A ring is SSP if the sum of two direct summands is a direct summand. A ring has internal cancellation if every its (von Neumann) regular elements are unit-regular. We show that in an SSP ring having internal cancellation, any regular…

Let G be a group. We say that G has spread r if for any set of distinct elements {x1,..., xr}\subset G there exists an element y\in G with the property that <xi, y>=G for every 0<i<r+1. Few bounds on the spread of finite simple groups are…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group. In this paper, we study the density of the images of individual power maps $P_k:G\to G:g\mapsto g^k$. We give criteria for the density of $P_k(G)$ in terms of regular elements, as well as Cartan subgroups.…

$\mu$ being a nonnegative measure satisfying some log-Sobolev inequality, we give conditions on F for the measure $\nu=e^{-2F} \mu$ to also satisfy some log-Sobolev inequality. Explicit examples are studied.

Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $S$ be the numerical semigroup generated by the prime numbers not less than $p$. We compare the orders of magnitude of some invariants of $S$ with each other, e. g., the biggest atom $u$ of $S$ with $p$…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $G\subset K^\times$ be a finitely generated subgroup. Fix some prime number $\ell$, and consider the set of primes $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$ satisfying the following property: the reduction of $G$ modulo…

Given a numerical semigroup $S$ and a positive integer $d$, the fraction $\frac{S}{d}=\{ x \in \mathbb{N} \ | \ dx \in S\}$ is again a numerical semigroup. In this paper we determine a generating set for $\frac{S}{d}$ in terms of the…

We consider the question of when a semigroup is the semigroup of a valuation dominating a two dimensional noetherian local domain, giving some surprising examples. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the pair of a semigroup S…

We provide a full and rigorous proof of a theorem attributed to \.Zuk, stating that random groups in the Gromov density model for d > 1/3 have property (T) with high probability. The original paper had numerous gaps, in particular, crucial…

Let $H=\langle n_1, \ldots ,n_4\rangle$ be a numerical semigroup generated by $4$ elements, which is symmetric and let $k[H]$ be the semigroup ring of $H$ over a field $k$. H. Bresinski proved that the defining ideal of $k[H]$ is minimally…

We give a general exposition of model theoretic connected components of groups. We show that if a group G has NIP, then there exists the smallest invariant (over some small set) subgroup of G with bounded index (Theorem 5.3). This result…

Let G be a finitely generated group with a given word metric. The asymptotic density of elements in G that have a particular property P is defined to be the limit, as r goes to infinity, of the proportion of elements in the ball of radius r…

Let $A$ be a commutative ring, and assume every non-trivial ideal of $A$ has finite-index. We show that if ${\rm{SL}}_n(A)$ has bounded elementary generation then every conjugation-invariant norm on it is either discrete or precompact. If…

Let $(E,\mathcal F,\mu)$ be a probability space, and let $P$ be a Markov operator on $L^2(\mu)$ with $1$ a simple eigenvalue such that $\mu P=\mu$ (i.e. $\mu$ is an invariant probability measure of $P$). Then $\hat P:=\ff 1 2 (P+P^*)$ has a…

We estimate constraints on the existence of a heavy, mostly sterile neutrino with mass between 10 eV and 1 TeV. We improve upon previous analyses by performing a global combination and expanding the experimental inputs to simultaneously…

For a finite group $G$ and an arbitrary commutative ring $R$, Brou\'e has placed a Frobenius exact structure on the category of finitely generated $RG$-modules by taking the exact sequences to be those that split upon restriction to the…

We calculate the spectrum and allowed E1 transitions of the superheavy element Og (Z=118). A combination of configuration interaction (CI) and perturbation theory (PT) is used (Dzuba \textit{et at.} Phys. Rev. A, \textbf{95}, 012503…

Length density is a recently introduced factorization invariant, assigned to each element $n$ of a cancellative commutative atomic semigroup $S$, that measures how far the set of factorization lengths of $n$ is from being a full interval.…

Given a probability measure $\mu$ on the real line, there exists a semigroup $\mu_t$ with real parameter $t>1$ which interpolates the discrete semigroup of measures $\mu_n$ obtained by iterating its free convolution. It was shown in…

We develop tools to study Picard groups of quotients of ring spectra by a finitely generated ideal, which we use to show that $\mathrm{Pic}(\mathrm{E}_n/I) = \mathbb{Z}/2$, where $\mathrm{E}_n$ is a Lubin--Tate theory and $I$ is an ideal…
