We consider the set $\mathcal M_n\left(\mathbb Z; H\right)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain and asymptotic formula on the number of matrices from $\mathcal M_n\left(\mathbb Z; H\right)$ with…

A subset $A$ of a group $G$ is called product-free if there is no solution to $a=bc$ with $a,b,c$ all in $A$. It is easy to see that the largest product-free subset of the symmetric group $S_n$ is obtained by taking the set of all odd…

Let $a_{1},...,a_{n}, b_{1},...,b_{n}$ be random variables in some (non-commutative) probability space, such that $\{a_{1}, ..., a_{n} \}$ is free from $\{b_{1}, ..., b_{n} \}$. We show how the joint distribution of the $n$-tuple $(a_{1}…

Let A be a unital $C^*$-algebra, given together with a specified state $\phi:A \to C$. Consider two selfadjoint elements a,b of A, which are free with respect to $\phi$ (in the sense of the free probability theory of Voiculescu). Let us…

We compute the topological K-theory of the group C*-algebra C*_r(G) for a group extension Z^n->G->Z/m provided that the conjugation action of Z/m on Z^n is free outside the origin.

Let A_r be the minimal resolution of the cyclic quotient singularity C^2/Z_{r+1}. We study the equivariant quantum cohomology ring of the n-fold symmetric product stack [Sym^n(A_r)] of A_r. We calculate the operators of quantum…

For a self-symmetric tracial von Neumann algebra $A$, we study rescalings of $A^{*n} * L\mathbb{F}_r$ for $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $r \in (1, \infty]$ and use them to obtain an interpolation $\mathcal{F}_{s,r}(A)$ for all real numbers $s>0$…

Let $G$ be a group which admits the structure of an iterated semidirect product of finitely generated free groups. We construct a finite, free resolution of the integers over the group ring of $G$. This resolution is used to define…

We adopt the viewpoint that topological And\'e-Quillen theory for commutative $S$-algebras should provide usable (co)homology theories for doing calculations in the sense traditional within Algebraic Topology. Our main emphasis is on…

We introduce the notion of commuting probability, $p(G)$, for an algebraic group $G$. This notion is inspired by the corresponding notions in finite groups and compact groups. The computation of $p(G)$ for reductive groups is readily done…

We propose sum rules for permutations $p_n(k)$ of the ensemble $\left\{1,2,\cdots,n\right\}$ with $k$ fixed points, in the form of partial sums of their moments. The corresponding identities involve Stirling numbers of the first kind…

Denote by $N_{\ell}(n)$ the number of $\ell$-tuples of elements in the symmetric group $S_n$ with commuting components, normalized by the order of $S_n$. In this paper, we prove asymptotic formulas for $N_\ell(n)$. In addition, general…

For families of Hamiltonians defined by parts that are local, the most general definition of a symmetry algebra is the commutant algebra, i.e., the algebra of operators that commute with each local part. Thinking about symmetry algebras as…

Given positive integers $r$ and $s$, we use inclusion-exclusion, weighted-counting of tilings, and dynamical programming, in order to enumerate, semi-efficiently, the classes of permutations mentioned in the title. In the process we revisit…

We establish a close connection between stable commutator length in free groups and the geometry of sails (roughly, the boundary of the convex hull of the set of integer lattice points) in integral polyhedral cones. This connection allows…

We obtain an asymptotic formula, in the spirit of the Montgomery-Hooley refinement of the Barban-Davenport-Halberstam Theorem, for the variance associated with tuples of k-free numbers in arithmetic progressions.

Recently, Sawin and Wood (arXiv:math/2210.06279) proved a formula for the distribution of a random abelian group $G$ in terms of its $H$-moments $\mathbb{E} [\#\operatorname{Sur}(G,H)]$. We show that properties of Macdonald polynomials…

Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group of permutations acting on $n$ elements. We investigate the double sequence $\{N_{\ell}(n)\}$ counting the number of $\ell$ tuples of elements of the symmetric group $S_n$, where the components commute,…

We prove by using simple number-theoretic arguments formulae concerning the number of elements of a fixed order and the number of cyclic subgroups of a direct product of several finite cyclic groups. We point out that certain multiplicative…

We cosider the number of r-tuples of squarefree numbers in a short interval. We prove that it cannot be much bigger than the expected value and we also estabish an asymptotic formula if the interval is not very short.
