. We show that if a group G is mixed-identity-free, then the projective unitary group of its group von Neumann algebra contains a maximal discrete subgroup containing G . The proofs are elementary and make use of free probability theory. In addition, we clarify the situation for C ∗ -algebras.

A mixed identity-free elementary amenable group
Abstract A group G is called mixed identity-free if for every and every there exists a homomorphism such that is the identity on G and is nontrivial. In this paper, we make a modification to the…
Finite groups and hyperbolic manifolds
The isometry group of a compact n-dimensional hyperbolic manifold is known to be finite. We show that for every n≥2, every finite group is realized as the full isometry group of some compact…

In this note it will be proved that some kinds of Lie groups (including semi-simple Lie groups) have an everywhere dense subgroup which is algebraically isomorphic to the free group generated by two…

Transitivity degrees of countable groups and acylindrical hyperbolicity
We prove that every countable acylindrically hyperbolic group admits a highly transitive action with finite kernel. This theorem uniformly generalizes many previously known results and allows us to…
