Are there any "simple" monoids with intermediate growth?
The discovery of the Grigorchuk group which has intermediate growth caused a number of other such groups to be found, but they are all fairly complicated, and as far as I know none of them are ...

Generating the monoid of injective endomorphisms of the free group
Let $F$ be the free group of rank $2$ (or any finite rank if this does not matter). The set of injective group endomorphisms $F\to F$ forms a monoid $M$ by compositions. Is there a simple looking set ...

Examples of groups with a positive homogeneous presentation without the Haagerup property or not of type $F_\infty$
I am looking for groups with a certain presentation that do not have the Haagerup property or are finitely presented but not of type $F_\infty$ (meaninig that for some $n\geq 3$ we cannot find any ...

Computing the pro-solvable closure of a finitely generated subgroup of a free group
The pro-solvable topology on a group $G$ is the unique group topology such that the set of normal subgroups $N\lhd G$ with $G/N$ a finite solvable group is a fundamental system of neighborhoods of the ...

When is the submonoid preserving a subspace finitely generated?
Let $T$ be a topological space with at least one open set whose closure is not open.
Let $G$ be a finitely generated group acting by homeomorphisms on $T$. Let $S\subset T$ be a subspace.
Under what ...

Quasi-isometries and E-unitary inverse semigroups
Let $S = \langle K\rangle$ be a finitely generated inverse semigroup, where $K \subset S$ is a fixed, finite and symmetric set of generators.
Preliminaries: Recall that we say that $s, t \in S$ are $\...

Another matrices for a semigroup with intermediate growth
Nathanson showed that the Okninski's semigroup $S$ of $2×2$ matrices which is generated by the set $H=\{A,B\}$, where
$
A=\begin{bmatrix}
1&1\\
0&1\\
\end{bmatrix}
