We study the joint distribution of the solutions to the equation $gh=x$ in $G(\mathbb{F}_p)$ as $p\to\infty$, for any fixed $x\in G(\mathbb{Z})$, where $G=\operatorname{GL}_n$, $\operatorname{SL}_n$, $\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}$ or…

Let $G_1,..., G_n \in \Fp[X_1,...,X_m]$ be $n$ polynomials in $m$ variables over the finite field $\Fp$ of $p$ elements. A result of {\'E}. Fouvry and N. M. Katz shows that under some natural condition, for any fixed $\varepsilon$ and…

In this paper, the notion of a uniformly distributed systems of elements on the variety of metabelian Lie algebras is introduced. This notion is analogous to one of a measure preserving systems of elements on group varieties. As the main…

We establish the universality of the singular numbers in random matrix products over $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ as the number of products approaches infinity, with a fixed $n\ge 1$. We demonstrate that, under a broad class of…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a non-archimedean local field of positive characteristic different from 2. We consider distributions on $\mathrm{GL}(n+1,\mathbb{F})$ which are invariant under the adjoint action of $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{F})$. We prove…

Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…

In the local, characteristic 0, non archimedean case, we consider distributions on GL(n+1) which are invariant under the adjoint action of GL(n). We prove that such distributions are invariant by transposition. This implies that an…

Motivated by analogous results for the symmetric group and compact Lie groups, we study the distribution of the number of fixed vectors of a random element of a finite classical group. We determine the limiting moments of these…

We consider random stochastic matrices $M$ with elements given by $M_{ij}=|U_{ij}|^2$, with $U$ being uniformly distributed on one of the classical compact Lie groups or associated symmetric spaces. We observe numerically that, for large…

In [earlier work by the author], it was shown that if U is a random n x n unitary matrix, then for any p>=n, the eigenvalues of U^p are i.i.d. uniform; similar results were also shown for general compact Lie groups. We study what happens…

We have discovered an invariant distribution for local packing configurations in static granular media. This distribution holds in experiments for packing fractions covering most of the range from random loose packed to random close packed,…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a finite connected graph $\mathcal G$. Let $\mathfrak M$ be an abelian group. A {\it distribution} on the boundary $\partial\Delta$ of the universal covering tree $\Delta$ is an $\mathfrak M$-valued…

We present conditions that allow us to pass from the convergence of probability measures in distribution to the uniform convergence of the associated quantile functions. Under these conditions, one can in particular pass from the asymptotic…

We give a survey of some known results and of the many open questions in the study of generic phenomena in geometrically interesting groups.

Let $n, u \geq 0$, $M$ be a ($n$+$u$) $\times$ $n$ matrices over $\mathbb{Z}_p$, and $G$ be a finite abelian p-group group. We find that the probability that the cokernel of $M$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_p^u \oplus G$ as $n$ goes to…

We show that the fixed elements for the natural GL_m-action on the universal division algebra UD(m,n) of m generic n x n matrices form a division subalgebra of degree n, assuming n >= 3 and 2 <= m <= n^2 - 2. This allows us to describe the…

We extend classical results on the classification of reversible elements of the group $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{C})$ (and $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{R})$) to $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{H})$ using an infinitesimal version of the classical…

A scalar field obeying a Lorentz invariant higher order wave equation, is minimally coupled to the electromagnetic field. The propagator and vertex factors for the Feynman diagrams, are determined. As an example we write down the matrix…

Toral automorphisms, represented by unimodular integer matrices, are investigated with respect to their symmetries and reversing symmetries. We characterize the symmetry groups of GL(n,Z) matrices with simple spectrum through their…
