What is known/expected on the co-growth series of the braid group?
The co-growth series of finitely generated group with respect to generating set $S$ is generating function for the number of words of length $n$ which are equal to 1 in the group.
Its studies ...

The growth rate of a commutator set in a non-elementary group
Let $G$ be a non-elementary group generated by a finite set $S$. Here, a group is called non-elementary if it is not virtually abelian. Denote $S^{\le n}:=\{g\in G: |g|_S\le n\}$ for any $n\in \mathbb ...

Does the Shalen-Wagreich lemma holds for non-symmetric generating sets?
Let $G$ be a group and $H$ a subgroup with finite index $d$. Then for any finite generating set $S$ of $G$, does $S^{\le k}$ contain a generating set of $H$ where $k$ is a constant depending only on $...

Applications of infinite graph theory
Finite graph theory abounds with applications inside mathematics itself, in computer science, and engineering. Therefore, I find it naturally to do research in graph theory and I also clearly see the ...

Knot groups with big number of generators
I start by saying that I am not an expert in this field and I apologize if the question is too elementary.
Let $K$ be a knot in $S^3$. I denote by $\pi_1(K)$ the knot group, which is the fundamental ...

Graphs quasi-isometric to a plane
Suppose that a planar graph $\Gamma$ is quasi-isometric to the Euclidean plane. Is it true that the growth function $g(r)$ of $\Gamma$ with respect to any vertex $o$ (that is $g(r)$ is the number of ...
