Let $G$ be an infinite group and let $X$ be a finite generating set for $G$ such that the growth series of $G$ with respect to $X$ is a rational function; in this case $G$ is said to have rational growth with respect to $X$. In this paper a…

We prove that there is a gap between $\sqrt{2}$ and $(1+\sqrt{5})/2$ for the exponential growth rate of free products $G=A*B$ not isomorphic to the infinite dihedral group. For amalgamated products $G=A*_C B$ with $([A:C]-1)([B:C]-1)\geq2$,…

This article is concerned with the representation growth of profinite groups over finite fields. We investigate the structure of groups with uniformly bounded exponential representation growth (UBERG). Using crown-based powers we obtain…

We define the Cayley graph and its growth function for multivalued groups. We prove that if we change a finite set of generators of multivalued group, or change the starting point, we get an equivalent growth function. We prove that if we…

For any integer $d\geq 1$ we construct examples of finitely presented algebras with intermediate growth of type $[e^{n^{d/(d+1)}}]$. We produce these examples by computing the growth types of some finitely presented metabelian Lie algebras.

We show that for any $k$-times continuously differentiable function $f:[a,\infty)\longrightarrow{\mathbb R}$, any integer $q\ge 0$ and any $\alpha>1$ the inequality $$\liminf_{x\to\infty} \frac{x^k \cdot\log x\cdot \log_2 x\cdot\dots\cdot…

We show that unary log-analytic functions are polynomially bounded. In the higher dimensional case globally a log-analytic function can have exponential growth. We show that a log-analytic function is polynomially bounded on a definable set…

We study acts and modules of maximal growth over finitely generated free monoids and free associative algebras as well as free groups and free group algebras. The maximality of the growth implies some other specific properties of these acts…

In this short article, we study the extremal behavior $F_\Gamma(n)$ of divisibility functions $D_\Gamma$ introduced by the first author for finitely generated groups $\Gamma$. We show finitely generated subgroups of $\GL(m,K)$ for an…

The representation zeta function of a profinite group $G$ encodes the distribution of continuous irreducible complex representations of $G$ as a function of the dimension. Its abscissa of convergence $\alpha(G)$ describes the polynomial…

We give sufficient conditions for when groups generated by automata in a class $\mathcal{C}$ of transducers, which contains the class of reset automata transducers, have infinite order. As a consequence we also demonstrate that if a group…

In this paper, we consider the conjugacy growth function of a group, which counts the number of conjugacy classes which intersect a ball of radius $n$ centered at the identity. We prove that in the case of virtually polycyclic groups, this…

This paper aims to study in more depth the relation between growth in matrix groups ${{\rm SL_2}}(\mathbf{F})$ and ${{\rm Aff}}(\mathbf{F})$ over a field $\mathbf{F}$ by multiplication and geometric incidence estimates, associated with the…

We prove a totally explicit bound for short sums of certain non-negative arithmetic functions satisfying a general growth condition, and apply this result to derive two explicit estimates for the Erd\H{o}s-Hooley $\Delta$-function in short…

In this paper we prove that a finite group of order $r$ has at most $$ 7.3722\cdot r^{\frac{\log_2r}{4}+1.5315}$$ subgroups.

We give sharp bounds in Breuillard, Green and Tao's finitary version of Gromov's theorem on groups with polynomial growth. Precisely, we show that for every non-negative integer d there exists $c=c(d)>0$ such that if $G$ is a group with…

In this paper we further study the relationship between convexity and additive growth, building on the work of Schoen and Shkredov (\cite{SS}) to get some improvements to earlier results of Elekes, Nathanson and Ruzsa (\cite{ENR}). In…

Let G be a finitely presented group, and let {G_i} be a collection of finite index normal subgroups that is closed under intersections. Then, we prove that at least one of the following must hold: 1. G_i is an amalgamated free product or…

We prove that the product of a subset and a normal subset inside any finite simple non-abelian group $G$ grows rapidly. More precisely, if $A$ and $B$ are two subsets with $B$ normal and neither of them is too large inside $G$, then $|AB|…

Choose a polynomial $f$ uniformly at random from the set of all monic polynomials of degree $n$ with integer coefficients in the box $[-L,L]^n$. The main result of the paper asserts that if $L=L(n)$ grows to infinity, then the Galois group…
