Motivated by a question of A. Rapinchuk concerning general reductive groups, we are investigating the following question: Given a finitely generated integral domain $R$ with field of fractions $F$, is there a \emph{finitely generated…
We prove that (under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis) a totally real multiquadratic number field $K$ has a positive density of primes $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ for which the image of the unit group $(\mathcal{O}_K)^{\times})$…
Let S=Sym(\Omega) be the group of all permutations of an infinite set \Omega. Extending an argument of Macpherson and Neumann, it is shown that if U is a generating set for S as a group, respectively as a monoid, then there exists a…
The classical result, due to Jordan, Burnside, Dickson, says that every normal subgroup of $GL(n, K)$ ($K$ - a field, $n \geq 3$) which is not contained in the center, contains $SL(n, K)$. A. Rosenberg gave description of normal subgroups…
Fix $k \geq 6$. We prove that any large enough finite group $G$ contains $k$ elements which span quadratically many triples of the form $(a,b,ab) \in S \times G$, given any dense set $S \subseteq G \times G$. The quadratic bound is…
We prove that, for every integer $n \ge 2$, a finite or infinite countable group $G$ can be embedded into a 2-generated group $H$ in such a way that the solvability of quadratic equations of length at most $n$ is preserved, i.e., every…
Let $K$ be a number field and let $G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $K^\times$. For all but finitely many primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$, the reduction $(G \bmod \mathfrak p)$ generates a well-defined subgroup of the multiplicative group…
Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and let $G$ be a finite group. Given a $G$-Galois $K$-algebra $K_h$, let $\mathcal{O}_h$ denote its ring of integers. If $K_h/K$ is tame, then a classical theorem of E. Noether…
In this paper, we give strong lower bounds on the size of the sets of products of matrices in some certain groups. More precisely, we prove an analogue of a result due to Chapman and Iosevich for matrices in $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ with…
We establish a canonical and unique tensor product for commutative monoids and groups in an infinity-category C which generalizes the ordinary tensor product of abelian groups. Using this tensor product we show that E_n-(semi)ring objects…
An old question of Erdos asks if there exists, for each number N, a finite set S of integers greater than N and residue classes r(n) mod n for n in S whose union is all the integers. We prove that if $\sum_{n\in S} 1/n$ is bounded for such…
Let S be a principally embedded sl_2 subalgebra in sl_n for n > 2. A special case of results of the third author and Gregg Zuckerman implies that there exists a positive integer b(n) such that for any finite-dimensional irreducible sl_n…
In this paper we prove: Theorem 1. Let $\mathcal{K}$ be an abstract elementary class which satisfies the joint embedding and amalgamation properties. Suppose $\lambda>\mu\geq LS(\mathcal{K})$ and $\theta$ is a limit ordinal $<\lambda^+$. If…
We compute the $K$-theory of crossed products of rotation algebras $\mathcal{A}_\theta$, for any real angle $\theta$, by matrices in $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with infinite order. Using techniques of continuous fields, we show that the…
We study finite semigroups of $n \times n$ matrices with rational entries. Such semigroups provide a rich generalization of transition monoids of unambiguous (and, in particular, deterministic) finite automata. In this paper we determine…
We show that certain classes of modules have universal models with respect to pure embeddings. $Theorem.$ Let $R$ be a ring, $T$ a first-order theory with an infinite model extending the theory of $R$-modules and $K^T=(Mod(T), \leq_{pp})$…
Let $\{A_{i,n}\}$ be a triangular array of elements in a Banach algebra, whose norms do not grow too fast, and whose row averages converge to $A$. Let $\sigma \in S(n)$ be a permutation drawn uniformly at random. If the array only contains…
For an algebraic number field $K$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{K}$, an important subgroup of the ideal class group $Cl_{K}$ is the {\it P\'{o}lya group}, denoted by $Po(K)$, which measures the failure of the $\mathcal{O}_{K}$-module…
Assuming Generalized Riemann's Hypothesis, Bach proved that the class group $\mathcal C\!\ell_{\mathbf K}$ of a number field ${\mathbf K}$ may be generated using prime ideals whose norm is bounded by $12\log^2\Delta_{\mathbf K}$, and by…
We consider a product of two finite order quantum $SU(2)$-gates $U_1$, $U_2$ and ask when $U_1\cdot U_2$ has an infinite order. Using the fact that $SU(2)$ is a double cover of $SO(3)$ we actually study the product $O(\gamma,\vec{k}_{12})$…
