We show that for every positive integer n there exists a simple group that is of type $$\mathrm {F}_{n-1}$$Fn-1 but not of type $$\mathrm {F}_n$$Fn. For $$n\ge 3$$n≥3 these groups are the first known examples of this kind. They also provide infinitely many quasi-isometry classes of finitely presented simple groups. The only previously known infinite family of such classes, due to Caprace–Rémy, consists of non-affine Kac–Moody groups over finite fields. Our examples arise from Röver–Nekrashevych…

### Bounding the homological finiteness length

We give a criterion for bounding the homological finiteness length of certain H픉‐groups. This is used in two distinct contexts. First, the homological finiteness length of a non‐uniform lattice on a

We show that the niteness length of an S-arithmetic subgroup in a noncommutative isotropic absolutely almost simple groupG over a global function eld is one less than the sum of the local ranks of G

### Simplicity and superrigidity of twin building lattices

Kac–Moody groups over finite fields are finitely generated groups. Most of them can naturally be viewed as irreducible lattices in products of two closed automorphism groups of non-positively curved

### Higher generation subgroup sets and the Σ-invariants of graph groups

• Mathematics
• 1998
We present a general condition, based on the idea of n-generating subgroup sets, which implies that a given character χ ∈ Hom(G, ) represents a point in the homotopical or homological Σ-invariants of
