We prove that given any $\epsilon>0$, random integral $n\times n$ matrices with independent entries that lie in any residue class modulo a prime with probability at most $1-\epsilon$ have cokernels asymptotically (as $n\rightarrow\infty$)…

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…

Let G be a symplectic or orthogonal complex Lie group with Lie algebra g. As a G-module, the decomposition of the symmetric algebra S(g) into its irreducible components can be explicitely obtained by using identities due to Littlewood. We…

Let $P_r(n)$ be the set of partitions of n with non negative rth differences. Let $\lambda$ be a partition chosen uniformly at random among the set $P_r(n)$. Let $d(\lambda)$ be a positive rth difference chosen uniformly at random in…

We first obtain explicit upper bounds for the proportion of elements in a finite classical group G with a given characteristic polynomial. We use this to complete the proof that the proportion of elements of a finite classical group G which…

For a finite group $\Gamma$, we study the distribution of the Galois group $G_{\emptyset}^{\#}(K)$ of the maximal unramified extension of $K$ that is split completely at $\infty$ and has degree prime to $|\Gamma|$ and $\textit{Char}(K)$, as…

We study criteria for a ring - or more generally, for a small category - to be Gorenstein and for a module over it to be of finite projective dimension. The goal is to unify the universal coefficient theorems found in the literature and to…

A novel lower bound is introduced for the full rank probability of random finite field matrices, where a number of elements with known location are identically zero, and remaining elements are chosen independently of each other, uniformly…

Random matrix ensembles are introduced that respect the local tensor structure of Hamiltonians describing a chain of $n$ distinguishable spin-half particles with nearest-neighbour interactions. We prove a central limit theorem for the…

Fix an integral semisimple element $\lambda$ in the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of a complex reductive algebraic group $G$. Let $L$ denote the centralizer of $\lambda$ in $G$ and let $\mathfrak{g}(-1)$ denote the $-1$ eigenspace of…

In this paper, we make specific conjectures about the distribution of Jacobians of random graphs with their canonical duality pairings. Our conjectures are based on a Cohen-Lenstra type heuristic saying that a finite abelian group with…

There are many formulas that express interesting properties of a finite group G in terms of sums over its characters. For estimating these sums, one of the most salient quantities to understand is the character ratio trace(\pi(g)) /…

We suggest an hierarchy of all the results known so far about the connection of the asymptotics of combinatorial or representation theoretic problems with ``beta=2 ensembles'' arising in the random matrix theory. We show that all such…

If \A is a complex hyperplane arrangement, with complement X, we show that the Chen ranks of G=\pi_1(X) are equal to the graded Betti numbers of the linear strand in a minimal, free resolution of the cohomology ring A=H^*(X,\k), viewed as a…

We consider the Galois group $G_2(K)$ of the maximal unramified $2$-extension of $K$ where $K/\mathbb{Q}$ is cyclic of degree $3$. We also consider the group $G^+_2(K)$ where ramification is allowed at infinity. In the spirit of the…

Let $G_1, \dots, G_k$ be vector spaces over a finite field $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{F}_q$ with a non-trivial additive character $\chi$. The analytic rank of a multilinear form $\alpha \colon G_1 \times \dots \times G_k \to \mathbb{F}$ is…

Based on the Gale-Ryser theorem for the existence of suitable $(0,1)$-matrices for different partitions of a natural number, we revisit the classical result of G. G. Lorentz regarding the characterization of a plane measurable set, in terms…

For $n \times n$ random integer matrices $M_1,\ldots,M_k$, the cokernels of the partial products $\mathrm{cok}(M_1 \cdots M_i), 1 \leq i \leq k$ naturally define a random flag of abelian $p$-groups. We prove that as $n \to \infty$, this…

We introduce a heuristic prediction for the distribution of the isomorphism class of the Galois group of the maximal pro-p extension of Q unramified outside a "random" set of primes. This is guided by reasoning similar to that governing the…

We develop a finite KKG-theory of C*-algebras following Arlettaz- H.Inassaridze's approach to finite algebraic K-theory. The Browder- Karoubi-Lambre's theorem on the orders of the elements for finite algebraic K-theory is extended to finite…
