A well-known conjecture states that a random symmetric $n \times n$ matrix with entries in $\{-1,1\}$ is singular with probability $\Theta\big( n^2 2^{-n} \big)$. In this paper we prove that the probability of this event is at most…
Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…
Inter-relations between random matrix ensembles with different symmetry types provide inter-relations between generating functions for the gap probabilites at the spectrum edge. Combining these in the scaled limit with the exact evaluation…
In this paper we obtain significant bounds for the number of maximal subgroups of a given index of a finite group. These results allow us to give new bounds for the number of random generators needed to generate a finite $d$-generated group…
We study the complexity of multiplication in noncommutative group algebras which is closely related to the complexity of matrix multiplication. We characterize such semisimple group algebras of the minimal bilinear complexity and show…
We investigate lower bounds for the variance in arithmetic progressions of certain multiplicative functions "close" to $1$. Specifically, we consider $\alpha_N$-fold divisor functions, when $\alpha_N$ is a sequence of positive real numbers…
Using some new observations connected to higher energies, we obtain quantitative lower bounds on $\max\{|AB|, |A+C| \}$ and $\max\{|(A+\alpha)B|, |A+C|\}$, $\alpha \neq 0$ in the regime when the sizes of finite subsets $A,B,C$ of a field…
The normal covering number $\gamma(G)$ of a finite, non-cyclic group $G$ is the minimum number of proper subgroups such that each element of $G$ lies in some conjugate of one of these subgroups. We find lower bounds linear in $n$ for…
A numerical semigroup is a subset of the non-negative integers that is closed under addition. For a randomly generated numerical semigroup, the expected number of minimum generators can be expressed in terms of a doubly-indexed sequence of…
We shall give an explicit upper bound for the smallest prime factor of multiperfect numbers of the form $N=p_1^{\alpha_1}\cdots p_s^{\alpha_s} q_1^{\beta_1}\cdots q_t^{\beta_t}$ with $\beta_1, \ldots, \beta_t$ bounded by a given constant.…
The symmetric group acts on polynomial differential forms on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ through its action by permuting the coordinates. In this paper the $S_{n}% $-invariants are shown to be freely generated by the elementary symmetric polynomials…
We determine the sharp asymptotic scale of the probability that two uniformly random permutations are comparable in weak Bruhat order, showing that $\mathbb{P}(\sigma_1 \preceq_W \sigma_2)=\exp\Bigl(\bigl(-\tfrac12+o(1)\bigr)\,n\log…
We compute the expected number of commutations appearing in a reduced word for the longest element in the symmetric group. The asymptotic behavior of this value is analyzed and shown to approach the length of the permutation, meaning that…
The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (1)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…
We conclude our work [arXiv:2403.07628, arXiv:2503.12644] on asymptotic expansions at the soft edge for the classical $n$-dimensional Gaussian and Laguerre ensembles, now studying the gap-probability generating functions. We show that the…
We prove that analogues of the Hardy-Littlewood generalised twin prime conjecture for almost primes hold on average. Our main theorem establishes an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $n=p_1p_2 \leq X$ such that $n+h$ is a…
We initiate the study of quadratic discrepancy for finite point sets on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb H^n$ with respect to upper Ahlfors regular probability measures. For a natural family of test sets given by left translations and…
Famously, every finite simple group $G$ can be generated by a pair of elements. Moreover, Liebeck and Shalev (1995) proved that the probability that a pair of elements generate $G$ tends to $1$ as $|G| \to \infty$. More generally, work of…
There exist two different sorts of gaps in the nonsymmetric numerical additive semigroups finitely generated by a minimal set of positive integers {d_1,...,d_m}. The h-gaps are specific only for the nonsymmetric semigroups while the g-gaps…
We strengthen Marshall Hall's Theorem to show that free groups are locally extended residually alternating. Let F be any free group of rank at least two, let H be a finitely generated subgroup of infinite index in F and let {g_1,...,g_n} be…
