We show that if $T$ is a dependent theory then so is its Keisler randomisation $T^R$. In order to do this we generalise the notion of a Vapnik-Chervonenkis class to families of $[0,1]$-valued functions (a \emph{continuous}…

We study finitely-generated nondiscrete free subgroups in Lie groups. We address the following question first raised by \'Etienne Ghys: is it always possible to make arbitrarily small perturbation of the generators of the free subgroup in…

In this work we study positivity preservers $T:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ with constant coefficients and define their generators $A$ if they exist, i.e., $\exp(A) = T$. We use the theory of regular Fr\'echet Lie…

Fix a finite field $K$ of order $q$ and a word $w$ in a free group $F$ on $r$ generators. A $w$-random element in $GL_N(K)$ is obtained by sampling $r$ independent uniformly random elements $g_1,\ldots,g_r\in GL_N(K)$ and evaluating…

We introduce the notion of a regular quadratic equation and a regular NTQ system over a free group. We prove the results that can be described as Implicit function theorems for algebraic varieties corresponding to regular quadratic and NTQ…

A Beauville group acts freely on the product of two compact Riemann surfaces and faithfully on each one of them. In this paper, we consider higher products and present {\it{generalised Beauville groups}}: for $d \geq 2$, $d$ is the minimal…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated solvable-by-finite linear group. We present an algorithm to compute the torsion-free rank of $G$ and a bound on the Pr\"{u}fer rank of $G$. This yields in turn an algorithm to decide whether a finitely…

It is observed that the conjugacy growth series of the infinite finitary symmetric group with respect to the generating set of transpositions is the generating series of the partition function. Other conjugacy growth series are computed,…

On the one hand, it is well known that the only subquadratic Dehn function of finitely presented groups is the linear one. On the other hand there is a huge class of Dehn functions $d(n)$ with growth at least $n^4$ (essentially all possible…

We show that for any finite-rank free group $\Gamma$, any word-equation in one variable of length $n$ with constants in $\Gamma$ fails to be satisfied by some element of $\Gamma$ of word-length $O(\log (n))$. By a result of the first…

The one dimensional distribution of a L\'{e}vy process is not known in general even though its characteristic function is given by the famous L\'{e}vy-Khinchine theorem. This article gives an exact series representation for the one…

We extend the notions of finite free convolution and finite free cumulants to the setting of formal power series by introducing their natural analogues, namely $t$-deformed convolution and $t$-deformed cumulants. In this framework, we…

Let us fix two different radial eigenfunctions of a hyperbolic Laplacian and assume that both of them have the same value at the origin. Both eigenvalues can be complex numbers. The main goal of this paper is to estimate the lower bound for…
