Density of quotient orders in groups and applications to locally-transitive graphs

Group Theory 2024-10-24 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We prove that the set of orders of finite quotients of a finitely generated group has natural density 0, 1/2 or 1, and characterise when each of these cases occurs. We apply this to show that the sets of orders of various families of symmetric graphs have natural density 0.
