Reconstruction of vertex algebras in even higher dimensions

Bojko N. Bakalov, Nikolay M. Nikolov

Vertex algebras in higher dimensions correspond to models of quantum field theory with global conformal invariance. Any vertex algebra in dimension D admits a restriction to a vert…

Constructing uncountably many groups with the same profinite completion

Nikolay Nikolov, Dan Segal

We present two uncountable families of finitely generated residually finite groups all having the same profinite completion. One consists of soluble groups, the other of branch gro…

Torsion growth in finitely presented pro- groups

Nikolay Nikolov

We prove that torsion in the abelianizations of open normal subgroups in finitely presented pro- groups can grow arbitrarily fast. By way of contrast in - analytic…

On profinite groups with positive rank gradient

Nikolay Nikolov

We prove that a profinite group with positive rank gradient does not satisfy a group law. In the case when is a pro- group we show that contains a nonabelian dense f…

Semi-Differential Operators and the Algebra of Operator Product Expansion of Quantum Fields

Nikolay M. Nikolov

We introduce a symmetric operad whose algebras are the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) Algebras of quantum fields. There is a natural classical limit for the algebras over this op…

2D problems in groups

Aditi Kar, Nikolay Nikolov

We investigate a conjecture about stabilisation of deficiency in finite index subgroups and relate it to the D2 Problem of C.T.C. Wall and the Relation Gap problem. We verify the p…
