Nonsofic wreath products of residually finite groups
Gabor Kun, Andreas Thom
This work builds on the breakthrough of OpenAI in finding the first nonsofic group. We analyze the underlying proof mechanism and find further applications. Let be such that…

Mixed identities for oligomorphic automorphism groups
Manuel Bodirsky, Jakob Schneider, Andreas Thom
We study mixed identities for oligomorphic automorphism groups of countable relational structures. Our main result gives sufficient conditions for such a group to not admit a mixed…
