Abstract

We construct the first examples of uncountable families of residually finite duality groups of type $FP$, all of which have isomorphic profinite completions, while being pairwise not quasi-isometric. To establish these finiteness properties, we prove conjectures of Leary regarding groups of deck transformations of certain cubical branched covers being residually finite and virtually special. The main new tool is a strong separability result for Bestvina-Brady groups, allowing the extension of any finite quotient of many Bestvina-Brady subgroups to a finite quotient of the whole group. This gives a finite version of the congruence extension property, which we also establish for the same group pairs.

Factorizations of finite groups

A finite group $G$ is called $k$-factorizable if for every ordered factorization $|G|=a_1\cdots a_k$ into integers each greater than $1$ there exist subsets $A_1,\dots,A_k\subseteq G$ such that $|A_i|=a_i$ for each $i$ and $G=A_1\cdots A_k$. The main results are as follows. 1. (Theorem 1.1) For every integer $k\geq3$ there exists a finite group $G$ such that $G$ is not $k$-factorizable. 2. (Theorem 1.2) Let $G$ be a finite group of order $4m$. If a Sylow $2$-subgroup of $G$ is elementary abelian and all involutions of $G$ are conjugate, then $G$ has no factorization of the form $G=ABC$ with $|A|=|C|=2$ and $|B|=m$. 3. Only $8$ groups of order at most $100$ fail to be $k$-factorizable for some $k$ (Theorem 1.3).

Spherical and affine Artin groups, finite quotients, and the isomorphism problem

We compute the smallest non-abelian quotients of spherical and affine Artin groups. Usually, these are isomorphic to the smallest non-abelian quotients of the corresponding Coxeter groups. As applications, we deduce that two affine Artin groups are isomorphic if and only if their Coxeter diagrams are isomorphic and that irreducible spherical Artin groups are distinguished from each other by their finite quotient groups.
