AbstractWe give explicit examples of asymmetric Riemann surfaces (that is, Riemann surfaces with trivial conformal automorphism group) for all genera g ≥ 3. The technique uses Schreier coset diagrams to construct torsion-free subgroups in groups of signature (0; 2,3,r) for certain values of r.

We study a torsion free weakly branch group G without free subgroups defined by a three state automaton which appears in different problems related to amenability, Galois groups and monodromy. Here and in the forthcoming paper [20] we establish several important properties of G related to fractalness, branchness, just infinitness, growth, amenability and presentations.

AbstractLet G be a group, let RG be the group ring of the group G over the unital commutative ring R and let U(RG) be its group of units. Conditions which imply that U(RG) contains no free noncyclic group are studied, when R is a field of characteristic p ≠ 0, not algebraic over its prime field, and G is a solvable-by-finite group without p-elements. We also consider the case R = ℤp, the ring of p-adic integers and G torsionby- nilpotent torsion free group. Finally, the residual nilpotence of U(ℤpG) is investigated.
