In 2004, a counterexample was given for a 1965 result of R. J. Elliott claiming that discrete spectral synthesis holds on every Abelian group. Since then the investigation of discrete spectral analysis and synthesis has gained traction. Characterizations of the Abelian groups that possess spectral analysis and spectral synthesis, respectively, were published in 2005. A characterization of the varieties on discrete Abelian groups enjoying spectral synthesis is still missing. We present a ring theoretical approach to the issue. In particular, we provide a generalization of the Principal Ideal Theorem on discrete Abelian groups.

For a group [Formula: see text] and a set [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be the monoid of all cellular automata over [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be its group of units. By establishing a characterization of surjunctive groups in terms of the monoid [Formula: see text], we prove that the rank of [Formula: see text] (i.e. the smallest cardinality of a generating set) is equal to the rank of [Formula: see text] plus the relative rank of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], and that the latter is infinite when [Formula: see text] has an infinite decreasing chain of normal subgroups of finite index, condition which is satisfied, for example, for any infinite residually finite group. Moreover, when [Formula: see text] is a vector space over a field [Formula: see text], we study the monoid [Formula: see text] of all linear cellular automata over [Formula: see text] and its group of units [Formula: see text]. We show that if [Formula: see text] is an indicable group and [Formula: see text] is finite-dimensional, then [Formula: see text] is not finitely generated; however, for any finitely generated indicable group [Formula: see text], the group [Formula: see text] is finitely generated if and only if [Formula: see text] is finite.

AbstractWe prove that certain tree products of finitely generated Abelian groups have Property E. Using this fact, we show that the outer automorphism groups of those tree products of Abelian groups and Brauner’s groups are residually finite.

Let [Formula: see text] be the fundamental group of a surface of finite type and [Formula: see text] be its abstract commensurator. Then [Formula: see text] contains the solvable Baumslag–Solitar groups [Formula: see text] for any [Formula: see text]. Moreover, the Baumslag–Solitar group [Formula: see text] has an image in [Formula: see text] that is not residually finite. Our proofs are computer-assisted. Our results also illustrate that finitely-generated subgroups of [Formula: see text] are concrete objects amenable to computational methods. For example, we give a proof that [Formula: see text] is not residually finite without the use of normal forms of HNN extensions.

Abstract.We give a characterization of hypercyclic abelian group 𝒢 of affine maps on ℂn. If G is finitely generated, this characterization is explicit. We prove in particular that no abelian group generated by n affine maps on Cn has a dense orbit.

Abstract For an ascending HNN-extension $G*_{\psi }$ of a finitely generated abelian group G, we study how a synchronization between the geometry of the group and weak periodicity of a configuration in $\mathcal {A}^{G*_{\psi }}$ forces global constraints on it, as well as in subshifts containing it. A particular case are Baumslag–Solitar groups $\mathrm {BS}(1,N)$ , $N\ge 2$ , for which our results imply that a $\mathrm {BS}(1,N)$ -subshift of finite type which contains a configuration with period $a^{N^\ell }\!, \ell \ge 0$ , must contain a strongly periodic configuration with monochromatic $\mathbb {Z}$ -sections. Then we study proper n-colorings, $n\ge 3$ , of the (right) Cayley graph of $\mathrm {BS}(1,N)$ , estimating the entropy of the associated subshift together with its mixing properties. We prove that $\mathrm {BS}(1,N)$ admits a frozen n-coloring if and only if $n=3$ . We finally suggest generalizations of the latter results to n-colorings of ascending HNN-extensions of finitely generated abelian groups.

We prove that a polygonal product of polycyclic-by-finite groups amalgamating subgroups, with trivial intersections, is cyclic subgroup separable (hence, it is residually finite) if the amalgamated subgroups are contained in the centres of the vertex groups containing them. Hence a polygonal product of finitely generated abelian groups, amalgamating any subgroups with trivial intersections, is cyclic subgroup separable. Unlike this result, most polygonal products of four finitely generated abelian groups, with trivial intersections, are not subgroup separable (LERF). We find necessary and sufficient conditions for certain polygonal products of four groups to be subgroup separable.

In [5] Grossman showed that outer automorphism groups of free groups and of fundamental groups of compact orientable surfaces are residually finite. In this paper we introduce the concept of "Property E" of groups and show that certain generalized free products and HNN extensions have this property. We deduce that the outer automorphism groups of finitely generated non-triangle Fuchsian groups are residually finite.
