Reference request: Name or use of this group of diffeomorphisms of the disc
Let $k \in \{0,\infty\}$, $G\subseteq \operatorname{Diff}^k(D^n)$ be the set of diffeomorphisms $\phi:D^n\to D^n$ of the closed $n$-disc $D^n$ (with its boundary) satisfying the following:
$
\phi(S_r^...

Mal'cev completions of finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups
There is some question from geometric group theory:
One wonders if the following conditions are equivalent for finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent groups $\Gamma$ and $\Lambda$:
$\Gamma$ and $\...

Estimate word-metric length in free nilpotent groups
I would like to estimate the length of a word in a free nilpotent group. As the first example, I would like to estimate the word metric in the Heisenberg group $H_3$. This is the group of upper ...

Convergence of Fuchsian groups and existence of suitable homeomorphisms
Let $(\Gamma_n)_n$ ($\subset PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$) be a sequence of discrete groups, if we say that $(\Gamma_n)_n$ converges to a group $\Gamma$ this means that there exist isomorphisms $\tau_n:\Gamma\...

Existence of loxodromic elements in certain subsets of $\text{PSL}_2(\mathbb C)$
Let $R$ be a subset of $\text{PSL}_2(\mathbb C)$ and consider its natural action on $\mathbb {CP}^1$. We say that $R$ is elementary if either $R$ is conjugated to a subset of $\text{SU(2)}$ or if ...

Uniform sub-linearity of sub-additive functions on groups
Suppose $G$ is a finitely generated group and suppose $f: G \to \mathbb{R}$ is subadditive function, that is: $f(g_1\circ g_2) \leq f(g_1) + f(g_2)$. One example of such $f$ is the word length in some ...

Are lattices in the special real linear group subgroup seperable?
Let $G \leq SL_2(\mathbb{R})$ be a lattice, let $H \leq G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of infinite index, and let $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Must there be some $H \leq U \leq G$ such that $n \leq [G : U]...
