Gowers has elegantly characterized the finite groups $G$ in which $A_1A_2A_3 = G$ for any positive density subsets $A_1,A_2,A_3$. This property, quasi-randomness, holds if and only if G does not admit a nontrivial irreducible representation…
Elements of the commutator subgroup of a free group can be presented as values of canonical forms, called Wicks forms. We show that, starting from sufficiently high genus g, there is a sequence of words w(g) which can be presented by f(g)…
Let $A$ be a finite dimensional $Q-$algebra and $\Gamma subset A$ a $Z-$order. We classify those $A$ with the property that $Z^2$ does not embed in $\mathcal{U}(\Gamma)$. We call this last property the hyperbolic property. We apply this in…
An exponent of distribution 1/16 is established for square-free palindromes. The main input is an upper bound for the number of palindromes, in arithmetic progressions to large moduli, divisible by large squares. Our argument combines a…
We discuss an extended easy quantum group formalism, with the Schur-Weyl theoretic Kronecker symbols being as general as possible, and allowed to take values in $\{-1,0,1\}$, and more generally in $\mathbb T\cup\{0\}$. Our study includes an…
A smooth cuboid can be identified with a $3\times 3$ matrix of linear forms, with coefficients in a field $K$, whose determinant describes a smooth cubic in the projective plane. To each such matrix one can associate a group scheme over…
For any finitely generated, non-elementary, torsion-free group $G$ that is hyperbolic relative to $\mathbb P$, we show that there exists a group $G^*$ containing $G$ such that $G^*$ is hyperbolic relative to $\mathbb P$ and $G$ is not…
In this paper we investigate some properties of ideals in group algebras of finite groups over fields. First, we highlight an important link between their dimension, their minimal Hamming distance and the group order. This is a generalized…
A conjecture of Rosenberger says that a group of the form $\langle x,y|x^p=y^q=W(x,y)^r=1\rangle$ (with $r>1$) is either virtually solvable or contains a non-abelian free subgroup. This note is an account of an attack on the conjecture in…
We introduce a new class of large structured random matrices characterized by four fundamental properties which we discuss. We prove that this class is stable under matrix-valued and pointwise non-linear operations. We then formulate an…
Two groups have a common model geometry if they act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space. The Milnor-Schwarz lemma implies that groups with a common model geometry are quasi-isometric; however, the…
This article introduces the notion of L-tangle-free compact hyperbolic surfaces, inspired by the identically named property for regular graphs. Random surfaces of genus g, picked with the Weil-Petersson probability measure, are (a log…
Despite the recently exhibited importance of higher-order interactions for various processes, few flexible (null) models are available. In particular, most studies on hypergraphs focus on a small set of theoretical models. Here, we…
The dynamics of casual group formation has long been a subject of interest in social sciences. While early stochastic models offered foundational insights into group size distributions, they often simplified individual behaviors and lacked…
We describe a novel algorithm for random sampling of freely reduced words equal to the identity in a finitely presented group. The algorithm is based on Metropolis Monte Carlo sampling. The algorithm samples from a stretched Boltzmann…
We introduce the new notion of quotient-saturation as a measure of the immensity of the quotient structure of a group. We present a sufficient condition for a finitely presented group to be quotient-saturated, and use it to deduce that…
Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…
It is known that every infinite index quasi-convex subgroup $H$ of a non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ is a free factor in a larger quasi-convex subgroup of $G$. We give a probabilistic generalization of this result. That is, we show that…
The framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics, proposed by Tsallis, has been used to describe a variety of systems. The non-extensive statistical mechanics is usually introduced in a formal way, thus simple models exhibiting some…
In this article, we show super-rigidity of Gromov's random monster group. We prove that any morphism $\phi_\alpha$ from Gromov's random monster group $\Gamma_\alpha$ to the group $G$ has finite image for almost all $\alpha$, where $G$ is…
