We provide sufficient conditions for two subgroups of a hierarchically hyperbolic group to generate an amalgamated free product over their intersection. The result applies in particular to certain geometric subgroups of mapping class groups of finite-type surfaces, that is, those subgroups coming from the embeddings of closed subsurfaces. In the second half of the paper, we study under which hypotheses our amalgamation procedure preserves several notions of convexity in HHS, such as hierarchical quasiconvexity (as introduced by Behrstock, Hagen, and Sisto) and strong quasiconvexity (every quasigeodesic with endpoints on the subset lies in a uniform neighbourhood). This answers a question of Russell, Spriano, and Tran.

We classify all finite groups such that all irreducible character degrees appear with multiplicity at most $2$. As a consequence, we prove that the largest group with at most $2$ irreducible characters of the same degree is the Baby Monster.

Tambara functors arise in equivariant homotopy theory as the structure adherent to the homotopy groups of a coherently commutative equivariant ring spectrum. We show that if $k$ is a field-like $C_{p^n}$-Tambara functor, then $k$ is the coinduction of a field-like $C_{p^s}$-Tambara functor $ell$ such that $ell(C_{p^s}/e)$ is a field. If this field has characteristic other than $p$, we observe that $ell$ must be a fixed-point Tambara functor, and if the characteristic is $p$, we determine all possible forms of $ell$ through an analysis of the behavior of the Frobenius endomorphism and an application of Artin-Schreier theory.

J. S. Wilson proved in 1971 an isomorphism between the structural lattice associated to a group belonging to his second class of groups with every proper quotient finite and the Boolean algebra of clopen subsets of Cantor's ternary set. In this paper we generalize this isomorphism to the class of branch groups. Moreover, we show that for every faithful branch action of a group $G$ on a spherically homogeneous rooted tree $T$ there is a canonical $G$-equivariant isomorphism between the Boolean algebra associated with the structure lattice of $G$ and the Boolean algebra of clopen subsets of the boundary of $T$.

We study the double-coset zeta functions for groups acting on trees, focusing mainly on weakly locally $infty$-transitive or (P)-closed actions. After giving a geometric characterisation of convergence for the defining series, we provide explicit determinant formulae for the relevant zeta functions in terms of local data of the action. Moreover, we prove that evaluation at $-1$ satisfies the expected identity with the Euler-Poincar'e characteristic of the group. The behaviour at $-1$ also sheds light on a connection with the Ihara zeta function of a weighted graph introduced by A. Deitmar.

We provide a fine classification of rigid three-dimensional torus quotients with isolated canonical singularities, up to biholomorphism and diffeomorphism. This complements the classification of Calabi-Yau 3-folds of type $rm{III}_0$, which are those quotients with Gorenstein singularities.

Let $G leqslant {rm Sym}(Omega)$ be a finite transitive permutation group and recall that an element in $G$ is a derangement if it has no fixed points on $Omega$. Let $Delta(G)$ be the set of derangements in $G$ and define $delta(G) = |Delta(G)|/|G|$ and $Delta(G)^2 = { xy ,:, x,y in Delta(G)}$. In recent years, there has been a focus on studying derangements in simple groups, leading to several remarkable results. For example, by combining a theorem of Fulman and Guralnick with recent work by Larsen, Shalev and Tiep, it follows that $delta(G) geqslant 0.016$ and $G = Delta(G)^2$ for all sufficiently large simple transitive groups $G$. In this paper, we extend these results in several directions. For example, we prove that $delta(G) geqslant 89/325$ and $G = Delta(G)^2$ for all finite simple primitive groups with soluble point stabilisers, without any order assumptions, and we show that the given lower bound on $delta(G)$ is best possible. We also prove that every finite simple transitive group can be generated by two conjugate derangements, and we present several new results on derangements in arbitrary primitive permutation groups.

In this article we give characterizations of the notions of van der Corput (vdC) set, nice vdC set and set of nice recurrence (defined below) in countable amenable groups. This allows us to prove that nice vdC sets are sets of nice recurrence and that vdC sets are independent of the F{o}lner sequence used to define them, answering questions from Bergelson and Lesigne in the context of countable amenable groups. We also give a spectral characterization of vdC sets in abelian groups. The methods developed in this paper allow us to establish a converse to the Furstenberg correspondence principle. In addition, we introduce vdC sets in general non amenable groups and establish some basic properties of them, such as partition regularity. Several results in this paper, including the converse to Furstenberg's correspondence principle, have also been proved independently by Robin Tucker-Drob and Sohail Farhangi in their article `Van der Corput sets in amenable groups and beyond', which is being uploaded to arXiv simultaneously to this one.

We characterize the normal extensions of inverse semigroups isomorphic to full restricted semidirect products, and present a Kalouznin-Krasner theorem which holds for a wider class of normal extensions of inverse semigroups than that in the well-known embedding theorem due to Billhardt, and also strengthens that result in two respects. First, the wreath product construction applied in our result, and stemmming from Houghton's wreath product, is a full restricted semidirect product not merely a lambda-semidirect product. Second, the Kernel classes of our wreath product construction are direct products of some Kernel classes of the normal extension to be embedded rather than only inverse subsemigroups of the direct power of its whole Kernel.

We answer a question of Bergelson and Lesigne by showing that the notion of van der Corput set does not depend on the Fo lner sequence used to define it. This result has been discovered independently by Sa'ul Rodr'iguez Mart'in. Both ours and Rodr'iguez's proofs proceed by first establishing a converse to the Furstenberg Correspondence Principle for amenable groups. This involves studying the distributions of Reiter sequences over congruent sequences of tilings of the group. Lastly, we show that many of the equivalent characterizations of van der Corput sets in $mathbb{N}$ that do not involve Fo lner sequences remain equivalent for arbitrary countably infinite groups.
