We describe a curious structure of the special orthogonal, special unitary, and symplectic groups that has not been observed, namely, they can be expressed as matrix products of their corresponding Grassmannians realized as involution…
A subset $S$ of a group $G$ invariably generates $G$ if $G$ is generated by $\{ s^g(s) | s\in S\} $ for any choice of $g(s)\in G, s\in S$. In case $G$ is topological one defines similarly the notion of topological invariable generation. A…
We present the first algorithm for computing class groups and unit groups of arbitrary number fields that provably runs in probabilistic subexponential time, assuming the Extended Riemann Hypothesis (ERH). Previous subexponential algorithms…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a sequence of finite perfect transitive permutation groups with uniformly bounded number of generators. We prove that the infinitely iterated wreath product in product action of the groups in $\mathcal{S}$ is…
Let $\mathcal{K}$ be the space of properly embedded minimal tori in quotients of $\R^3$ by two independent translations, with any fixed (even) number of parallel ends. After an appropriate normalization, we prove that $\mathcal{K}$ is a…
We construct a unital locally matrix algebra of uncountable dimension that (1) does not admit a primary decomposition, (2) has an infinite locally finite Steinitz number. It gives negative answers to questions from \cite{BezOl} and…
We consider the asymptotics of $k$-dimensional spherical integrals when $k = o(N)$. We prove that the $o(N)$-dimensional spherical integrals are approximately the products of $1$-dimensional spherical integrals. Our formulas extend the…
Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let $R = A[X]$ be the polynomial ring in an infinite collection $X$ of indeterminates over $A$. Let ${\mathfrak S}_{X}$ be the group of permutations of $X$. The group ${\mathfrak S}_{X}$ acts on…
The Heisenberg group, here denoted $H$, is the group of all $3\times 3$ upper unitriangular matrices with entries in the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers. A.G. Myasnikov posed the question of whether or not the universal theory of $H$, in the…
The main result of the present paper is bounded elementary generation of the Steinberg groups $\mathrm{St}(\Phi,R)$ for simply laced root systems $\Phi$ of rank $\ge 2$ and arbitrary Dedekind rings of arithmetic type. Also, we prove bounded…
We describe sufficient conditions which guarantee that a finite set of mapping classes generate a right-angled Artin group quasi-isometrically embedded in the mapping class group. Moreover, under these conditions, the orbit map to…
We show that for every finite set of prime numbers S, there are at most finitely many singular moduli that are S-units. The key new ingredient is that for every prime number p, singular moduli are p-adically disperse. We prove analogous…
Let $\Gamma$ denote the modular group $SL(2,\Bbb Z)$ and $C_n(\Gamma)$ the number of congruence subgroups of $\Gamma$ of index at most $n$. We prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} \frac{\log C_n(\Gamma)}{(\log n)^2/\log\log n} =…
Weinberger in 1972, proved that the ring of integers of a number field with unit rank at least $1$ is a principal ideal domain if and only if it is a Euclidean domain, provided the generalised Riemann hypothesis holds. Lenstra extended the…
Let $\mathfrak{M}_n$ be the multiplicative monoid of $n \times n$ matrices over a finite field. The monoid algebra $\mathbf{C}[\mathfrak{M}_n]$ has been studied for several decades. One of the important early results is Kov\'acs' theorem…
It was shown by Rordam and the second named author that a countable group G admits an action on a compact space such that the crossed product is a Kirchberg algebra if, and only if, G is exact and non-amenable. This construction allows a…
We prove that for a number field $F$, the distribution of the points of a set $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{A}_F^n$ with a purely exponential parametrization, for example a set of matrices boundedly generated by semi-simple (diagonalizable)…
We show that a unital ring is generated by its commutators as an ideal if and only if there exists a natural number $N$ such that every element is a sum of $N$ products of pairs of commutators. We show that one can take $N \leq 2$ for…
As a consequence of Kirchberg's work, Connes' Embedding Conjecture is equivalent to the property that every homomorphism of the group $F_\infty\times F_\infty$ into the unitary group $U(\ell^2)$ with the strong topology is pointwise…
We establish the universality of the singular numbers in random matrix products over $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ as the number of products approaches infinity, with a fixed $n\ge 1$. We demonstrate that, under a broad class of…
