We present some Markovian approaches to prove universality results for some functions on the symmetric group. Some of those statistics are already studied in [Kammoun, 2018, 2020] but not the general case. We prove, in particular, that the…

We summarize several results about non-simplicity, solvability and normal structure of finite groups related to the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product or the power of conjugacy classes. We also collect some problems that…

A {\it $k$-involution} is an involution with a fixed point set of codimension $k$. The conjugacy class of such an involution, denoted $S_k$, generates $\text{M\"ob}(n)$-the the group of isometries of hyperbolic $n$-space-if $k$ is odd, and…

We introduce the new notion of a conjugate weight function and provide a detailed study of this operation and its properties. Then we apply this knowledge to study classes of ultradifferentiable functions defined in terms of fast growing…

The aim of this short note is to provide a proof of the decidability of the generalized membership problem for relatively quasi-convex subgroups of finitely presented relatively hyperbolic groups, under some reasonably mild conditions on…

We describe a procedure which verifies that a group given by generators and relators is word-hyperbolic. This procedure always works with a group which is word-hyperbolic, provided there is sufficient memory and time devoted to the problem.…

We construct a class of finitely generated groups which have arbitrarily large conjugacy separability function, but in which the conjugacy problem can be solved in polynomial time, demonstrating that the McKinsey algorithm for the conjugacy…

Given a system of equations in a "random" finitely generated subgroup of the braid group, we show how to find a small ordered list of elements in the subgroup, which contains a solution to the equations with a significant probability.…

To every finitely generated group one can assign the conjugacy growth function that counts the number of conjugacy classes intersecting a ball of radius $n$. Results of Ivanov and Osin show that the conjugacy growth function may be constant…

In this paper, we consider the moments of statistics on conjugacy classes of the colored permutation groups $\mathfrak{S}_{n,r}=\mathbb{Z}_r\wr \mathfrak{S}_n$. We first show that any fixed moment coincides on all conjugacy classes where…

In this paper, we explore conjugacy languages when the base problem is the generalized conjugacy problem (with constraints): given $g\in G$ and $U\subset G$, does $g$ have a conjugate in $U$ (with conjugators in a certain subset)? To do so,…

We consider a coarse version of the marked length spectrum rigidity: given a group with two left invariant metrics, if the marked length spectrum (the translation length function) under the two metrics are the same, then the two metrics are…

In this paper we study the conjugacy problem in polycyclic groups. Our main result is that we construct polycyclic groups $G_n$ whose conjugacy problem is at least as hard as the subset sum problem with $n$ indeterminates. As such, the…

Let $G$ be a toral relatively hyperbolic group, and let $\varphi\in\mathrm{Aut}(G)$. We prove that, under iteration of $\varphi$, the conjugacy length $||\varphi^n(g)||$ of every element $g\in G$ grows like $n^d\lambda^n$ for some…
