The distances between words calculated in word units are studied and compared with the distributions of the Random Matrix Theory (RMT). It is found that the distribution of distance between the same words can be well described by the…
Fix a probability $p\in(0,1)$. Let $s_i$ denote the transposition in the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ that swaps $i$ and $i+1$. Given a word $\mathsf{w}$ over the alphabet $\{s_1,\ldots,s_{n-1}\}$, we can generate a random subword by…
A group word $w$ is said to be strongly concise in a class $\mathcal{C}$ of profinite groups if, for every group $G$ in $\mathcal{C}$ such that $w$ takes less than $2^{\aleph_0}$ values in $G$, the verbal subgroup $w(G)$ is finite. Detomi,…
Words are sequences of letters over a finite alphabet. We study two intimately related topics for this object: quasi-randomness and limit theory. With respect to the first topic we investigate the notion of uniform distribution of letters…
We investigate analytically the problem of enumeration of nonequivalent primitive words in the braid group B_n for n >> 1 by analysing the random word statistics and the target space on the basis of the locally free group approximation. We…
The power word problem for a group $G$ asks whether an expression $u_1^{x_1} \cdots u_n^{x_n}$, where the $u_i$ are words over a finite set of generators of $G$ and the $x_i$ binary encoded integers, is equal to the identity of $G$. It is a…
Given two functions $\mathbf{a}\!:\! [n] \rightarrow [n]$ and $\mathbf{b}\!:\! [n] \rightarrow [n]$ chosen uniformly at random, any word $w=w_1w_2\dots w_k\in \{a,b\}^k$ induces a random function $\mathbf{w}\!:\! [n] \rightarrow [n]$ by…
A recent work by A. Mandarino, T. Linowski and K. \.{Z}yczkowski left open the following question. If $ \mu_N $ is a certain permutation of entries of a $ N^2 \times N^2 $ matrix ("mixing map") and $ U_N $ is a $ N^2 \times N^2 $ Haar…
We give two results for computing doubly-twisted conjugacy relations in free groups with respect to homomorphisms $\phi$ and $\psi$ such that certain remnant words from $\phi$ are longer than the images of generators under $\psi$. Our first…
This paper describes the probabilistic behaviour of a random Sturmian word. It performs the probabilistic analysis of the recurrence function which can be viewed as a waiting time to discover all the factors of length $n$ of the Sturmian…
A Sturmian word is a map W from the natural numbers into {0,1} for which the set of {0,1}-vectors F_n(W):={(W(i),W(i+1),...,W(i+n-1))^T : i \ge 0} has cardinality exactly n+1 for each positive integer n. Our main result is that the volume…
We study word metrics on Z^d by developing tools that are fine enough to measure dependence on the generating set. We obtain counting and distribution results for the words of length n. With this, we show that counting measure on spheres…
Most research related to unithood were conducted as part of a larger effort for the determination of termhood. Consequently, novelties are rare in this small sub-field of term extraction. In addition, existing work were mostly empirically…
The palindromic length of a finite word $w$ is defined as the minimal number of palindromes such that their product is $w$. Clearly, this function may take different values depending on if we consider $w$ as an element a free semigroup or…
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…
Given uniform probability on words of length M=Np+k, from an alphabet of size p, consider the probability that a word (i) contains a subsequence of letters (p, p-1,...,1) in that order and (ii) that the maximal length of the disjoint union…
We obtain a central limit theorem for bulk counting statistics of free fermions in smooth domains of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with an explicit description of the covariance structure. This amounts to a study of the asymptotics of norms of commutators…
A word $w$ in a free group is {\em achiral} if for every group $G,$ $G_w=G_{w^{-1}},$ where $G_w$ is the image of the word map $w$ on $G.$ We will give few classes of examples of achiral words. Cocke and Ho asked whether Engel words are…
The circular unitary ensemble and its generalizations concern a random matrix from a compact classical group $\mathrm{U}(N)$, $\mathrm{SU}(N)$, $\mathrm{O}(N)$, $\mathrm{SO}(N)$ or $\mathrm{USp}(N)$ distributed according to the Haar…
Let $\mathbf{F}$ be the free group on two generators $a, b$ and let a family of words $w = [[a, b], [a^3, b^n]]$ in $\mathbf{F}$. In this paper we examine surjectivity of word map $w$ on special unitary group SU(2) over complex field…
