Abstract

For an additively idempotent semiring (ai-semiring) $S$, let $S^0$ denote the ai-semiring obtained from $S$ by adjoining a new element $0$. In this paper, we develop an approach to investigate the interval $[\mathsf{V}(S), \mathsf{V}(S^0)]$ of ai-semiring varieties between the variety generated by $S$ and that generated by $S^0$. We establish a general sufficient condition under which this interval has the cardinality of the continuum. This is applied in particular to $[\mathsf{V}(S_7), \mathsf{V}(S_7^0)]$, where $S_7$ is a $3$-element ai-semiring and is a nonfinitely based algebra of the smallest possible order, thereby resolving an open problem proposed by Jackson, Ren, and Zhao (J. Algebra \textbf{611} (2022), 211--245). The same conclusion holds for $[\mathsf{V}(B_2^1), \mathsf{V}((B_2^1)^0)]$, where $B_2^1$ is the ai-semiring whose multiplicative reduct is the $6$-element Brandt semigroup. We also present a sufficient condition for the nonfinite basis property in ai-semiring varieties. As a corollary, we obtain a new proof of Dolinka's theorem (Internat. J. Algebra Comput. \textbf{17} (2007), no.~8, 1537--1551) that the $7$-element ai-semiring $(B_2^1)^0$ has no finite basis for its identities.

Word Measures on Wreath Products II

Every word $w$ in $F_r$, the free group of rank $r$, induces a probability measure (the $w$-measure) on every finite group $G$, by substitution of random $G$-elements in the letters. This measure is determined by its Fourier coefficients: the $w$-expectations $E_w[χ]$ of the irreducible characters of $G$. For every finite group $G$, every stable character $χ$ of $G\wr S_n$ (trace of a finitely generated $FI_G$-module), and every word $w\in F_r$, we approximate $E_w[χ]$ up to an error term of $O(n^{-π(w)})$, where $π(w)$ is the primitivity rank of $w$. This generalizes previous works by Puder, Hanany, Magee and the author. As an application we show that random Schreier graphs of representation-stable actions of $G\wr S_n$ are close-to-optimal expanders. The paper reveals a surprising relation between stable representation theory of wreath products and not-necessarily connected Stallings core graphs.

Robust quasi-isometric embeddings inapproximable by Anosov representations

Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For all but finitely many $m\in \mathbb{N}$, we exhibit the first examples of non-locally rigid, Zariski dense, robust quasi-isometric embeddings of hyperbolic groups in $\mathsf{SL}_m(\mathbb{K})$ which are not limits of Anosov representations. As a consequence, we show that higher rank analogues of Sullivan's structural stabilty theorem and of the density theorem for Kleinian groups fail for Anosov representations in $\mathsf{SL}_m(\mathbb{C}), m\geq 30$.

$\mathcal{C}$-Hereditarily conjugacy separable groups and wreath products

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the restricted wreath product $A\wr B$ to be $\mathcal{C}$-hereditarily conjugacy separable where $\mathcal{C}$ is an extension-closed pseudovariety of finite groups. Moreover, we prove that the Grigorchuk group is 2-hereditarily conjugacy separable. As an application, we demonstrate that the lamplighter groups and $\mathbb{Z} \wr \mathbb{Z}$ are hereditarily conjugacy separable (but not $p$-conjugacy separable for any prime $p$). This provides infinitely many new examples of solvable, non-polycyclic hereditarily conjugacy separable groups. Furthermore, we study wreath products of cyclic subgroup separable groups and the derived length of iterated wreath products of solvable groups with an abelian base group and, as an application, we give an explicit construction of non-polycyclic hereditarily conjugacy separable groups of arbitrary derived length as iterated wreath products of abelian groups.
