previous type also holds for every solution of the same type. In the remainder of the paper, we present further explicit realizations of free objects and explore their consequences. Among these are free two-sided skew braces of abelian type (with an abelian multiplicative group) and free centrally nilpotent skew braces of class 2.

Reversibility and its asymptotic counting in Picard group

We investigate reversible elements in the Picard modular group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z}[i])$. We show that reversibility coincides with strong reversibility for Kleinian groups, in particular for the Picard group. We classify reversible elements in the Picard group and characterize loxodromic reversible elements up to conjugacy. We prove that each such conjugacy class contains exactly eight special representatives. We also obtain asymptotic estimates for the number of reversible conjugacy classes with bounded trace.

Conjugator length in finitely generated groups

We describe all functions $\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ that can be realized, up to the standard equivalence, as conjugator length functions of finitely generated groups. Furthermore, we show that any two increasing functions $f,g\colon \mathbb N\to \mathbb N$ can be simultaneously realized as conjugator length functions of finitely generated, commensurable (in particular, quasi-isometric) groups.

The spectrum of conjugator length functions

A recent program tries to find which functions appear as conjugator length functions. In this note, we show that any (computable) increasing function larger than $n$ appears as $\mathrm{Cl}_G$ for some finitely generated (recursively presented) group. On the other hand, we demonstrate that either $\mathrm{Cl}_G$ must be constant or $\mathrm{Cl}_G(n)\succ n$. Combining these, we obtain a complete description of which functions appear as conjugator length functions of finitely generated groups.
