Jakob Schneider

From Oktober 2016 to November 2020 I was a PhD student at the chair of geometry under the supervision of Andreas Thom. I am currently working there as a postdoc.

My main interests are asymptotic statements about families of finite groups and metric approximation by such groups. For example I am interested in properties of the classical groups of Lie type.

My thesis:

• On ultraproducts of compact quasisimple groups

My articles:

• Some remarks on finitarily approximable groups (joint with Andreas Thom and Nikolay Nikolov)
• A note on the normal subgroup lattice of ultraproducts of finite quasisimple groups (joint with Andreas Thom)
• Word images in symmetric and classical groups of Lie type are dense (joint with Andreas Thom)
• On groups with unbounded Cayley graphs
• Isomorphism questions for metric ultraproducts of finite quasisimple groups
• Word maps with constants on symmetric groups (joint with Andreas Thom)
• The length of mixed identities for finite groups (joint with Henry Bradford and Andreas Thom)
• On the length of non-solutions to equations with constants in some linear groups (joint with Henry Bradford and Andreas Thom)
• Non-singular word maps for linear groups (joint with Henry Bradford and Andreas Thom)
• Mixed identities for oligomorphic automorphism groups (joint with Manuel Bodirsky and Andreas Thom
