A group G is called bounded if every conjugation-invariant norm on G has finite diameter. We introduce various strengthenings of this property and investigate them in several classes of groups including semisimple Lie groups, arithmetic…

In [6], a constraint on invariant measures of bi-permutative cellular automata has been observed: fixed values at the positive indices determine almost-surely a uniform conditional probability on the subset of values of positive conditional…

We investigate invariants for random elements of different hyperbolic groups. We provide a method, using Cayley graphs of groups, to compute the probability distribution of the minimal length of a random word, and explicitly compute the…

A short note on bounds on distance to variety of a point in terms of the Taylor coefficients at the point.

We survey the known results regarding the boundaries of word-hyperbolic groups.

We observe that a function on a group equipped with a bi-invariant word metric is Lipschitz if and only if it is a partial quasimorphism bounded on the generating set. We also show that an undistorted element is always detected by an…

We formulate and prove Chevalley's theorem in the setting of affine Nash groups. As a consequence, we show that the semi-direct product of two almost linear Nash groups is still an almost linear Nash group.

We are interested in the Guivarc'h inequality for admissible random walks on finitely generated relatively hyperbolic groups, endowed with a word metric. We show that for random walks with finite super-exponential moment, if this inequality…

We bound the change in entropy incurred by an irreducible subshift of finite type upon perturbing it by forbidding a pair of admissible words. Lind has proven such bounds in the one-word case, and we adapt his methods. In particular, we…

We present explicit upper bounds for the number and size of conjugacy classes in finite Chevalley groups and their variations. These results have been used by many authors to study zeta functions associated to representations of finite…

We show for very general classes of measures on locally compact second countable groups that every Borel measurable quasimorphism is at bounded distance from a quasi-biharmonic one. This allows us to deduce non-degenerate central limit…

We develop a notion of degree for functions between two abelian groups that allows us to generalize the Chevalley Warning Theorems from fields to noncommutative rings or abelian groups of prime power order.

We prove the Chevalley restriction theorem for the commuting scheme of symplectic Lie algebras. The key step is the construction of the inverse map of the Chevalley restriction map called the spectral data map. Along the way, we establish a…

We prove a Chevalley restriction theorem and its double analogue for the cyclic quiver.

Data sets sampled in Lie groups are widespread, and as with multivariate data, it is important for many applications to assess the differences between the sets in terms of their distributions. Indices for this task are usually derived by…

It is shown that the restriction of the action of any group with finite orbit on the minimal sets of dendrites is equicontinuous. Consequently, we obtain that the action of any amenable group and Thompson group on dendrite restricted on…

Let $\Sigma_g$ be a closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g$ and let $Ham(\Sigma_g)$ be the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $\Sigma_g$. The most natural word metric on this group is the autonomous metric. It has many interesting…

We present a method for the enumeration of restricted words over a finite alphabet. Restrictions are described through the inclusion or exclusion of suitable building blocks used to construct the words by concatenation. Our approach, which…

We study word maps with constants on symmetric groups. Even though there are mixed identities of bounded length that are valid for all symmetric groups, we show that no such identities hold in a metric sense. Moreover, we prove that word…

We prove that an element from the Chevalley group of type $E_6$ or $E_7$ over a polynomial ring with coefficients in a small-dimensional ring can be reduced to an element of certain proper subsystem subgroup by a bounded number of…
