Let $G$ be a sofic group, and let $\Sigma = (\sigma_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be a sofic approximation to it. For a probability-preserving $G$-system, a variant of the sofic entropy relative to $\Sigma$ has recently been defined in terms of sequences…
Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a connected semisimple real algebraic group $G$. Let $k=\operatorname{rank} G$. Let $\psi_\Gamma:\mathfrak{a} \to \mathbb{R}\cup \{-\infty\}$ be the growth indicator function of $\Gamma$,…
Motivated by a problem in the theory of integer-valued polynomials, we investigate the natural density of the solutions of equations of the form $\theta_uu_q(n)+\theta_ww_q(n)+\theta_2\frac{n(n+1)}{2}+\theta_1n+\theta_0\equiv 0\bmod d$,…
It is shown that infinite, discrete, Kazhdan property (T) groups never have the {\it finite-dimensional density} (FDD) property. This answers a conjecture of Lubotzky and Shalom affirmatively.
Let G=SO(n,1) and Gamma a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup of G which is contained in an arithmetic subgroup of G. Denoting by Gamma(q) the principal congruence subgroup of Gamma of level q, and fixing a positive number \lambda_0…
Assume that $G$ is a finite group and let $a$ and $b$ be non-negative integers. We define an undirected graph $\Gamma_{a,b}(G)$ whose vertices correspond to the elements of $G^a\cup G^b$ and in which two tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_a)$ and…
Strong bounds are obtained for the number of automorphic forms for the group $\Gamma_0(q) \subseteq \operatorname{Sp}(4,\mathbb{Z})$ violating the Ramanujan conjecture at any given unramified place, which go beyond Sarnak's density…
Let X be a group with identity e, let A be an infinite set of generators for X, and let (X,d_A) be the metric space with the word metric d_A induced by A. If the diameter of the space is infinite, then for every positive integer h there are…
Let $X_{1,n}\le\cdots\le X_{n,n}$ be the order statistics of $n$ independent random variables with a common distribution function $F$ having right heavy tail with tail index $\gamma$. Given known constants $d_{i,n}$, $1\le i\le n$, consider…
We prove the limit theorem for paths of random walks with $n$ steps in $\mathbb{R}^d$ as $n$ and $d$ both go to infinity. For this, the paths are viewed as finite metric spaces equipped with the $\ell_p$-metric for $p\in[1,\infty)$. Under…
We extend Friedman's theorem to show that, for any fixed $r>1$, a random $2r$--regular Schreier graph associated with the action of $r$ uniformly random permutations of $[n]$ on $k_{n}$--tuples of distinct elements in $[n]$ has a…
It is proved that the assembly map in algebraic K- and L-theory with respect to the family of finite subgroups is injective for groups $\Gamma$ with finite quotient finite decomposition complexity (a strengthening of finite decomposition…
The classical prime geodesic theorem (PGT) gives an asymptotic formula (as $x$ tends to infinity) for the number of closed geodesics with length at most $x$ on a hyperbolic manifold $M$. Closed geodesics correspond to conjugacy classes of…
We are now witnessing a rapid growth of a new part of group theory which has become known as "statistical group theory". A typical result in this area would say something like ``a random element (or a tuple of elements) of a group G has a…
For a probability distribution $P$ on an at most countable alphabet $\mathcal A$, this article gives finite sample bounds for the expected occupancy counts $\mathbb E K_{n,r}$ and probabilities $\mathbb E M_{n,r}$. Both upper and lower…
Gowers has elegantly characterized the finite groups $G$ in which $A_1A_2A_3 = G$ for any positive density subsets $A_1,A_2,A_3$. This property, quasi-randomness, holds if and only if G does not admit a nontrivial irreducible representation…
The theorem of Chung, Graham, and Wilson on quasi-random graphs asserts that of all graphs with edge density p, the random graph G(n,p) contains the smallest density of copies of K_{t,t}, the complete bipartite graph of size 2t. Since…
Given $d\geq 2$ and two rooted $d$-ary trees $D$ and $T$ such that $D$ has $k$ leaves, the density $\gamma(D,T)$ of $D$ in $T$ is the proportion of all $k$-element subsets of leaves of $T$ that induce a tree isomorphic to $D$, after erasing…
In this paper, we compute the {\Sigma}^n(G) and {\Omega}^n(G) invariants when 1 \rightarrow H \rightarrow G \rightarrow K \rightarrow 1 is a short exact sequence of finitely generated groups with K finite. We also give sufficient conditions…
Yin, Rinaldo, and Fadnavis classified the extremal behavior of the edge-triangle exponential random graph model by first taking the network size to infinity, then the parameters diverging to infinity along straight lines. Lubetzky and Zhao…
