On the number of tuples of group elements satisfying a first-order formula

Group Theory 2024-10-17 v3

Abstract

Our result contains as special cases the Frobenius theorem (1895) on the~number of solutions to the equation xn=1x^n=1 in a finite group and the Solomon theorem (1969) on the number of solutions in a group to systems of equations with fewer equations than unknowns. Instead of systems of equations, we consider arbitrary first-order formulae in the group language with constants. Our result substantially generalizes the Klyachko--Mkrtchyan theorem (2014) on this topic.
